For weeks, Nicolle Wallace's name has been popping in the headlines after news broke out that she was leaving ABC's talk show, "The View." While it was previously reported that Wallace has yet to decide if she'll continue as its contributor or if she totally exits the show, latest reports said she has been fired.
In the latest updates about Nicole Wallace's "The View" departure, Inquisitr revealed that the 46-year-old Republican political commentator was fired by ABC. What's more interesting is the fact that she didn't know she was fired until it was through the press.
In the fall of 2014, Nicolle Wallace joined "The View" as one of its host along with Rosie O'Donnell, Rosie Perez and Whoopi Goldberg. Unfortunately, the producers were allegedly disappointed since she wasn't avidly arguing with her co-hosts during debates. However, she never received any sort of feedback about her performance and the just knew that she was eventually fired through a Variety story.
"I had never had one note from anybody inside the entire organization during the entire season," Wallace stated. "No one said a word to me. Maybe I should have seen it coming. Not after a single show, a single Hot Topic or a single interview. It was like being invisible. But not in an unpleasant way."
Even though Wallace expressed that she doesn't feel betrayed by what had happened, she admitted it would have been better if the network informed her. She also revealed that she didn't receive any call of getting fired. Instead she was offered a contributor's role as well as to do debates and conventions but declined the offers.
"They never called me," she said. "The night [Variety's] story ran, they summoned my agent and told me they'd like to consider me for a contributor role. And they also made me an offer at ABC News to do the conventions and debates."
In her recent interview with Variety, newly-fired "The View" co-host Nicolle Wallace revealed her true sentiments about what had happened.
"I think I thought that I would learn somewhere other than Variety that I'd been fired," the former White House staffer under President George W. Bush revealed. "It shattered my naïveté about television. Listen, it's all fair. I wasn't wronged by anybody. But I was surprised to learn in the press about their decision not to bring me back."
When asked about former "Full-House" actress Candace Cameron-Bure, who could take on her role as the show's conservative expert, Nicolle Wallace said she'll be great but with a mischievous implication, Jezebel reported.
"I think she'll be great," she said. "The one thing I think that is the most important to your success is the support of executives you work for, and she has that."
While Nicolle Wallace doesn't have any bitterness or animosity regarding the television industry, the former host admitted she won't be watching "The View" much in the future, Radar Online has learned.
"I don't wish them anything but roaring success," Wallace said. "But it's sort of like a breakup. If you're dating the quarterback and then you go out with the hockey player, you just go to the hockey games. I don't think I'll still go the football games."
