The View producers use subtle trick to encourage feud between Whoopi Goldberg and co-hosts, body language expert reveals.

PRODUCERS on The View use a subtle trick to encourage feuds between Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts, according to one body-language expert.

Patti Wood pointed specifically to one recent battle on the daytime talk show between Whoopi and guest co-host Tara Setmayer when exclusively speaking to The Sun about the secret trick.

Whoopi Goldberg went head-to-head with a guest co-host.

Wood first acknowledged Whoopi’s high-volume yelling as she talked with Setmayer about gun reform.

“Whoopi continued yelling at an even higher volume level as she talked about the bullets from the gun ‘eliminating’ a child while using broad, sharp, weapon-like gestures such as chopping up and down gestures towards Tara,” Wood said.

“Tara was sliced and diced and shot out throughout this discussion.”

But Wood says what happens next is interesting because of where Whoopi and Tara are seated.

“Whoopi and Tara are [placed in] what is called ‘oppositional’ seating far across the table from one another in a way that encourages their battle-like interactions,” she said.

“They have been arguing for a while and now Joy [Behar], who is at the power seat at the center of the table, looks back-and-forth between the two of them trying to get them to calm down and calm down the discourse in general.”
