Joy Behar exposes Sara Haine’s ‘lesbian relationship’ on ‘The View’ – with her parents in the audience

Joy Behar shamelessly exposed Sara Haine’s former “lesbian relationship” live on “The View” while the latter’s parents were in the audience.

During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg introduced Haine’s parents, who were in the audience.

“I have to ask her a question – are you going to bring up that lesbian relationship you said you had or not?” Behar, 82, asked Haines bluntly on the air. “Back at Smith (College)!”

A shocked Haines, 47, couldn’t help but laugh as the camera panned to her parents, who appeared unimpressed by the admission.

“Dad, earmuffs!” Haines was quick to joke.

Haines and Behar’s co-hosts also seemed shocked by Behar’s question before Alyssa Farah Griffin called the comedian out.

“That was off the air, she told us,” Griffin said before Sunny Hostin pointed out, “Now it’s on the air.”

Haines seemed to laugh at the situation as she continued to joke that “it’s a good thing” her dad “doesn’t always watch” the show.

“Now he does!” Goldberg joked.

Haines went on to discuss her childhood and career with her parents in the “Behind the Table” podcast taped after the show, but they did not bring up the “lesbian” relationship storyline again.

The Emmy Award nominee has not previously discussed her “lesbian relationship,” but she has talked about having three serious relationships before her husband, Max Shifrin.

The two began dating in 2012 after Haines created a dating profile on OkCupid for a segment on “Good Morning America.”

They tied the knot two years later and share three children: sons Richard, 8, and Caleb, 5, and daughter Sandra, 6.
