Joy Behar’s On-Air Bombshell Leaves Sara Haines Stunned
A shocking moment on The View has put co-hosts Sara Haines and Joy Behar at odds, with Haines feeling blindsided after Behar revealed a deeply personal detail from her past—right in front of her parents.
The awkward exchange unfolded during Wednesday’s episode when Whoopi Goldberg introduced Haines’ parents, who were sitting in the audience. What was meant to be a lighthearted moment quickly took an unexpected turn when Behar, 82, dropped a bombshell on live television.
“I have to ask her a question—are you going to bring up that lesbian relationship you said you had or not?” Behar asked bluntly. “Back at Smith [College]!”

Haines Left Red-Faced as Parents React
The 47-year-old co-host was visibly caught off guard, laughing nervously as the camera panned to her parents, who looked less than amused by the revelation.
“Dad, earmuffs!” Haines joked, clearly embarrassed.
Meanwhile, the rest of The View panel appeared just as shocked by Behar’s question. Alyssa Farah Griffin immediately called out Behar, revealing that Haines had shared that information in private.
“That was off air she told us that,” Griffin pointed out, while Sunny Hostin added, “Well, now it’s on air.”
Despite the tense moment, Haines attempted to laugh it off, joking that it was “a good thing” her father “doesn’t always watch” the show.
“Now he will!” Goldberg quipped.

Did Behar Take It Too Far?
Following the uncomfortable on-air moment, Haines later appeared on The View’s “Behind the Table” podcast, where she spoke about her childhood and career alongside her parents. However, the topic of her past relationship was never mentioned again.
Haines has never publicly spoken about her past romantic experiences with women, but she has shared details about her dating history, revealing that she had three serious relationships before meeting her husband, Max Shifrin.
Haines and Shifrin first connected in 2012 after she created a dating profile on OkCupid as part of a segment for Good Morning America. The couple married two years later and now share three children: Richard (8), Sandra (6), and Caleb (5).
Will This Be the End of Haines and Behar’s Friendship?
Although Haines played it off with humor, sources close to The View suggest that she was deeply upset about Behar’s decision to put her private life on blast—especially in front of her family.
Could this be the breaking point for their long-standing friendship? Or will Haines and Behar be able to move past this public betrayal?
With tensions clearly running high, it remains to be seen if Haines will follow through on her threat to cut ties for good.
