ABC forced an ailing Barbara Walters (https://pagesix.com/2022/12/30/inside-barbara-walters-tough-final-year-at-the-view/) to quit “The View” in 2014, according to former co-host Lisa Ling.
In a recent interview, Ling recalled a conversation she had with Walters on the late broadcast journalist’s last day on the talk show.
“‘Barbara, in a couple of months, are you going to be lounging in a hammock in Tahiti?’” Ling said she asked Walters while they were off the air.
“And [Walters] just leaned over and whispered, ‘They’re making me quit,’” the CNN host claimed to the Cut (https://www.thecut.com/article/barbara-walters-legacy.html) in a story published March 13.
