[@SupportTheArts-yo8ox]

Yes!!

[@javiruiz8365]

If you have ever met her in person you would be surprised! Horrible human

[@GreatGownsBeautifulGowns2018]

Me too!

[@stevenklein3195]

She was and still is the premier female journalist of all time. Paved the way for all other woman in broadcast journalism.

Barbara Walters is A TRUE Legend, Icon and Trailblazer!!!!

Omg I met her so many times at the restaurant I used to work at. Top 3 most horrible disgusting human on earth

It must be odd to have someone on to tell you about your close friend lol.

I adore my Babs. Queen, RIP ❤️

I enjoy Susan Page. Joy was excellent in this interview! She really knew Barbara!

Barbara Walters was an amazing journalist. She was a star!

None like Barbara Walters the late! Yes woww Thanks to the View! - Greetings from Saint-Martin

[@SleepyArcticBirds-ft4lb]

Barbara Walters👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@abm4238]

I loved this interview! It's so interesting to hear what Joy had to say about Barbara-she almost knows more than Susan Page lmao!

[@utubethumbsup]

LOL I noticed the same, especially on the topic of regrets.

[@hcpsdaviesrp]

She absolutely does know more, she worked with/for Babs for 16 years!

[@batgurrl]

Barbara Walters interviewed every president, except one, since Nixon I think. She had passed before President Biden. International leaders of dozens of other countries were interviewed by her. For decades she had that Oscar Night Interview which drew a huge audience. A true force to be reckoned with❤️

[@javiruiz8365]

Girl!! I met her multiple times! She was a horrible human! Glad you love her 😂😂😂

[@javiruiz8365]

She’s not even that racist just classist! She would not like you! Just speaking facts! Glad you like her

[@JacobElyachar]

I will always love Barbara Walters!! She is truly missed.

[@javiruiz8365]

Not if you actually met her in real person like I have! You would be glad

[@alexrodriguez5370]

No doubt she was a trailblazer. However, I met her 3 times and she was not pleasant. She went out of her way to make people uncomfortable. Personally, that is her legacy.

[@IM125]

I think k there comes a point when someone reaches the high high of any career and it’s almost inevitable. I think that’s why they say never meet your heroes.

[@williamgato]

I liked when she asked Mariah Carey if she was the B that Nicki Minaj was singing about in her new song 😂

[@Feellikealady99]

'Don't know. Don't know what she sang. I didn't know she sang, I thought she rapped, or whatever."

[@Feellikealady99]

This was the actual most important, groundbreaking question she asked in her whole career, let's be honest.

[@jjl6438]

😂 The intensity, the delivery and eye contact when she posed that question killed me

[@javiruiz8365]

I remember her having a house account at the restaurant I used to work at! And everyone not wanting her to be seated at there table. We would pay another server 200 dollars to take the table. Nobody wanted her!

[@jjl6438]

@@javiruiz8365why did they avoid Barbara?

[@DavidMiller-kf1ss]

Loved jessica savitch, too.❤rip.

[@MatthewsFav]

Barbara Walters is an icon like no other. She was a ground breaker for female journalists. The View was fantastic when she was on it and I don't think she would be happy with the way it is today.

[@justincastillogayray]

Now watch Jessica Hahn talk to Barbara.

[@KIMBERLEY-Q]

Barbara would be ashamed of you ladies...

Who was the first woman to make a million dollars for a work. Elizabeth Taylor or Barbara Walters?

[@wadedavid4375]

Elizabeth Taylor for Cleopatra! Barbara Walters was Paid $1 Million Dollars when she Co - Anchored on ABC Evening News with Harry Reasoner, in 1976.

[@user-ef8tr6oj9l]

Elizabeth Taylor was the first female actress to land a 20 million dollar contract.

[@nyc1929]

Et for Cleopatra,1960, they paid her 1 million

[@goldenboy366]

Barbara would roll over in her grave. Watching the View today.

[@wesstkilda]

Susan has talked about BW’s health in later years in other interviews whilst plugging the book but they didn’t go there on The View. Probably out of respect but I wonder if BW would have paid others the same courtesy if she thought it was a hot topic?

[@susieharman2539]

🥦🟦💕beautiful

[@ozvoyager]

Does the book cover Walters being a beard for the evil Roy Cohn? I guess that was rule-breaking too,

[@JordyC-rc9ij]

He was Trump’s mentor too…

[@user-vb7gv5mn7l]

Did Susan write the way she treated the young people she interviewed? She was horrible to Courtney Love Britney Ricky and others God help us.

[@BeingMe532]

Nobody talks about her sleeping around! THAT got her to the top! A selfish, unpleasant person to be around.

[@ZEREEUSLY]

Funny how they didn't bring up how much Barbara Walter's loved Trump. 😅😂😅😅

[@cynthiajones4332]

Will you go to heaven? Ever lie, steal, used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? Still think your good? According to God's law, you're guilty. Wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Jesus died for you, believe & repent.

[@susanallen6527]

It’s unfortunate that the View has strayed from Barbara Walter’s vision of the show. In my opinion the women at table ignore the elephant in the room. The ladies especially Whoopi and Sunny do not acknowledge the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their amazing philanthropic work with Invitus and a plethora of other charitable endeavors with their own money. I guarantee you that Barbara would have done one of her famous Barbara Walter’s Specials with Prince Harry and Princess Meghan by now. However, not one of the ladies currently at the table is qualified to fill Barbara’s shoes in that regard. I am extremely disappointed in the fact that they basically called the Sussexes a liar when they said that they were chased by paparazzi in New York. Additionally, Sunny doubled down by saying that there is nowhere in New York that one can be involved in a high speed chase. That was not true. So disappointing

[@user-no8xd6gj6y]

Barbara Walter’s would of HATED what the view has become it’s so one sided it’s just sad

I don't watch it. Surprise it still on. 60+ age range must keep it relevant.

Respectfully, no she wouldn't of. I think a few times Loud Barbara would have to come out, especially with letting Meghan speak but no, she'd be very proud of where the show is.

[@batgurrl]

Barbara Walters was a legend and ground breaker and made stupendous achievements for women in the media possible. She did this all with a slight physical disability, a lisp🩷

[@javiruiz8365]

Keep praising her! I remember she did not want a blk server serving her. She wanted only white people

[@javiruiz8365]

Keep celebrating her as an icon!! It’s hilarious to see as someone that has met her!!! 😂😂😂

[@outinsider]

Shame he doesn't care about even your vote, he'll still try to steal an election like he tried in 2021. Biden's no prized cow, but at most he's not an insurrectionist.

[@happycamper4483]

Farting Trump 😂

Barbara was incredibly problematic

[@teeillacurtis5207]

Too bad her legacy is being tainted by bad actors….. with the behavior of the current panel in question…I’m quite sure Ms. Walter’s has turned over in her grave … many times😩
