LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘The View’ never fails to amaze its viewers with one of their on-air bizarre banter among hosts, especially when it comes to Whoopi Goldberg. She has snapped at her co-hosts and mocked them on live TV several times. She did it again on a recent episode of ‘The View’ as she interrupted Alyssa Farah Griffin.

On May 17, ‘The View’ hosts had a discussion about sex and relationships. The conversation started with the story of a woman who loves a man but doesn’t have sex with him. Whoopi Goldberg came up with a question, “Is sex important in a relationship?” to which hosts gave their opinions.

‘How old are you? 12?’

On Wednesday’s broadcast, ‘The View’ discussed the Hot Topic about a woman who wrote to The Washington Post that she is dating a man she loves, but they don’t have sex. Whoopi begins the conversation by saying, “There’s not passion, but there is a deep friendship”. Raising a question, she ended by asking if sex is the most important thing in a relationship.

Joy Behar started explaining that they got together six years ago and maybe her hormones changed. She added that he doesn’t have a job, so he is irresponsible with money and said that’s a turn-on. After that, Alyssa went on to explain and said, "But, I also think sex does fundamentally matter in a relationship. There has to be a baseline of attraction”. Whoopi cut off the newcomer who is a decade younger than her saying, “How old are you? 12?” Alyssa smirked and jokingly answered that she is 33. She continued and finished her story before Sara Haines shed her viewpoint on the topic.

Not Whoopi Goldberg’s first time

This is not the first time Whoopi Goldberg did something to her co-hosts on live TV. She snapped at Alyssa in one of the previous episodes after getting frustrated over her behavior. In her role as a moderator on ‘The View’, Whoopi rushed Alyssa to share her opinion during an important discussion on Monday’s broadcast. Whoopi told Alyssa, “Spit it out” but Alyssa felt conflicted and just moved along with the show by saying it was “too long” to get out at that moment.
