Abby Huntsman Left ‘The View’ After A Year Due To Leadership, Management Issues, Book Claims

Abby Hunstman left “The View” after just over a year due to leadership and management issues.

Huntsman told Whoopi Goldberg that she was leaving “The View“ back in January. She was part of the show for over a year. Now, Ramin Setoodeh is revealing new details about Huntsman’s decision to leave the show in his book “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View.”

“This is the best decision you’ll make in your career,” Goldberg reportedly told Huntsman in an excerpt of the book obtained by Us Weekly. However, another insider told the publication that Godlberg didn’t say this.

When Huntsman announced that she was leaving the show, her reason was to join her father, Jon Huntsman Jr., on his political campaign because he is running for governor in Utah. But the book claims that there are more reasons other than what Huntsman said.

“Abby, who had spent just over a year on ‘The View’, reached her decision after multiple conversations with ABC executives about the toxicity at the root of the show,” an except of the book read.

“When they didn’t respond to her, she told them that she’d like to move on, according to sources with knowledge of those conversations. Abby didn’t think that anyone at ABC was looking out for her.”

Hunstman was reportedly not happy with the show’s management and leadership. An insider also likened ABC’s management style to the way Bravo stroke rivalries between the cast of “Real Housewives” for more explosive moments on TV.

“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,” the book claimed.

“They described a work environment where three executive producers play a game of hot potato, not dealing with resentments or festering tensions among the cohosts or staff.”

“There’s no leadership and no management. Whenever there’s a problem, nobody communicates,” one high-ranking staff member said.

On Sunday, Hunstman shared adorable snaps of her daughter with two other babies on Instagram. “Happy Easter from our chicks to yours,” she wrote in the caption.
