Jenny McCarthy recalls the "horror movie" of working with Barbara Walters on The View

In a new excerpt from Ramin Setoodeh's upcoming book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View, McCarthy recalls Walters yelling at her during her "year from hell" as co-host on the ABC daytime talk show. “You know the movie Mommie Dearest?” McCarthy says in the book. “I remember as a child watching that movie and going, ‘Holy cow!’ I’ve never seen a woman yell like that before until I worked with Barbara Walters.”

She should have quit the show if Walters really behaved that way. No one should be in a hostile work environment.

But she didn’t quit - she was fired at the end of the season- so things couldn’t have been as bad as she described.
