Pleasure Behar Surprises Sara Haines With Relationship Query on The View

The View became the scene of an awkward family moment thanks to Joy Behar.

On the ABC daytime talk show Oct. 30, the comedian asked her cohost Sara Haines, whose parents were in the audience, about her romantic past while discussing the family’s appearance on the latest episode of The View: Behind the Table podcast.

“Are you going to bring up that lesbian relationship you said you had,” Joy asked, “back at Smith?”

In response, Sara, a 2000 graduate of Smith College in Massachusetts, laughed, exclaiming, “Dad, earmuffs! Earmuffs!” as fellow cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin looked on.

Sara, who has been married to Max Shifrin since 2014 and shares three children with him, then joked, “It’s a good thing my dad doesn’t always watch,” to which Whoopi responded, “Now he will.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Joy and Sara for comment on the exchange, which has gone viral, and has not heard back.
