NO! Hell no! Manilow you DID NOT scrap this, and I'm not going to stand by and watch you spin it that way. That's bull s--t!
You demanded Hasselbeck be taken off the show so you could appear. And if she wouldn't have appeared you would have. That means you didn't scrap the appearance.
The decision was up to the View. It was not up to You. You left it in their hands. The View told you no. They made the right decision. You deflected to them, and they cooked Your goose.
Manilow, this was very low. You owe Hasselbeck and the show an appology.
I don't get this chance very often, but I think the shows producers made the right decision on this matter. Good for them.
What do you want to bet that when Elisabeth goes on maternity leave Fairy Barry makes an appearance!
