Co-host Sherri Shepherd stated Thursday that she would be leaving the ABC daytime talk show, The View, after 7 years — a move that prompted another co-host, Jenny McCarthy, to announce that she would also be leaving.

 

The departure of the two adds to a growing list of exits. The Daily Beast described it as a “massacre.”

 

“It’s been seven wonderful years on The View and after careful consideration it is time for me to move on,” Shepherd said in a statement toEntertainment Tonight.
