Sara Haines Opens Up About Depression and Career Struggles

The View co-host reveals personal struggles following show cancellation, unexpected pregnancy, and return to the daytime talk show.

Sara Haines, co-host of ABC's The View, opened up about her struggles with depression following the cancellation of her daytime show 'Strahan, Sara & Keke' during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Haines revealed that she was unexpectedly pregnant and suffered from major postpartum depression while trying to save the struggling show just six weeks after giving birth.
Despite the show's cancellation and her personal struggles, Haines was asked to rejoin 'The View' during the pandemic, a move she described as making her feel 'so grateful'.
Haines admitted to feeling like 'a shell of myself' upon her return to 'The View', struggling with self-imposed expectations and her own sense of invisibility.
Reflecting on her experiences, Haines acknowledged that hitting 'rock bottom' professionally led to a newfound fearlessness and resilience, which she now sees as a source of strength.
