Since The View started in 1997, I've watched it. There have been some regulars I haven't agreed with, but it's The View and everyone has an opinion! The View was Barbara Walter's creation. She is one of the first female journalists and believe me if you know her story, she didn't have an easy time. I was so sorry to read the article in The Province:
Amid Jenny McCarthy’s bombshell tell-all about her former View boss Barbara Walters’ erratic behaviour, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report the TV legend’s dementia is so advanced, she no longer recognizes her closest friends — and the tragic end could be near.
Whoopi Goldberg recently paid a visit to her former co-host, but 89-year-old Walters couldn’t remember her at all, an insider claimed.
And even worse, Goldberg’s presence triggered a screaming fit from the reclusive star, the insider said.
“Barbara’s eyes were opened wide, and she was terrified,” the insider spilled. “Barbara screamed: ‘Who is she? Get out, get out! Help me! Get out.’”
“She wouldn’t stop. No one could calm her down. Whoopi excused herself from the room. She was heartbroken by what she saw.”
And while a rep for the veteran journalist said Walters is doing fine, the insider revealed her dementia is now at such a stage that insiders fear she could die any day.
Walters’ loved ones have been making subtle arrangements for visitors, and devoted friends have been saying their final farewells.
The insider added: “The family is hoping the sight of familiar faces brings her some comfort in her final stretch. They have not said anything specific about the end, but many of the meetings have been solemn and teary.”
There is more to the article, but I don't want to publish the speculation of others.
