The former host called the workplace 'toxic' (via toofab)
McCain made waves on Thursday with the release of her audiobook"Bad Republican" and the choice words she had to say about her tenure on the talk show.
"In my four years there, I was the target of plenty of shade — too much to even begin to recount — and then I also experienced more toxic, direct and purposeful hostility," McCain stated in her book. The 37-year-old shared that Whoopi had made a promise to the late John McCain to look after Meghan when she joined the show and the TV personality said that she had kept her promise — for the first two years.
After Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2016, McCain stated that Goldberg, along with the rest of the cast and staff, began to turn on her due to her party identity as a Republican. "As the country got worse under Trump, the treatment from Whoopi, Joy and some of the staff grew meaner and less forgiving. It was as if I had become an avatar for everything they hated about the president," she continued."It felt like the co-hosts and staff only knew one Republican — me — and took out all their anger on me, even though I didn't even vote for Trump."
