Alyssa Farah Griffin Brought To Tears

Alyssa Farah Griffin was baffled by the unfolding of the conversation between Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin. She interrupted the pair and asserted that she often cries at work on The View. In addition, she stated that she often hides her tears from the others. Alyssa stated, “I have cried at this job at least half a dozen times. Are you kidding me?” She asked Sunny, “Have you done this job?” Griffin further explained that she considers every corner of the building a spot where she can cry. She argued:

“This is a very hard job to do and, oftentimes, I have the only opinion that’s different at a table of five people. I would like to state, for the record, this is a great job! Every time I have cried, [producer Brian Teta] gives great hugs.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that fellow panelist Sara Haines has shed tears on-air before. Haines responded:

“Gen Z and maybe the generation before are talking about [this issue] because they can call it something. For years, and decades and millennia, we have all channeled it into other places. But, [yes], I do cry!”

Whoopi Goldberg remained skeptical of what her fellow panelist had to say about the emotional toll of their position on The View. However, she said:

“There is nothing that people should be able to do to you [here] to make you cry! … Let us support you! Because nobody should be crying at this job.”
