“The View” has been hit with major cost cuts, which have affected not only the hosts’ wardrobe budgets, but their pay raises.

A source told Page Six Hollywood that all the hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin — have taken pay cuts since Season 29 premiered in September 2025.

Although Goldberg, 70, is making a mid-seven-figure salary and is the highest-paid in the group, Farah Griffin, 37, can’t say the same.

An insider told the outlet that the new mom is earning a mid-six-figure salary and was even denied a big raise when she asked.

Not only that, but the women’s wardrobe budget was affected, as a source explained, “They’re all mad because they were all wearing really expensive designer clothes, and now it’s the same budget of a Wendy Williams-type show versus a marquee daytime show.

“They keep downsizing and downsizing and downsizing.”

Unfortunately, more cuts are expected as the new season is set to begin filming in September, with some wondering when enough is enough.

The show has downgraded its filming space, and the fan-favorite Halloween show will be scrapped this year.

Meanwhile, product integrations have become rare as advertisers have begun reaching out to “The View”‘s competitors.

“There are definitely tensions with ABC,” the source insisted.

A rep for “The View” did not respond to a request for comment. An ESPN and ABC rep also declined to comment.

“The View” has been on the air since August 1997. The original hosting lineup included creator Barbara Walters, Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Debbie Matenopoulos.

Other famous women have come and gone from the Disney-owned show over the years, such as Rosie O’Donnell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McCarthy, Raven-Symoné, Candace Cameron Bure, Paula Faris and Meghan McCain.

Brian Teta has been the executive producer since 2017 and also hosts the show’s companion podcast, “Behind the Table,” which launched in 2021.
