LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There is never a dull moment on ‘The View’ when Whoopi Goldberg is on the panel. The 67-year-old surely knows how to keep viewers entertained with her fiery and controversial remarks about the diverse topics discussed on the show. Recently, the producer of the show, Brian Teta, faced Whoopi’s wrath when he thought of interrupting her midway into her scandalous “pool sex” story.

In one of the recent episodes of ‘The View’, the panelists were discussing a steamy topic and to no surprise, Whoopi was over the top with her excitement as she tried to be the first one a juicy story. She started detailing the difficulties of having sex in a pool which later made co-host Joy Behar uncomfortable. However, when Alyssa Farah Griffin warned Whoopi that Brian may send the show into commercial due to her NSFW remarks, Whoopi stared at the producer and went, “Oh, you're trying to move me on now, right?”

What is Whoopi Goldberg’s ‘pool sex’ story?

Whoopi started by referring to a Washington Post article about how couples find it harder to be intimate while on vacation. The actress didn’t like it and then ripped up her notecard to show her disagreement with the findings. Just a moment later, co-host Alyssa shared percentages from the study calculating how many people fantasize about having sex in various public places. This prompted Whoopi to share a seemingly personal story about the difficulties of having sex in a pool.

Whoopi said, "If you tried to have sex in the pool, you know that's not easy." Co-host Joy asked Whoopi to elaborate on her comment, but viewers got more than they bargained for. Whoopi went on and said, "Because you’re trying to go up the hill and you’re getting resistance from the water that is within," Whoopi used hand gestures to explain her point. Her fellow panelists looked stunned and didn't know how to respond to Whoopi's story as the audience giggled. Joy eventually replied, "Okay," while rolling her eyes.

Why did Whoopi Goldberg snap at Brian, the producer?

Whoopi’s story was completely NSFW. However, that didn’t stop the 67-year-old actress from completing her thought. She continued, "Because when you're in the pool, you're surrounded in the water. Have you ever tried to put anything..." ‘The View’ host went on before Joy warned her, "Watch it now!” It was then Alyssa who stood tall and told her co-host, "Brian [Teta]'s going to send us to commercial," while looking at the show's producer who was just off stage. Whoopi then immediately looked at Brian and gave him a piece of her mind for trying to cut to a commercial break.

"Oh, you're trying to move me on now, right?" she said as the camera panned to Brian who had his head in his hands. "You tell me, 'Get engaged in the conversation.' Then I start to get engaged, and you want me to stop talking," Whoopi complained. ‘The View’ host tried to move on to another topic but was cut off as music began to play, signaling a commercial break.
