Sometimes, drama on The View was even caused by competing morning shows. In 2013, The Talk cohost Sharon Osbourne announced her distaste for all the panelists of The View, save for Barbara Walters, whom she admired. The controversial comments were made during an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show with her fellow panelists from The Talk when Hall asked about the difference between her CBS talkshow and ABC's The View.
Osbourne's cohost Julie Chen initially tried to explain the difference with some diplomacy, but Osbourne interrupted. "Stop being polite. Cut to the f*cking chase," she said. "This is the situation. The situation is . . . Barbara: idolize her, divine, she is superhuman. I love Barbara Walters. The rest can go f*ck themselves." A few days later, Osbourne apologised, calling herself "a loose cannon."
