The View audience fume after host Sunny compares Kim Kardashian to Raquel Welch
The View collapsed into chaos this morning after host Sunny Hostin compared Kim Kardashian to the late Raquel Welch – and even her co-hosts disagreed.
Audience members booed and viewers sent a slurry of angry Tweets after the iconic Hollywood legend, who passed away yesterday, was brought up in conversation.
The show was paying tribute to the Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C star earlier today when Sunny made the comments about "sex symbols".
Whoopi Goldberg was even forced to quickly change the subject as the environment became hostile – with the panel completely disagreeing with Sunny's statement.
Joy Behar was saying that 'there aren't any sex symbols like Raquel anymore' when Sunny chimed in to say: "Well, Kim Kardashian is." Whoopi quickly replied: "No!"
