🔥 On-Air Tension at The View: Alyssa Farah Griffin Rolls Eyes at Joy Behar During Heated Clash — Whoopi Steps In With Stern Warning

What was supposed to be a routine hot topics segment on The View quickly spiraled into live-TV awkwardness on Monday, when conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was caught rolling her eyes at Joy Behar mid-debate — prompting a rare, firm interjection from moderator Whoopi Goldberg, who warned, “Be nice.”

📺 The Moment That Broke the Table

The tension erupted during a spirited discussion on the upcoming 2024 election cycle and the role of political satire. Joy Behar, never one to mince words, made a pointed comment implying that “younger Republicans often toe the Trump line and then try to wash it off in the media.”

Farah Griffin, who has worked in the Trump administration but distanced herself from the former president, visibly bristled and interrupted, defending younger conservatives with a sharp tone:

“That’s a blanket statement and frankly, it’s intellectually lazy.”

As Behar launched into a retort, viewers caught Alyssa’s unmistakable eye roll, her gaze darting away with an exasperated sigh. The camera lingered just long enough for Twitter to explode.

Within seconds, Whoopi stepped in with her trademark calm but commanding voice:

“Okay, okay, okay — be nice. Let’s not get personal.”

The audience gave a nervous laugh, but the tension at the table remained icy for the next few minutes.

😬 Behind the Scenes: Is the Sisterhood Cracking?

A backstage source tells us this isn’t the first time Alyssa and Joy have butted heads, but it’s one of the most visible clashes since Griffin joined the panel full-time in 2022.

“There’s respect between them, sure — but there’s also some generational and ideological friction that never quite settles,” the source said. “Joy is fiery, but Alyssa can give it right back, and that doesn’t always sit well with the OGs.”

Griffin, a seasoned communications strategist, has tried to position herself as a moderate conservative voice — but critics (and sometimes co-hosts) suggest she’s still “playing clean-up” for her former affiliations.

Behar, now 81, has long been the show’s liberal firebrand, and she doesn’t easily tolerate what she sees as political double-speak.

💬 Social Media Reacts

Fans on social media were divided — as always.

@politipop tweeted: “Alyssa Farah Griffin rolling her eyes at Joy Behar on national TV?! Baby girl, you’re still on probation.”

@TalkShowTea wrote: “Whoopi telling them to ‘be nice’ felt like a mom on a long road trip with fighting siblings.”

Meanwhile, some applauded Griffin for standing up to the long-running host: “Joy is not above criticism. Alyssa’s composure was 🔥.”

🎭 What Happens Next?

While tensions like this are hardly new at The View — a show built on differing perspectives — moments like these show how fragile the chemistry can be, even after nearly three decades on air.

Will it blow over in tomorrow’s episode? Or will producers have to hold another post-show “vibe check”?

As one longtime viewer put it: “When Whoopi puts down her mug to mediate, you know it’s serious.”
