Whoopi Goldberg has been accused of cutting airtime on her The View co-host Paula Faris.

“She is adamant that the network bowed to pressure from Whoopi to get rid of Paula as part of her negotiations to return for Season 20,” reported the Daily Mail.

Goldberg posted a Twitter rant this Wednesday to clear her name.

It was initially reported that Faris’ screen time was minimized after feedback from the audience. A source to the newspaper claimed Faris allegedly blamed her co-host for the feedback.
