Meghan McCain’s reportedly not doing too hot behind the scenes of the View…
It sounds like she’s having a tough time coping with being the lone conservative on the show.
The former Fox News contributor has TV producers concerned over the backstage drama, according to a close source at the network.
Meghan’s most recent outburst occurred before one of last week’s shows following a weekend party she attended with fellow Republicans, who told her she was part of a ‘fake news movement.’
The comment referred to the network’s decision to suspend reporter Brian Ross for his erroneous report about former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
‘She had this dramatic meltdown in her dressing room and kept saying that no one knows how hard it is to be on this show and be conservative,’ a source revealed.
So… I understand how hard it is to be the lone conservative at a job. Before I became a full time chick, I actually had a LOT of drama at work when I was “outed” as a conservative. It was pretty awful, honestly. But that job wasn’t at all political in nature… I wonder what Meghan was expecting when she took a job with the NOTORIOUSLY liberal “the View.”
‘She kept going on and on about how the viewers don’t like her because she’s conservative and now conservatives don’t like her and saying she supports fake news,’ recalled the source.
‘She just kept saying, “I just can’t win! I just can’t win.”‘
The display a week ago wasn’t the first for Meghan and has come to be expected by those on set.
I don’t think conservatives should give her too much crap. I mean – she does at least try to present another side of the argument, right? If it weren’t for Meghan it would just be the liberal hens clucking back and forth. Whatever. But again, none of this should really come as a surprise to her.
It gets worse:
She reportedly reads all the social media comments about the show daily and the feedback from fans regularly sends her into a tailspin.
‘She has broken down over viewers calling her fat. She broke down in the hair and makeup room one day talking about how people keep saying she’s lying about her age and how she looks old on the show,’ the source added.
‘And another time she was hysterical after reading comments that said she is a privileged rich kid who only got this job and others because of who her daddy is. Now that comment had her go nuts,’ the source disclosed.
Yeah…ok. Rule #1… don’t let the comments get under your skin. Seriously. Stop it. Just stop. Believe me… people are mean. The Chicks and I get shredded on Facebook comments constantly. The people who comment on the site tend to be WAY better, though. For one, they actually read our posts before they start running their mouth. Nothing gets me going like someone complaining about my post when they OBVIOUSLY haven’t read it.
Anyway, yeah. Comments are ruthless… but it’s part of the gig.
I have nothing against Meghan McCain… so I wish her the best of luck, and some tougher skin…. ‘cuz it’s not like being a conservative on a liberal show is going to get any easier any time soon.
