A source close to the talk show said they are looking for fresh faces and want to get rid of Raven-Symoné in particular.

“They’ve already been eyeing someone to replace her at the table, and she’s aware,” the source told Page Six. “She wants to focus on her acting again.”

A rep for “The View” called the report “ridiculous.”

“Ratings are up,” the rep said. “We are very happy with the team we have. Raven is a great addition to the panel.” (RELATED: Rick Perry Will Vote For Trump ‘At The End Of The Day’)

Raven-Symoné became a permanent host on “The View” in June 2015, and the former Disney actress came under fire in October when she said she wouldn’t hire someone with a “black name.”

“I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea,” she said on “The View.” “It’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you.” (RELATED: Raven-Symoné’s Dad: ‘She Says Some Dumb Sh*t)
