Sara Haines Stuns The View Audience, Declares She’s “Not Worthy” of the Show After On-Air Blunder

Sara Haines made an unexpected confession on The View, admitting she feels unworthy of her role after a shocking mistake during a live interview. What exactly happened?
Sara Haines’ Uncensored Slip-Up Stirs Controversy
Longtime The View co-host Sara Haines found herself at the center of an unexpected moment on Tuesday’s broadcast when she accidentally let profanity slip on air—much to the dismay of the show’s producers.
The incident occurred during a discussion about Oscar-nominated actress Ariana Grande, who had recently opened up about her parents’ divorce. As Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic, Haines interrupted abruptly, catching Goldberg off guard.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t do that! You have something to tell us that we heard from someone else,” Haines said, pressing Goldberg for an announcement.
Clearly unimpressed, Goldberg revealed that she would be returning to the Oscars as a presenter on March 2, marking her first time on stage in nearly a decade.

Haines’ Profanity Shocks the Studio
As the segment wrapped up, Goldberg attempted to lighten the mood, joking, “Well, we’ll never get a divorce, will we?”
That’s when Haines leaned in and whispered a phrase that immediately caught everyone’s attention:
“If you start telling us about s—,” she muttered.

Unfortunately for Haines, the censorship team failed to mute the profanity, allowing the expletive to air live.
The immediate reaction was priceless—Goldberg’s jaw dropped in mock disbelief, while the camera quickly cut to producer Brian Teta, whose blank expression summed up the moment perfectly.
Realizing her mistake, Haines hung her head in embarrassment as the show quickly cut to a commercial break.

A Pattern of Playful Banter—But Is It Too Much?
This isn’t the first on-air blunder for Haines in recent days. Just earlier in the week, Goldberg had jokingly scolded her during The Weekend View edition, shouting:
“Get your ass down from there!”
While the lighthearted dynamic between Goldberg and Haines is a fan favorite, the repeated slip-ups have led to increased scrutiny.
In response to the mishap, Haines half-jokingly declared that she might not be cut out for the show, saying:
“Maybe I’m not worthy of being here!”
The audience laughed, but the question remains—will her unfiltered moments continue to fly under the radar, or could they lead to real consequences?

What’s Next for Sara Haines on The View?
Despite the minor controversy, Haines remains a beloved part of the panel, known for her quick wit and relatable humor.
The View continues to air weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC, but will Haines be more cautious with her words moving forward?
