The View has recently moved to a new studio, but there is one host who is allegedly unhappy with the space.
Whoopi Goldberg is said to be ‘furious’ with her new dressing room which – unlike the one she had at the previous studio – does not have it’s own bathroom, according to The Sun.
An insider told the outlet that the longtime View host is ‘refusing’ to use the space.
‘It’s so small, and she doesn’t have her own bathroom,’ a source told The Sun.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Goldberg for comment.
The View has recently moved to a new studio, but Whoopi Goldberg is allegedly unhappy with her new dressing room
Whoopi, who has been on the show for 17 years, had gotten used to her more spacious dressing room at the previous studio, a second source told the site.
‘Whoopi had the biggest dressing room with an ensuite including a shower and full bathroom,’ the source said.
Fellow longtime co-host Joy Behar was the only other host with their own bathroom at the previous studio, the source claimed.
Still, Whoopi had the biggest dressing room out of all the hosts.
The dressing room was reportedly large enough to accommodate all the women, the source explains, as Whoopi held morning meetings with all the co-hosts in there. The room had a large table where all the women would meet at.
But Whoopi has reportedly found a solution to the issue – she allegedly intends on using the dressing room at her new production office, which will be moving next door to the new studio, the first insider told the site.
‘Whoopi is that determined to use her own dressing room at her production studios, rather than use the paltry ABC accommodations,’ the first insider said.
The View recently moved from the ABC Broadcast Center in New York City to it’s new home in downtown Manhattan.

The upcoming 28th season will take place at the new accommodations after 10 years at the prior location.
The sources told The Sun the relocation was well underway: ‘They are in the process of moving now, the last day on the set was four days ago.’
During the season finale last week, co-host Sunny Hostin announced the move: ‘After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is also the last show we’ll do from this studio.
‘We’re sad to say goodbye, but we are thrilled to be moving to a brand-new studio downtown — brand-new, state-of-the-art — and we will see you there in September for the premiere of Season 28 of The View,’ she added.
On Instagram, The View shared video of all the hosts bidding farewell to their last studio as they signed their show logo.
