Elisabeth Hasselbeck has said that she is “shocked” that her fellow former View panellist Sherri Shepherd is exiting the show.
ABC confirmed on Thursday (June 26) that Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy are both leaving The View as part of an overhaul that will also include a new studio.
During Friday’s episode of Fox & Friends, she told co-host Steve Doocy she didn’t see Shepherd’s departure coming.
“I was shocked, in some ways,” Hasselbeck said, adding that she’s sure Shepherd is also shocked. “Even if you think that might happen one day, I’m sure it would come across to be a shock.”
“I have not spoken to her in person yet,” she added. “Set to happen, though.”
Shepherd reportedly left the show because she and ABC couldn’t come to terms on her new contract.
After Shepherd made her announcement, The View co-host McCarthy said she’s leaving, too.
