Breaking silence on breaking wind.
Sunny Hostin admitted that Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t too thrilled when her co-host claimed she passed the most gas on “The View.”
“She didn’t like it,” Hostin said of Goldberg’s reaction, when asked about it during Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.”
The talk show host claimed that she and the other women recently got coasters for their mugs on set.
Before that, she alleged that the mugs would make a farting-esque noise whenever they moved –which is what viewers were hearing.
“And so Whoopi, in an effort to kind of cover that up, we have coasters now, was like, ‘Sorry y’all. That was me,’ and I just took her at her word,” Hostin, 54, explained.
Hostin previously named Goldberg, 67, the co-anchor who “actually passes the most gas on set” during an episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on April 27.
=Goldberg later confronted Hostin for ripping into her letting it rip.
“It just turned into this big thing and so Whoopi said, ‘Why did you tell everybody I fart all the time?’ and I was like, ‘Because you joke about farting all the time and I’m across from the table.’
“I can’t smell it! Whoever smelt it dealt it, so I just had no idea. She said, ‘Thanks a lot,’ but I mean, Whoopi and I are very close, so she was OK,” Hostin concluded.
Cohen apologized to Hostin for asking the stinker of a question and added that “people are just ready to pounce on everything.”
Eagle-eyed “View” fans have noticed several fart sounds over the last few months, and after one particularly loud noise went viral, the women addressed what everyone else was thinking.
“Let’s put that rumor to rest – that sound that you hear, that’s a cup, OK?” Joy Behar said on a March 21 show.
Goldberg – who just one week earlier claimed the similar noise was her own “gas” – added, “Yes, because, we get blamed for dropping gas, when in fact it’s a cup.”
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET.
