The US Sun can exclusively reveal that Alyssa has admitted she fears being “fired” from the series while filming the September 14 episode.
An eyewitness to the recording told the US Sun that the presenters were discussing their new mugs, which now feature their faces, while a pre-recorded interview was playing.
Alyssa said off-camera during the moment, “There’s a cup curse where if you have your face on the cup you get fired.”
Then she knocked on the table and said, “Knock on wood!”
While Alyssa seemed more comfortable with her co-hosts during her second year on the show, she was still outside of the inner circle.
The viewer claimed: “Whoopi, Sara, Joy and Sunny talked to each other during commercial breaks while Alyssa was mostly texting on her phone or talking to producers.
“She was included in the conversation at times, more often than last season.”
ALYSSA snubbed
The US Sun previously reported from the October 6, 2022 taping of the talk show that Alyssa was ignored by Whoopi, 67, Sara, 45, Sunny, 54, and Ana, 51, who stood in for Joy, 80.

An eyewitness claimed: “During the commercial breaks between Hot Topics segments, Alyssa was mostly on the phone while the other women talked to each other.
“Sunny was the only one who initiated the conversation with Alyssa, although she mostly spoke to her other co-stars.”
The source added that Whoopi, Sara and Ana stood in a circle and talked while the women waited to film an interview with guest Tamron Hall while Sunny spoke to a crew member.
Alyssa stood alone until the viewer asked her to show the audience her “sexy” heels.
The insider further claimed, “Then when they finished filming with Huma Abedin, Sunny was talking to the guest while Sara, Whoopi and Ana were chatting in their own group.
“Alyssa just stood there awkwardly, waiting for one of her co-stars to include her.”
OFF-AIR DRAMA
The US Sun also previously reported from an eyewitness at a recording in September 2022: “As the first segment went to commercial break, Sunny turned away from Alyssa while the four women turned to Whoopi as they spoke.”
“Alyssa stared at the women as they chatted, but eventually she answered the phone and chatted with her makeup artist.”
According to the insider, Alyssa did the same thing during other commercial breaks, checking her phone while her co-hosts talked.
The source added that Alyssa spoke to Sunny at times while the two women sat next to each other at the podium.
The eyewitness continued, “Whenever Alyssa spoke on air, Joy made faces and did not hide her obvious disdain for Alyssa.”
ALYSSA PREGNANT?
Also on the September 14 episode, Whoopi shockingly asked Alyssa if she was pregnant in a segment.
During “Hot Topics,” Whoopi interrupted her sentence on a political topic and asked, “Are you pregnant?”
Alyssa gasped, put her hand on her chest and said: “No! Oh my God!”
“You can’t say that when my mother-in-law is here and she’s dying for me to get pregnant!”
Alyssa then asked: “Why?” Do I look pregnant? Do I have a stomach?”
Whoopi replied, “I just got a vibe. I am so sorry.”
Alyssa shared that she is ready to get pregnant soon.
She said: “We are not blessed to be pregnant yet. My husband and I are thinking about it. We’re working on it.”
Alyssa married Justin Griffin in 2021.
