Former The View host Sherri Shepherd has revealed the salaries she and her co-workers made during her first days on the show.

“They didn’t want to give me no money,” Shepherd, who joined the ABC talk show in 2007, told Vulture. “They had offered me $400,000.”

Shepherd says Rosie O’Donnell revealed how much each of the panelists were making so she could advocate for herself.

O’Donnell told her that she made $2 million at the time, Shepherd told the site. She added that O’Donnell then told her, “Joy makes $500,000, Elisabeth Hasselbeck makes $500,000, so you need to ask for $2 million.”

“I eventually made a million, too,” she explained. “I always will credit Rosie O’Donnell for being free with that.”

The Daily Beast has reached out to a representative for The View for comment.
