A representative for “The View” host Joy Behar has officially denied rumors that the longtime panelist will quit the show this fall.
The representative called the rumors false in a statement to The New York Post, saying that Behar has signed another three-year deal with ABC. The new contract is expected to keep her at the network until 2025.
This news came after rumors that the panelist for ABC’s daytime show planned to step down just before her 80th birthday this October.
The Western Journal previously reported the possible departure, citing an April 2020 Variety article where Behar’s retirement plans were discussed in an interview for her nonfiction book, “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View.”
“I have a three-year contract,” Behar said in the book, which came out in 2019. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave if I want to, because they can’t really do anything to me at this point.”
