Sara Haines Confirms View Departure: Where"s She Headed Next?
Sara Haines is leaving The View.
But she’s not leaving the world of television.
Far from it, in fact.
Following an announcement made at Comic-Con over the weekend, Haines woke up on Monday and confirmed to viewers that she is departing this morning program for another.
Good Morning America, to be specific.
Haines and Michael Strahan will debut their very own hour of GMA on September 10.
“I have a big announcement, it is bittersweet, so I’m going to start with the bitter part, which is just the sad part,” Haines said today, elaborating as follows:
“I will be leaving the show, for the best reason, but I have to start with this.
“I have dreamt about, I have watched the show since it began — look at who I’m flanked by … at the whole table … but there are days I go to look at Whoopi and I can’t finish a sentence because I remember it’s Whoopi Goldberg.”
Haines wasn’t done gushing, either.
“Every time I hear the theme music, I remember watching at home on my couch,” she said.
“This has been a dream I’ve always had to be on this show. Every day I walk out here, I’ve never taken it for granted.”
In conclusion?
“I don’t have words to express my gratitude. I wasn’t done being grateful and pinching myself for just sitting at this table.
“This has been a dream. I’m honored to sit here. I’m honored to go down with this brand sitting behind me every day.”
We certainly believe her, but the pull of having her own series alongside Strahan proved to be too much for Haines to turn down.
GMA Day will replace The Chew in the 1 p.m. time slot of Good Morning America.
“I cannot wait to kick things off with you,” Strahan said to Haines in a promotional video for the upcoming program.
Ever since leaving Kelly Ripa in the dust, Strahan has allegedly made enemies at Good Morning America.
It’s been evident that his goal is to become the most successful retired athlete on television, despite the rise of Alex Rodriguez over at ESPN.
And Haines is clearly psyched to help Strahan defeat all athletic comes in this domain.
Along with a video of her future co-anchor on Instagram, she wrote the following on Monday:
Ahhhhhhhh!! Not even sure I can find the words to adequately express how excited I am to sit next to @michaelstrahan as we embark on this new journey at @GMA #GMADay…it is (and has been) a dream of mine for a LONG time.
It’s bittersweet though as I leave @theviewabc, a place I have called home for the past couple years.
A huge thank you to all the viewers and fans who have followed me along the way.
I LOVE my View family, but don’t worry, my brand new *view* is literally down the street.
For The View, this announcement comes days after it was announced Paula Faris is also departing the program for a new job at ABC News handling breaking news and reporting.
With these two gone, it leaves Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Houston and Meghan McCain sitting at the ABC table each morning.
Until co-host number 2,798 is selected, that is.

Whoopi Goldberg Boots Jeanine Pirro from The View: Watch!
As Donald Trump continues kissing Vladimir Putin"s ass before the international community, some of his erstwhile defenders have gone silent.
Some of his most ardent defenders, however, are speaking louder than ever. Fox News host Jeanine Pirro is certainly no exception.
In an appearance on The View, she accused Whoopi Goldberg of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and got booted from the table.
Jeanine Pirro has seemingly staked her entire career on Donald Trump being, not only not a traitor and Russian asset, but a good President.
Despite what many consider to be overwhelming evidence to the contrary, she argues before The View hosts that the investigation into Russian espionage and cyber crimes during the 2016 election season was made in bad faith.
Pirro, who ran against Hillary Clinton for Senate seat before dropping out to accept a nomination for New York Attorney General (a race which she lost), wrote a book, alleging a massive conspiracy against Trump.
Among other things, she seems to suggest that the Deep State, which the United States does not have, not only exists, but is working to undermine the President.
Things became heated when Pirro suggested that any crimes committed by undocumented immigrants justified the Trump Administration"s human rights violations against immigrants — including lawful asylum seekers.
A contentious debate became more heated when Pirro accused Whoopi of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
"I"m tired," Whoopi explains. "Of people starting conversations with "Mexicans are liars and rapists.""
We"ve seen so many interviews in which pleasant-faced people look into the camera and repeat those same racist, xenophobic lies.
"I"m tired of starting a conversation about this country — listen, I"m 62 years old," Whoopi says, changing gears.
"There have been a lot of people in office that I didn"t agree with," Whoopi says. "But I have never, ever seen anything like this."
Many people, including those who have lived much longer than Whoopi, struggle to recall a President whose behavior mirrored Donald Trump"s.
"I"ve never seen anybody whip up such hate. I"ve never seen anybody be so dismissive," Whoopi says.
Taking issue with the Trump Derangement Syndrome remark, Whoopi says: "And clearly you don"t watch this show. You don"t know that I suffer from that."
Whoopi explains that "what I suffer from is the inability to figure out how to fix this. That"s my issue."
The unpleasantness continues, and Whoopi says: "Say goodbye, goodbye. I"m done"
After the break, Pirro is nowhere in sight.
Whoopi Goldberg then addresses the audience, to explain why she was so passionate.
"So you saw me do something that I very rarely do, I very rarely lose my cool and I"m not proud of it," Whoopi says. "I don"t like it."
No one likes losing their cool. But it is very understandable that such an important issue makes people feel passionate.
"But I also don"t like being accused of being hysterical because that"s one of the things I try not to be on this show."
It is worth noting that Jeanine Pirro was seated beside longtime Republican Ana Navarro, who has become one of Donald Trump"s fiercest critics.
There"s a very special phenomenon when people say and do horrible things and then act as if those who are upset about them are being unreasonable.
When they do this, they portray themselves as the reasonable ones because they remained calm, suggesting that the other is unbalanced.
It is important for us to remember as we hear these arguments that it is normal — and even healthy — to become impassioned when speaking about human rights abuses, bigotry, and treason.
That"s not "Trump Derangement Syndrome." There"s no such thing.
Besides, Jeanine Pirro grew hot under the collar herself.
Judge Jeanine Pirro Slams Whoopi and "The View" for Mistreating Her
Judge Jeanine Pirro doesn’t say she regrets going on “The View” — even though it ended in a shouting match — but it doesn’t seem like she’s in a hurry to go back either. We got the Fox News star in NYC Thursday and asked about her highly…

Derick Dillard: The View is BULLYING Me For Being Christian!
Recently, Derick Dillard went on a homophobic rant about one of TLC"s home improvement shows that features a gay couple and their family.
His controversial remarks were discussed so much that they were addressed on The View, which you can see in the video below.
Now, Derick is responding … and accusing the talk show hosts of bullying him.
Derick Dillard is known for his trolling tweets and sometimes comes across as desperate for attention now that he and Jill are no longer on Counting On.
This time, instead of bashing trans reality star Jazz Jennings, he is taking aim at Nate & Jeremiah By Design, a home improvement show on TLC.
"What a travesty of family. It’s sad how blatant the liberal agenda is, such that it both highlights and celebrates a lifestyle so degrading to children on public television as if it should be normal."
Hard to see how a child being in a loving home is degrading.
"They affect this poor child, as well as what perversions are celebrated. If it were adultery, I doubt a network would be so quick to focus on the reality of it as if it were ok."
Equating same-sex marriage to adultery is, of course, quite a reach.
But he says that he"s not being hateful.
"I’m not bashing the people, I’m just calling out the public agenda at play and how a network chooses what they highlight. Christians should love all as Christ loved all. Take advantage of capitalism: boycott what you don’t believe in, but don’t boycott relationships."
So he"s not being hateful … but he doesn"t think that these people should be on television because they"re gay parents.
Whoopi speaks up first, saying:
"You don"t have to agree with anybody"s lifestyle. But you don"t live in their house. Just like we don"t live in a house where there are 900 kids."
Basically, she"s saying that Derick doesn"t have much room to talk about unusual lifestyles, giving the family into which he married.
Sara Haines chimes in, saying:
"Some of my idols as parents are gay." She provides an example of a gay couple and their child (and adorable bulldog).
Sunny Hostin then says that she thinks that stances like Derick"s come from "people that lack empathy."
She also says that "people that haven"t been around gay couples."
One by one, each of the hosts on The View talks about same-sex parents, from personal anecdotes and from statistics, being healthy and loving.
Derick responded to this, decrying the segment as bullying:
"Really?! Are my friends on The View really going to be our standard & champion for open-mindedness?"
One, they"re not your friends, dude. Two, they"re not the standard, but they are meeting the minimum requirements for human decency.
"Conviction doesn’t equal lack of open mindedness."
That is technically true.
"We need to love all people & promote what’s best for everyone."
See, Derick isn"t a kill-all-gay-people sort of bigot, he"s a all-gay-people-should-just-not-be-gay bigot. He believes that his views are compassionate.
"Most Americans believe this, but are fearful of bullying like this."
If he"s saying that most Americans oppose marriage equality, that is false. Just under two-thirds of Americans support same-sex marriage.
And then, of course, there"s his accusation that what these hosts have to say is bullying.
First of all, they don"t really seem to talk about Derick enough for this to qualify as bullying.
As you"ll see in the clip below, they mostly talk about same-sex couples who are parents whom they know and love.
Meghan McCain shares that her mother came around on marriage equality when she realized that so many children could be adopted into loving homes.
They also talk about how, for both adults and for children, knowing families with same-sex parents makes it clear that the sort of gay bogeyman that anti-gay activists describe doesn"t at all match up with the real thing.
Derick does say that he has been exposed to people who aren"t like him, tweeting:
"I have friends who are homosexual and was in public school for 17 years, including university band, fraternity life, and spirit squad. I think I’ve more than opened my mind and eyes to experience all kinds of people very different than myself."
That"s … sad.
But we have to remember that Derick Dillard comes from the far-right fringes of American Christianity.
We don"t doubt that, among the people with whom he associates, the majority do oppose marriage equality and same-sex parents adopting and a host of other things.
There is a narrative among extreme conservatives that Christianity is being oppressed in the United States, even though Christians are of course the majority.
The narrative has been very popular recently among conservative politicians, who believe that Trump and politicians like him are "hitting back" at their oppressors.
It is also a popular narrative with Derick and those who support his less-than-kind tweets.
Watch this video for yourself and decide if this is bullying … or some heartfelt discussion of a topic near and dear to the hearts of the hosts.

Tamar Braxton Opens Up on The View: WTH Happened with Vince?
Tamar Braxton kept it real this week on The View.
The former talk show host and recording artist took the unusual step of serving as a guest panelist on the program, touching not only on her failed marriage in the process…
… but doing it with her estranged husband sitting right along side her!
As a quick refresher, Braxton and Vince Hebert called it quits in October after nine years as husband and wife.
About two months later, rumors surfaced that Hebert has knocked up his mistress, something Braxton herself appeared to cite on Instagram when she said Hebert was "having a baby" with his "whore."
Pretty hard to misinterpret that, right?
Except that Tamar said on The View that this wasn"t the case.
"In this situation, I absolutely have no reason to lie about my marriage for ratings," she told her fellow hosts early on, adding:
"I think that"s disgusting and I would never sell my soul to the devil like that."
Well, okay.
But what about that "a bun in the oven of some other woman," as Joy Behar asked Vince himself.
"Absolutely not," he replied.
"And all the other allegations are not true, I"m just not that kind of person. I love this lady with all my heart. I will never stop fighting with my family and make it great."
Then… what about everything Braxton wrote on social media (below)?
What the heck was that about?!?
"Let me just address the meltdown," she replied, expounding as follows:
"That was my fault that I put myself in a position where I opened up the floor for people to give their opinions on my marriage and I have to take responsibility for that.
"I do air my dirty laundry, however I"ve never been that specific. I should have been specific enough to say this is what my so-called friends were saying."
If you"re confused by all of this… you are not alone.
Watch the video below to try and decipher what Tamar and Vince are saying:

Mike Pence Feuds with Joy Behar: I Want The View Canceled!
Between this and the way that Mike Pence feuded with openly gay Olympian Adam Rippon, some can"t help but wonder if Mike Pence is gearing up for a run of his own in 2020.
This time, the Vice President is feuding with The View host Joy Behar after she, based upon Omarosa"s description of him, suggested that he might have mental illness. You can see that video in its full context, below.
Mike Pence says that a criticism of him is a criticism of all Christians.
One could argue that this whole thing — Pence and Trump and the current state of US politics — started with Reagan or Falwell decades ago, but this immediate feud? That started with Omarosa Manigault.
Omarosa, being about as qualified to work in the White House as your average Trump Team member — meaning that she was someone he"d met — is no longer working in the Trump White House. In fact, she says that she is "haunted" by Trump"s tweets.
Welcome to the club, Omarosa.
After being booted from the White House, Omarosa returned to more familiar territory by joining the cast of Celebrity Big Brother.
On the show, speaking about Mike Pence, Omarosa said:
"As bad as you think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence — everyone that is wishing for impeachment might want to reconsider their life."
She continues, saying: "I am Christian. I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things"
While that"s no surprise to anyone who"s even heard of Mike Pence, it became quite the topic of conversation. Including on The View.
As you"ll see in the video below in its full context, Joy Behar commented:
"It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s called mental illness, if I’m [correct], hearing voices."
They discussed it on the view, and it was correctly pointed out that descriptions of religious experiences often include communication in both directions.
That"s not the same thing as auditory hallucinations.
Mike Pence apparently concluded that it was totally appropriate for him to fire back at the The View host for her remarks.
Speaking on C-SPAN, Pence said: "My faith sustains me in all that I do."
Pence said that Behar"s statement was an insult to the "vast majority of the American people who cherish faith."
About 70% of the US population is Christian, of one denomination or another. It is unclear if Mike Pence is including other Americans of faith in his statement.
"It demonstrates how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people that you could have a major network like ABC permit a forum for invective against religion like that."
To be clear, it didn"t really sound like Joy Behar was bashing religion in general. As one can see below, she acknowledges that that prayer and "talking to God" are pretty standard fare for Christians.
What gives her pause is the idea that Mike Pence believes that he is speaking and acting on instructions from his God. Plenty of people through history have felt that way.
Some of them, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, have made great strides in defending human rights.
Others have been … absolute monsters.
It"s good for someone to believe that they"re living well and in accordance with their faith. Some worry about someone who believes that their divine blessing calls them to do terrible things in the name of their religion, however.
Omarosa"s statement wasn"t the first that people have heard about Mike Pence"s worrisome beliefs.
For one thing, the state of Indiana shouted warnings about Pence during the 2016 election cycle.
For another, Donald Trump himself has "joked" that Mike Pence would like to see all gay people hang. Whether Trump meant that literally or not, most people don"t see that as any laughing matter.
As for Omarosa"s warning that Pence would somehow be even worse than Trump, it"s not just that it"s a hard concept to grasp for most Americans — most of those who hope for impeachment, removal from office, and arrest also hope that Pence gets the same.
Many believe that Mike Pence was complicit in the various horrors that may lead to Trump"s impeachment. Only time will tell.
In the mean time, watch this video for yourself and decide if Joy Behar went too far or if she was just a talk show host being a talk show host.

Meghan McCain vs. Ana Navarro: It Got Ugly on The View!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
It was very much on Monday between Meghan McCain and Ana Navarro, as the latter made a guest appearance on The View and the former disagreed with her vehemently on the topic of immigration.
Without getting too deeply into the political weeds, this is a subject on the minds of many Americans these days.
In March, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is set to expire, which would leave 800,000 immigrants open to deportation.
These immigrants came here legally as children and have essentially known no other native country except for the United States.
They are documented and they pay taxes and lawmakers on both side of the aisle have said they wish to extend the program in order to protect the status of DACA recipients.
Alas, no legislation to do so has been passed.
And the Senate just approved a government funding bill that did NOT address this pressing matter.
That’s the backdrop for the heated argument that took place yesterday between McCain and Navarro.
Following a three-day shutdown, McCain argued that the Democrats were in the wrong for trying attach a DACA bill to a funding bill.
“It is not intellectually honest to say this is completely [Donald] Trump’s fault,” she said, explaining her side as follows:
“Democrats are playing partisan politics in the exact same way. DACA is a very emotional issue, I agree with you Ana, this should be an easy layup on both sides because of how popular it is.
But to sit here and say that this government shutdown has anything to do with my or the Republican party’s love for the troops is just intellectually dishonest.”
The panelists had previously gone back and forth about how military would not be paid for work during the shutdown.
“You have another month to figure out DACA in March,” McCain continued, attacking Navarro for referring to herself as a Republican.
And it was this remark that really set Navarro off.
“I’m a Hispanic immigrant Latina,” she said, elaborating on why this issue is so personal to her.
“I was brought to this country when I was 8 years old. My parents fled communism and it was not my decision to come here.
“Had my parents not had visas, had my parents not had the resources to hire lawyers, I would be a Dreamer kid too. That’s why it’s personal.”
As you can see above, Twitter users were watching the exchange play out in real time.
And they had plenty to say about it.
McCain, however, mostly just said the same thing.
She wants to see the DACA recipients stay in America, she just believes that issue is unrelated to any funding of the government.
“It is attached to a spending bill. We have another month to figure this out,” she emphasized, adding:
“It is partisan politics and government obstructionism at the very worst.
“By the way, my father and Lindsey Graham, also your very good friends, have been at the forefront of DACA.
“Please don’t insinuate to me that I’m not on the side of DACA!”
With that, the program went to commercial.
When it returned, McCain remained nearly silent for two full segments.
And opinion on social media really did seem divided over just who won this debate.
On the pro-McCain side:
#TheView Meghan McCain is a good addition to The View. Her perspective as a conservative is very much needed for a healthy debate. She’s very serious & committed to her beliefs & references facts when she makes statements.
On the pro-Navarro side:
Ana is brilliant – the way she took down Meghan was superb – producers need to make Ana permanent and also fire Meghan because she’s so so unlikable and just rude #TheView.
And so here is the question: On whose side do YOU fall?

The View: Meghan McCain Lands Co-Hosting Gig!
With Jedidiah Bila departing The View, there has been one name popping up left, right and center about who could be replacing her on the ABC talk show.
That name is Meghan McCain, and according to Variety, she has accepted a regular co-hosting gig on the show. Her first episode is scheduled to air in October.
She will join Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Paula Faris, and Sunny Hostin on the popular series.
According to the report, Meghan was the top choice because the show was looking for a young conservative voice. McCain’s casting could make for buzzier stories that get people talking.
More of the same is not good, so it was always a given that someone would be hired with different political views. The show may revolve around women chatting about topical matters, but viewers likely tune in for some debates.
Isn’t it great when people are on live TV chatting about their differing opinions? We sure hope Meghan is a worthy addition to the team because she’s going to have to hold her own.
McCain is the daughter of U.S. Senator and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain and has been very open about her political views in the past.
The cast for the view has been changing a lot over the last few years. The show has had the likes of Raven Symone, Nicolle Wallace, Rosie Perez, Michelle Collins, and Candace Cameron Bure, but none of them have had much in the way of staying power.
Barbara Walters retired in 2014, and there’s been something missing from the show ever since. Walters was always the one who was on tap with fresh and exciting comments about current events, and that’s part of what made the show an early success.
With the show experiencing multi-year highs in the ratings of late, could it climb higher with the addition of McCain? We have no idea, but it’s sure fun to speculate.
McCain has previously appeared on Fox News’ Outnumbered and Pivot’s TakePart Live, so she definitely has the experience to join the ranks of The View!
What do you think about this decision?
Sound off below!

The View SHOCKER: Who"s Out Now?!?
In what feels like a monthly tradition, yet another panelist is leaving The View.
On Monday morning, Jedediah Bila announced that she isn’t just saying goodbye to the daily talk show…
…she was saying goodbye right then and right there!
“So, this is my last day at ‘The View’ and I want to thank these ladies,” Bila said to open the program, adding her heartfelt praise for everyone around her:
“What you don’t know about us, these ladies, we’re friends. Sunny’s tests, Sara, Whoopi you’re my inspiration, Joy when I need comedic relief, this is where I go.
“So we’re going to be friends no matter what.
“I want to thank you because I’m a little eccentric and you put up with me and this has been an amazing journey and I appreciate all of you.”
Bila, who often appeared as a guest host throughout Season 19, joined The View as a regular cast member for Season 20.
“I want to thank the viewers, even the ones that write me the hate tweets,” Bila added. “This is what I’m here for, I’m there to shake things up.”
It’s true.
The View is almost always composed of liberal leaning co-hosts, with one conservative voice included among the group.
This is why Meghan McCain is reportedly in contention to fill Billa’s spot.
Bila told viewers on air that she’s got “some good stuff on the way,” including a new book from Harper Collins and a wedding.
“This has been a really great experience,” she emphasized.
“Mostly I want to speak to the viewers, we are nothing without you.
“We are able to do what we do because you invite us into your homes… this isn’t about me, this isn’t about us, it’s about a conversation, it’s about serious issues and it’s about the fact that you care enough to hear what we have to say and that I appreciate more than any executive or any position I can ever hold.
“I appreciate the fact that you give me the time of day and a presence to make my voice heard.
“I hope you’ll join me in all my future endeavors, wherever they are, and I’m excited.”
“We rarely agree on anything, but I am honored to call you friend,” Sunny Hostin said.
Added Joy Behar:
“It’s great to have you here, we need to have somebody who disagrees. It’s never been personal and that has been good for the show.”
The View, of course, seems to lose a panelist at least once a year.
Candace Cameron, for example, bid farewell in December, about six weeks after Raven-Symone also resigned.
Will you miss Jedediah Bila on The View?
Or did you not have any idea who Jedediah Bila was until you read this article?
UPDATE: The View producers have released the following statement regarding Bila…
She’s been a spirited voice at the table over the past year, asking smart questions and challenging us all to think. We want to thank Jed very much for all of her contributions and wish her great success with the next step in her career.
She will always be part of The View family, and we’ll welcome her back to talk about her new projects.
Please join us in thanking Jed for her hard work, her dedication and her voice at the table.

Chris Brown-Soulja Boy Fight: Actually Coming to Pay Per View?!
The social media fight between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy has apparently escalated to the point where a physical fight may really come to fruition.
According to multiple reports, the two stars will throw down … on pay per view, in a boxing match with the involvement of Floyd Mayweather.
The theoretical three-round bout in which both have threatened to f–k the other up is happening, for real, thanks to Mayweather’s company.
Soulja Boy hinted at Mayweather’s involvement earlier this week, and recently put up a post promoting the fight on Instagram (of course):
“It’s going down! Signed my contract.”
Soulja says Mayweather himself is training him for the fight, set to take place in March in Las Vegas; CB also said that the fight is on.
The feud between the artists – which now seems suspiciously fake – all stems from Soulja liking an Instagram picture of Karrueche Tran.
When Brown saw that Soulja dared to like a photo shared by his former girlfriend, dude apparently went all psycho stalker on the rapper.
These words were exchanged:
For a guy who beat his previous girlfriend, Rihanna, within an inch of her life, you’d think he would try to avoid coming across as a psychopath.
Then again, this is Chris Brown.
“Chris brown just called and said he wanna fight me,” Soulja said on Twitter, claiming Chris threatened him over his behavior on Insta.
The “Crank Dat” rapper also laid into Chris for beating up Rihanna ages ago, while taunting him by saying “Karrueche don’t want you n–ga!”
He threatened to “beat the f–k out” Brown if he ever returned to the ‘hood, while Chris responded that “we both know” how that would go.
Soulja accused Chris of being a deranged lunatic who snorts coke with gangbangers, while Brown asserted that his rival is a snitch.
Breezy also grew annoyed with Soulja for allegedly trying to FaceTime him while he was in the process of trying to get laid. Seriously:
At some point during the back and forth, Floyd Mayweather himself got involved, which makes us suspicious as to how real this all is.
Fake or not, the Money Man is on Team Soulja.
“Signed my contract I’m leaving the fight with $ 1,000,000 I got the best ever my big bro @floydmayweather training me damn—–,” he wrote.
“#TMT #SODMG March in Vegas !! On TV!”
Soulja posted a picture of him and the boxing legend, as well as a video in which he continued to talk trash about his fight against Brown.
“Me and my trainer/big brother @floydmayweather #TMT it’s official!!,” reads his caption, before Soulja brought Chris’ daughter into it.
Yes, Chris’ ex-girlfriend and his baby mama, Nia Guzman, are now involved with this, along with his two-year-old child, Royalty …
Guzman posted a picture of their daughter Royalty on her Instagram page, tagging Floyd Mayweather and his crew The Money Team.
While Soulja had briefly apologized for the feud at his mom’s urging (really), he reposted the pic of Royalty; Guzman has since deleted it.
Nia said the photo was harmless and that Floyd was merely “investing in Royalty’s future,” while Brown responded with harsh words (above).
The singer was quite displeased to see his little girl used as a pawn in this war of words, and told Soulja that he best knock that s–t off.
“Seriously, we gon’ set up this fight,” Brown said.
“It’s gonna be professional. You could do all that, but one thing you gotta stop doing my n—a … I’mma be real with you.”
“Stop bringing my daughter into this, my n—a.”
According to Chris, “real street n—as” know that any girls, and especially daughters, need to be respected no matter how crazy s–t gets.
Think his plea for boundaries will be respected?
Moreover, do you think this boxing match will actually take place in March, or is it all a publicity stunt that will eventually fall by the wayside?
Even if the match IS legit … was this feud?!
If they were acting this entire time, you gotta give them credit for going all in … and wonder whether Karrueche was complicit in it as well.
Either way, who would you bet your money on if and when these guys did get in the ring and settle their alleged beef once and for all?
Chris seems confident and the more safer pick for obvious reasons, but if SB is being trained by Floyd, that’s gotta count for something.

Candace Cameron Bure Says Goodbye to The View
Here’s a free idea for producers at The View:
Get rid of all doors leading out to the stage and install a turnstyle instead.
This would seem to be more appropriate, considering the constant cast changes on this morning talk show.
Just over a month after Raven-Symone announced her departure as a full-time panelist, Candace Cameron Bure has gone ahead and done the same.
Yup, it’s time for yet another farewell, viewers.
A mother of three who has been with The View for fewer than two seasons, the actress was one of the few religious and conservative voices on the series.
She referred to her leaving as a “little bittersweet” this morning when informing the audience of why she was parting ways with the program.
“It wasn’t an easy decision,” Bure explained, going into further detail as follows:
“Before I started The View, I had already had my commitments to Fuller House and my work with the Hallmark Channel…Because of the success of those, my commitments have become even greater with those shows.”
Bure was named a co-host of The View in 2015… while simultaneously filming her spinoff sitcom for Netflix.
Her View contract was renewed for Season 20 this year, yet Fuller House was also picked up for a second season. And it’s just become too much for the star to juggle.
In addition to a a serious work load, Bure also attributed her departure to having to travel between both coasts on a regular basis.
She’s not complaining. She has a great life. But that kind of thing takes its toll.
“The commute of going west coast to east coast every single week for me has been tough on me and hard for my family as well,” she said on air.
“I want to make sure that I am able to spend as much time with my children.”
So here we go again.
There’s now a spot open on The View panel once more.
Bure went on this morning to express her gratitude to the women at the helm of the team.
“I thank everybody – Whoopi [Goldberg], Joy [Behar]…for welcoming me to this table. I’ve learned so much from you and I’m so grateful for you.
“I tried to be superwoman, but I’m going to not try anymore.”
Executive Producer Candi Carter said the following via statement:
On behalf of everyone at ‘The View,’ it’s been a pleasure working with Candace, a devoted mother, talented actress, and passionate co-host who never hesitated to speak her mind.
We are thrilled for her success with ‘Fuller House’ and her Hallmark movies.
She will always be a part of ‘The View’ family and we will gladly welcome her back to the show to support her with all of her endeavors.
