What was supposed to be a nostalgic guest appearance turned into a televised meltdown that left The View in complete chaos. Legendary actor Sylvester Stallone was reportedly escorted out of the studio after a heated on-air clash with co-host Joy Behar — and insiders say the moment may go down as one of the show’s most explosive ever.

The drama unfolded during a segment about masculinity in modern media. Stallone, invited to discuss the legacy of his tough-guy roles in Rocky and Rambo, didn’t shy away from offering his unfiltered views — but when Behar pushed back, things spiraled fast.

“Your kind of macho character created generations of men who don’t know how to express emotions,” Behar said pointedly.

Stallone, visibly irritated, fired back:

“And your kind of talk show created a generation of people who only know how to talk — not think.”

The live audience gasped. Behar snapped, calling his response “childish and sexist.” Stallone stood his ground, accusing the show of being “scripted outrage disguised as conversation.” The temperature in the room soared.

Within moments, security was called — not because Stallone posed a threat, but to de-escalate what producers feared could turn physical. According to behind-the-scenes reports, Stallone was asked to leave before the segment ended. As he exited, he was heard saying, “You invited me here, now you want to silence me?”

The fallout has been swift and fierce. Clips of the exchange went viral within minutes, igniting a digital firestorm. Supporters of Stallone hailed him for “vạch trần” what they called the show’s “politically correct echo chamber,” while others accused him of “tuyên bố gây sốc” meant to stir controversy.

ABC has declined to comment, but several sources close to the production admit that producers are rattled. One anonymous staffer described the atmosphere afterward as “tense, shocked, and a little embarrassed.”

Behar, a veteran of many verbal battles on the show, has yet to respond publicly, but co-host Sunny Hostin alluded to the chaos on her Instagram story later that evening, writing:

“Sometimes real conversations hurt — but they’re necessary.”

Calls for tẩy chay have begun trending — both from viewers outraged by Stallone’s comments and those angry at The View for cutting the segment short. Meanwhile, Stallone’s camp insists he was blindsided by what they’re calling an “ambush disguised as an interview.”

With The View already under scrutiny for recent on-air controversies, this latest phốt chấn động is one the network can’t afford to ignore. The question now is: Will this confrontation change how celebrity guests approach the table — or how long The View can keep weathering these public storms?
