The View host Whoopi Goldberg reportedly told former host Abby Huntsman that she was making “the best decision you’ll make in your career” when she quit the show.

Huntsman, who left the show in January, ended her stint on The View because of the “constant dysfunction,” according to the new book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View. “In interviews with more than ten current and former staff on the show, they confirmed the portrait of a talk show hobbled by constant dysfunction,” an excerpt of the book recounts.
