‘The View’ host’s controversial remark about Housewives alienates audience.
Alyssa Farah Griffin Sparks Controversy with Comments on Housewives
In a recent episode of “The View,” Alyssa Farah Griffin ignited a heated discussion about traditional relationships and the role of women who choose to be housewives without children. The studio audience was quick to express their disapproval of Griffin’s views.
Griffin didn’t hold back her disdain for what she called ”slackers.” She emphasized that being a stay-at-home mom is a legitimate job that involves taking care of children. However, she made it clear that without the responsibility of raising kids, a woman who chooses to stay home must be exceptionally fit because that’s all she brings to the table.

The audience couldn’t hide their disapproval, and Griffin herself seemed to realize the shade she had thrown. Co-host Joy Behar even remarked that the audience was turning against Griffin.
Griffin argued that a woman cannot be a “whole person” if she’s solely dependent on a breadwinner and spends her days waiting at home. She suggested that if a wife doesn’t work and has no children, she should find fulfillment by working for a charity or getting involved in her community.
Later in the show, Griffin expressed her belief that fulfillment comes from working, much like co-host Joy Behar. However, Behar, who is 80 years old, jokingly snapped back, questioning why anyone would want to work forever.

Griffin attempted to redeem herself by reframing her comments on housewives in terms of financial independence. She emphasized the importance of women having their own money, as it provides them with autonomy and protection in case anything goes wrong in the relationship.
While Griffin’s comments stirred controversy, they also sparked a larger conversation about the role of women in modern society and the various paths to fulfillment.
