THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards Finalist, Best Non-Fiction Book

The gossipy real-life soap opera behind a serious show.

When Barbara Walters launched The View, network executives told her that hosting it would tarnish her reputation. Instead, within ten years, she'd revolutionized morning TV and made household names of her co-hosts: Joy Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But the daily chatfest didn't just comment on the news. It became the news. And the headlines barely scratched the surface.

Based on unprecedented access, including stunning interviews with nearly every host, award-winning journalist Ramin Setoodeh takes you backstage where the stars really spoke their minds. Here's the full story of how Star, then Rosie, then Whoopi tried to take over the show, while Barbara struggled to maintain control of it all, a modern-day Lear with her media-savvy daughters. You'll read about how so many co-hosts had a tough time fitting in, suffered humiliations at the table, then pushed themselves away, feeling betrayed--one nearly quitting during a commercial. Meanwhile, the director was being driven insane, especially by Rosie.

Setoodeh uncovers the truth about Star's weight loss and wedding madness. Rosie's feud with Trump. Whoopi's toxic relationship with Rosie. Barbara's difficulty stepping away. Plus, all the unseen hugs, snubs, tears--and one dead rodent.

Ladies Who Punch shows why The View can be mimicked and mocked, but it can never be matched.

Love!
Color: Embossed Leather - Tan
Surprisingly good quality. My boyfriend loves that you can take out the smaller bifold piece and use it on its own if needed - a 2 in 1.

Great quality, Highly Impressed!
Size: 12, Color: Light Brown
These are of great quality and surprisingly comfortable. This is my first pair of HEYDUDE. I am really impressed! They are true to size. They fit my wide feet without any issues and they are my new absolute favorites! Super lightweight, extra stylish with the platform lift, and completely worth it. The color matches the photos.

Slip on shoe love
Size: 9, Color: Black/Black, Size: 9, Color: Black/Black
These are a more narrow fit so if you are a wide fit girlie or you don’t like tight fitting shoes you might want to try to size up or try to find something that has a wide version. But I love them super cute and absolutely great quality..skip on and slip off love it!!! I will be looking into a different color,I got black for work ..but they are comfortable . Update-after wearing the black suede for a few days I purchased the brown suede as well.... And I can say they do loosen up a little still a a narrow fit but not right feeling.

Walking on clouds…
Size: 6, Color: Blush, Size: 6, Color: Blush
The most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Usually I wear size 6,5 -7. I followed recommendations and order size 6. It was a perfect fit. It was ideal for my problematic wide feet. The shoes are light weight and well made. They look great and feel as cozy as slippers. Absolutely love them and strongly recommend to go size down as I did.

Comfort and fashion collide
Size: 7, Color: Brown Leopard
These platform mules meet the following three criteria points: fashionable, comfortable, and affordable. I wear them all day thanks to the great arch support. In fact, I have three pairs in multiple colors. I normally wear a 7.5 but sized down to 7 after trying a 7 and 8.
