The View's Surprising Confessions: Inside Alyssa Farah Griffin's On-Air Tears and Backstage Meltdowns

One of The View co-hosts stunned the rest of the panel with a rather shocking admission of backstage meltdowns on set

The View Co-Hosts Spill the Tea: Backstage Meltdowns and Bathroom Breakdowns Revealed!

In a shocking revelation, one of The View's youngest co-hosts, Alyssa Farah Griffin, spilled the beans about her behind-the-scenes struggles on set. And, boy, was it juicy!

The drama went down during Wednesday's Hot Topics segment, where Whoopi Goldberg brought up an article from thescholarlynote.com about Gen Z workers finding their "safe space" in workplace bathrooms. As you can imagine, things quickly took a turn for the dramatic.

Goldberg, 69, proudly declared herself her own safe space, while Sunny Hostin, 56, revealed she's never felt the luxury of crying at work. "I just try to get my work done, be as excellent as I can, and go home and chill out," Hostin said matter-of-factly.

But then, Griffin, 35, dropped a bombshell: "I cry at work, but I hide it, so my bosses will never know." The room fell silent as Hostin's eyes widened in surprise. "You cry at work?" she asked, her tone laced with intrigue.

Griffin laughed and confirmed the rumors: "I have cried at this job at least a half-dozen times. Are you kidding me? Have you done this job?" She added facetiously, "That's every corner of this building."

It was then that one of hosts admitted to crying at work, the youngest in The View panel, Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35.

Joy Behar couldn't resist asking what had triggered Griffin's tears. The co-host revealed that it was often because she felt like an outsider in the room. "This is a very hard job to do, and I oftentimes have the only opinion that's different at a table of five people," she said.

Sara Haines, 47, chimed in, revealing that she too had a soft spot for crying on air. "Let me clarify, it's not just a Gen Z problem," she said, nodding in solidarity with Griffin. "Gen Z and maybe the generation before are talking about it because they can call it something. For years and decades and millennia, we have all channeled it into other places."

When asked what exactly made her cry, Haines confessed that it was often related to past breakups. "I try to hide it as well, but I don't hide in bathrooms because I hate bathrooms," she said with a laugh.

'I cry at work but I hide it, so my bosses will never know,' Griffin said, which clearly stunned Hostin, who asked, 'You cry at work?'

As the conversation continued, Griffin joked about how their producer, Brian Teta, provides great hugs when they're feeling down. Goldberg chimed in, expressing surprise that people still cry at work: "The thing that shocks me is it's like, there is nothing that people should be able to do to make you cry because let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job, nobody."

The audience applauded as the co-hosts shared their vulnerabilities and laughed together. It was clear that even the strongest among them have struggled with emotions in the high-pressure world of television.

Griffin's revelation has left fans wondering what other secrets the show's hosts might be hiding behind closed doors. One thing is certain, though: The View just got a whole lot more real!

Griffin added that her revelation reminded her of a meme from The Simpsons which she showed to the crowd, where Bart Simpson is showing his friend Milhouse where he goes to cry, adding, 'That's every corner of this building.'

Alyssa Farah Griffin's Shocking Admission

As one of The View's youngest co-hosts, Alyssa Farah Griffin has had to navigate the challenges of working in a high-pressure environment. But in a surprising twist, she revealed that she too is not immune to the occasional workplace meltdown.

In a candid conversation with her fellow hosts, Griffin confessed that she has cried at work multiple times, but always makes sure to hide it from her bosses. "I cry at work but I hide it, so my bosses will never know," she said, adding a dash of humor to the revelation.

Sara Haines, 47, chimed in and said, 'Let me clarify, it's not just a Gen Z problem,' as Griffin joked that Haines has 'cried on air.'

Griffin's admission sent shockwaves through the room, with Sunny Hostin expressing surprise and Sara Haines chiming in about her own struggles with crying on air. Whoopi Goldberg, ever the voice of reason, emphasized that nobody should have to cry at work, but it's clear that even the strongest among them are not immune to the occasional emotional breakdown.
