Barbara Walters’ friend Lisa Ling says late TV icon was muscled out of her seat on The View : INTERNEWSCAST

The late Barbara Walters was muscled out of her seat on The View – the show she created – in 2014, according to her friend Lisa Ling.

Ling, 49, speaking with The Cut Monday, said that Walters – who died at 93 this past December – made the revelation to her on her last day filming the ABC chat roundtable in 2014.

Ling, who is currently a reporter for CNN, told the outlet that she had ‘never shared this [information] with anyone.’

Ling said that on the last day of filming, she said to Walters off-camera of her looming retirement, ‘Barbara, in a couple of months, are you going to be lounging in a hammock in Tahiti?’

Ling said Walters responded to her in a whisper, ‘They’re making me quit.’
