Officials have denied rumours that Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar have rowed on the set of The View.
It was reported in the Chicago Sun-Times that the pair were not on speaking terms after a heated debate on the presidential election escalated on the ABC talkshow.
A source said the pair's rift "has gotten so ugly, they only speak on air or when a camera is anywhere in their vicinity".
Hasselbeck, who has conservative political views, allegedly felt hurt after Behar did a "vicious impression" of her interview with Republican vice-president candidate Sarah Palin.
A show representative denied the story, telling Us magazine: "These fabricated rumours about alleged dissension between Elisabeth and Joy are as untrue today as they were yesterday, a week ago and when the rumour[s] first started."
