The View‘s only conservative co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, revealed that she has cried backstage “at least a half dozen times.”

On a recent episode of the show, Sunny Hostin said that she’d never felt the luxury to cry at work, to which Griffin responded that she does cry backstage, but hides it.

“I have cried at this job at least a half a dozen times, are you kidding? Have you done this job?” Griffin said.

Griffin and her cohosts regularly clash on the show over varying political opinions, especially on topics relating to Donald Trump and the 2024 presidential election. She said, “This is a very hard job to do,” and that it’s difficult to “have the only opinion that’s different at a table of five people.”

Griffin recently described Trump’s decorating style as “somewhere between Pablo Escobar and Liberace. He loves the gold tchotchke.”

During the election, multiple heated arguments occurred on the show, leading to sudden commercial breaks and obvious tensions between Griffin and the other hosts at times.

Griffin did elaborate that she enjoys being a host on The View.

Whoopi Goldberg seemed genuinely surprised by Griffin’s comments, offering to help her because “nobody should be crying at this job.”
