We Now Know Why Elisabeth Hasselbeck Vanished After The View
Nov 21 2019
Elisabeth Hasselbeck may be one of the most memorable reality TV alums and controversial talk show hosts TV has ever seen, but as of 2015, she's been keeping a rather low profile. Here are some of the moments that defined Elisabeth Hasselbeck's career, and what she's been up to since she stepped away from the television spotlight.

Snagging the opportunity to transition from reality TV as a contestant on Survivor to one of daytime's biggest talk shows is nothing to scoff at, but Hasselbeck's accomplishment was shrouded in controversy. The Survivor alum was invited to join the ladies of The View in 2003 and ended up having a decade-long run on the show, but the experience was filled with negativity.

During her time on The View, Hasselbeck regularly butted heads with co-host Rosie O'Donnell and more than once, those differences of opinion triggered yelling matches.

The most explosive moment happened on May 23rd, 2007, when O'Donnell and Hasselbeck went head-to-head over the Iraq War. O'Donnell, after being attacked in the media, insisted that Hasselbeck hadn't publicly defended her.

O'Donnell quit The View soon after that fight, and Hasselbeck couldn't seem to shake the controversy. She eventually left the show as well in 2013, when producers declined to renew her contract.

Their infamous feud has pretty much defined Hasselbeck's career. When The View celebrated its 20th birthday with a special titled The View: 20 Years in the Making, it was the infamous Hasselbeck-O'Donnell showdown that took centerstage.
