Johnson & Johnson and Eggland’s Best have pulled ads from ABC’s “The View” in the wake of this week’s controversy over the daytime show’s hosts comments about nurses.



Thousands of nurses have united on social media after Miss Colorado, a fellow registered nurse, was the subject of controversial comments by two co-hosts of “The View“.

According to PEOPLE magazine, advertisers such as Johnson & Johnson and Eggland’s Best are pulling the plug from them after those comments.

The next day, while discussing the pageant, the ladies on The View mocked Johnson for the monolog, with Behar taking issue with the fact that she came up “in costume” as a nurse.

On Wednesday, Collins said on “The View” “We love nurses … we adore you, we respect you”, adding her comments got “misconstrued”.

The company Johnson & Johnson released a statement posted on Facebook saying that they value, appreciate, and respect the critical role nurses have in the healthcare system.

“There was a girl who wrote her own monologue and I was like ‘Turn the volume up, this is going be amazing-let’s listen, ‘” Collins said. “I’m used to seeing them in gowns and bathing suits”, Behar said. “It was just stupid and inattentive on my part”, Joy chimed in, referring to her previous comment about Johnson wearing a “doctor’s stethoscope”. “I was not talking about her as a nurse”. My son-in-law is a physician’s assistant, one of my nieces is a nurse, so I mean I know they wear stethoscopes, I just wasn’t paying attention.

Then Behar invited out “the dedicated professionals from NYU College of Nursing to share firsthand what these hardworking nurses do on a daily basis”. But I usually try to reserve my snarky comments for the contestants who can’t string a sentence together during the Q&A, not a woman giving a monologue about her experience treating Alzheimer’s patients.

This season’s cohosts on “The View” wasted no time offending an entire demographic with their casual and, occasionally, narrow-minded commentary.
