The View recently moved into a new studio, but there’s one host who’s reportedly not happy with the space.
Whoopi Goldberg is said to be ‘furious’ with her new dressing room, which, unlike the one she had in the previous studio, does not have its own bathroom, according to Sun.
A source close to the show told the outlet that the longtime View host “refuses” to use the space.
“It’s very small and doesn’t have its own bathroom,” a source told The Sun.
DailyMail.com has reached out to a representative for Goldberg and The View for comment.

Whoopi, who has been on the show for 17 years, had grown accustomed to her more spacious dressing room at the old studio, a second source told the site.
“Whoopi had the largest dressing room, with a private bathroom with a shower and a full bath,” the source said.
The other presenter who had her own bathroom in the old studio was her long-time partner Joy Behar.
Still, Whoopi had the largest wardrobe of all the hosts.
According to the source, the locker room was large enough to accommodate all the women, as Whoopi held morning meetings there with all of the co-hosts. The room had a large table where all the women gathered.
But Whoopi has reportedly found a solution to the problem: She reportedly intends to use the locker room in her new production office, which will be moving next door to the new studio, the first source told the site.
“Whoopi is determined to use her own dressing room at her production studios, rather than using ABC’s crummy accommodations,” the first source said.
The View recently moved from the ABC Broadcast Center in New York City to its new home in midtown Manhattan.

The show’s panel currently consists of Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The upcoming 28th season will be held at the new venue after 10 years at the previous location.
Sources told The Sun the relocation was in full swing: “They are in the process of moving now, the last day on set was four days ago.”
During last week’s season finale, co-host Sunny Hostin announced the move: “After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is also the last show we’ll be doing from this studio.
“We’re sad to say goodbye, but we’re thrilled to be moving into a brand new, state-of-the-art studio downtown, and we’ll see you there in September for the season 28 premiere of The View,” she added.
On Instagram, The View shared a video of all the hosts saying goodbye to their final studio while signing their show’s logo.

The show’s hosting panel currently includes Goldberg, Behar, Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.
