Yikes! The ladies of “The View” may want to close their ears for this one. Garcelle Beauvais opened up about a failed attempt to land a seat on the talk show in her book, “Love Me As I Am” — yes, the one Erika Girardi threw in the trash — and revealed how she didn’t get along with the ladies. “I was shocked and appalled to see how testy Whoopi was with the show’s producers. I was embarrassed and disappointed, to say the least. It was cringeworthy!” Beauvais wrote, claiming she wasn’t welcomed with open arms and there were “no greetings or welcoming niceties.” The reality star also accused Rosie Perez of kicking her under the table to stop her talking, and claimed, “The energy was cold, unfriendly and standoffish. The atmosphere was so opposite to my friendly nature and definitely not what I had expected or hoped for.”
It sounds like Beauvais has moved on, though. She told Page Six, “I love what [‘The View’ does]. I think they’re smart, and I love the cast, especially now. I think Sunny [Hostin]’s great,” adding she’s cleared the air with Goldberg too.
Beauvais got pretty candid in the book, including talking about her relationship with her father and her divorces. “The book is my journey,” she told BET. “You can laugh with me. You can cry with me; you can probably even connect. The book shares a little piece of me, and hopefully, it inspires others.”
