I always tell you that,” turning to executive producer Brian Teta, who replied, “ABC’s American Idol?” with emphasis on ABC.
She continued saying, “Once we gave people the ability to judge other people, I think we ran amuck with it. And it’s gone out of control.”
The View host added,
“They invited the public to decide who their person was. And I feel once we did that, it began us in a cycle which we have not — did you really just do that?”
