In a shocking turn of events, ABC has decided to part ways with Joy Behar, giving her the boot from The View. The decision came after a heated debate over whether pineapple belongs on pizza—apparently, it was the last straw for the network executives.

Sources close to the situation reveal that tensions had been rising for weeks. The final straw occurred when Behar passionately argued that pineapple on pizza was a crime against humanity. This, of course, led to an emergency meeting where ABC executives discussed the importance of pizza unity.

In a statement, ABC declared, “We appreciate Joy’s commitment to her pizza principles, but we’ve decided it’s time for a pineapple-friendly environment on The View.”

The termination came as a shock to Behar, who reportedly thought she was merely engaging in a friendly debate. “I never knew pineapple could be so divisive,” she lamented, holding a slice of pepperoni pizza with a single tear rolling down her cheek.

The network is now on the hunt for a replacement who can navigate the treacherous waters of pizza politics. Rumors are circulating that they’re considering a holographic representation of Leonardo da Vinci, known for his impartial stance on pizza toppings.

Fans of The View are divided over the decision. Some are mourning the loss of Behar, while others are celebrating the possibility of a new era of pizza diplomacy on the show.

As for Behar, she’s reportedly considering a career change to become a pizza ambassador, hoping to bridge the gap between pineapple lovers and haters. Only time will tell if her passion for pizza politics will lead her to a new slice of life outside The View.
