Mark Wahlberg Kicked Off The View After Fiery Showdown With Joy Behar

Daytime TV audiences expect a little tension on The View, but nobody anticipated the explosive clash between Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg and outspoken host Joy Behar — a verbal battle so heated that producers allegedly ordered Wahlberg off the set mid-show.

The Interview That Went Sideways

Mark was invited on The View to promote his latest movie, but from the start, the energy between him and Joy was tense. Sources in the studio say Joy opened with pointed questions about Mark’s controversial past — including his early legal troubles — instead of sticking to the film.

Wahlberg reportedly tried to keep his cool, joking:

“I thought we were here to talk about my movie, not my rap sheet.”

But Joy didn’t back down.

The Moment It Boiled Over

The real blow-up came when Joy pressed him about his political views and his recent comments on Hollywood’s “woke culture.” Mark, visibly annoyed, shot back:

“You’re twisting my words to fit your agenda. That’s not journalism — that’s gossip with lighting.”

The audience gasped. Joy, unfazed, told him he should be “grateful” the show was giving him a platform at all.

That’s when Mark reportedly leaned forward and said:

“If this is your idea of a platform, I’ll take the elevator out of here right now.”

Producers Pull the Plug

According to witnesses, the backstage crew scrambled as the exchange grew more personal. When Mark removed his mic during a commercial break, producers decided to end his segment entirely. By the time the show returned, his seat was empty and Joy simply said, “We’ll be right back after this.”

Backlash & Support Flood Social Media

Clips from the confrontation leaked online within hours, sending Twitter into meltdown. Fans of Wahlberg praised him for standing up to what they saw as Joy’s “bullying,” while others claimed he “couldn’t handle tough questions.”

One crew member allegedly summed it up best:

“It was like watching two heavyweight fighters in a ring — but neither was willing to throw in the towel until the producers stepped in.”
