Meghan quit the show in July 2021 after calling it a “toxic workplace.”
However, the show did not tank after she left.
In fact, The View announced on their Instagram page on Thursday that the program is the “most-watched daytime talk show” of the year.
This is the second year the show has been awarded this honor.
They captioned the post: “Thanks to our amazing viewers, #TheView is the most-watched daytime talk show for the second consecutive season, closing out our historic 25th season ranking #1 in households and total viewers among daytime network and syndicated talk shows and news programs!”
Meghan served on The View for four seasons before quitting live on air, due to fighting with her co-hosts.
She joined in October 2017.
According to Page Six, ABC begged her to stay at the show, but a source told them that she said “No, I’m done! I’m not staying anymore.”

‘SO SALTY!’
The View fans flocked to the comments of the announcement and mocked Meghan because she thought the show would tank.
“Meghan said on a podcast recently that ratings have dropped since she left. I laughed out loud because that’s obviously not true. She’s so salty my god,” wrote one fan.
Adding a clapping emoji, one viewer commented: “The ratings went up after she left.”
“She was angry, shrill, emotional, and over the top,” said another.
One commenter threw shade: “Yay… lose the negative and pick up the positive.”
When talking about the ratings, an Instagram user pointed out: “That is because MM is no longer on the show!”
“Tell the haters to sit down on the couch!” said another.
MEGHAN’S OUT!
Last July, Meghan started out the show by telling the audience that she was leaving at the end of the month for good.
“I’m just going to rip the bandaid off,” she announced.
“This was not an easy decision, it took a lot of thought and counsel and prayer and talking to my family,” Meghan said.
The former panelist called her co-stars – Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines – the “four most talented women on television” and the “best in the business.”
However, while concluding her announcement, she took a swipe at the renowned fights that the now 37-year-old had with the hosts.
“If you guys want to fight a little bit more, we’ve got four more weeks,” she quipped.
After she refused the offer by ABC to stay, they offered her a contributor role on ABC news, but she turned it down.
“She’s just had enough. She doesn’t need it anymore — she really doesn’t need it,” an insider for Page Six said.
NO WAY!
Meghan recently spoke on The Commentary Magazine Podcast and had a lot of bad things to say about the show.
She quit shortly after giving birth to her daughter Liberty, who is now one.
As she explained the culture at The View, Meghan considered how she would feel if her daughter wanted to follow in her mother’s talk show footsteps.
“If in 15 years she came to me and said to me, ‘The View wants to have me host there,’” Meghan explained, “I would lie in front of a train track before I let her go to that show.”
The Republican commentator continued: “It was a very egregious toxic work environment.”
The mom-of-one has claimed that the show was an unwelcoming environment as she returned back to work.
“I didn’t feel supported when I had my baby and I didn’t feel supported coming back, and that was ultimately it. That was why I left!”
Meghan gave birth to Liberty on September 28 2020 – the first child for both her and her husband Ben Domenech, who is also a conservative commentator.
Since she left, The View had been trying to find a conservative co-host to fill her spot and finally picked Alyssa Farah Griffin.
