Don’t Mess With Barbara Walters! Guest Brings Up Walters’ Past Affair And Gets Scolded

Video
» 65 comments

On The View, this week there are a series of “Where Are They Now?” segments featuring interviews with guests who were the subject of scandals in the past. Jessica Hahn, a woman who had a brief sexual relationship with televangelist Jim Bakker in the 1980′s, was today’s guest and may have just extended her 15 minutes of fame by rattling co-host Barbara Walters and receiving a scolding for bringing up Walters own sexual history.

Hahn did not like the description of her encounter with Bakker as an “affair,” since she claimed the relationship was not consensual. Instead, in an attempt to possibly remind Walters what an affair truly is, she suggested that the television icon refer to Walters’ own memoir Audition where she revealed an actual affair with a married senator. Walters was not pleased being dragged into the discussion and icily declared “this is about you my dear, this is not about me, ok?” The awkward moment only progressed when Walters wondered aloud “where are we now?”

    Only if Newt Gingrich, Christopher Lee and Mark sanford all apologize.

    The old slut can’t take it. LOL. Everytime anyone goes on that show they should bring up the slutty behavior of Whoopie, Behar and old Babs.

    So…Bawbwa can’t take the heat? I like how she threw in the jab “and where are we now?” Implying, that Jessica is a nothing and Walters is a big shot. Congratulations Babs, you made millions off of sleeping around, you shoule be proud of yourself. How else does a non-attractive woman with a horrible speech impediment get to where she is in a business where you at least need to be able to speak correctly, to succeed?

  • Republitarian

    And, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy (hell, it’s easier to name the Kennedys that haven’t had an affair),Gary Condit, James McGreevey, Elliot Spitzer etc, etc.

  • The Real Royal King

    This reminds me of the scene from “Reds” when the two elderly women are discussing how unsettling it is when some loony comes up to them and asks, “Do you remember that weekend we spent in Cannes?” when you’ve never seen him at all. Happens all the time.

    The headline should have read, Guest puts Walters in her place.

    That was the name of the show. She was not being condescending when she said that. FTR I hate that show.

  • espo222

    When you have an affair and you end up like Hahn, you are considered a tramp. Shouldn’t the same apply for someone who ends up rich and famous???

    I never claimed she was 70 at the time…

    Jessica Hahn has a perfect right to note a double standard.
    further, Jessica’s situation is analogous to Monica Lewinsky–a relationship of sexual nature with a high profile, relatively powerful individual, which was revealed not of her own will. yet, when Monica’s name is mentioned on The View–with the inevitable audience giggles–BW often notes that Monica is not really allowed to move on from that scandal.

    RRKING admitting . Even if I were interested in women , Miss Walters would be far too young for me .

    RRKING ® on dating . Since my former friend of 62 years took up with that flamboyant flamer BFD , he and I only see each other at the salon . So , I thought I ‘d sign up with a Super Golden Age Senior Match service on the interweb . I put down that I was a bachelor hair stylist interested in women , just to look . Well , I was matched with a female and got her picture . She was standing next to the front of a tour bus . I wrote to her and asked her if she was on the left side of the picture or on the right wearing a license plate t-shirt . Oddly , I got no reply . Mama , I tried . ©

    You’re on a desert island its just Joy, Whoopi, and Babs. (and no you don’t get Elizabeth) You have to choose one of them for some hot monkey love in order to get off the island.

  • ckw

    Interesting. An old skank now pushing 80 is the author of a tell-all bio including the story of her illicit affair with a married senator. How was Hahn to know that the subject was off limits? If one spills her guts for the whole world to read for money, it is a bit comical to see her offended when someone makes a reference to the affair. You can’t have it both ways, Babwa Wawa.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Clarify for me.
    Where you said “for” some hot monkey love,
    did you mean “or” ???

  • OxyCon

    You tell her, Baba Wawa! You’re the smart one! You know the right people to sleep with to advance your career! You’re better than Jessica Hahn!

    I remember as a young adult, wondering how the hell a weird looking lady with a crappy voice, who can’t even talk right, could get a job as a talking head on TV. Now it’s pretty obvious.

    It was YOU who called Babs a “lady” for God’s sake!

    I don’t really feel the need to say she was “whoring” … mostly because I’m not a lunatic. You’ve turned someone’s small affair from 30 years ago into “whoring” you clearly have some deep-seated issues with women.. so much so, that you’re still attacking elderly women.

    It’s pretty bizarre…. the way you talk. I mean, I hate ann coulter but I wouldn’t go around calling her a whore or something, seems sort of barbaric, illogical, and like I said, seems like you have some sort of underlying psychological problem.

    Well, dear, if Ann goes around whoring like Babs was doing with a married man, I will call her out on it.

    Sorry but its “for” some hot monkey love. Not sure where I came up with monkey love it just sounded stupid enough to go along with the thread.

    Well I wouldn’t… cause I have my own life to worry about, lol.. and wtf does having sex with someone have to do with politics anyway? I’m actually interested in real debate, you’re just an amateur, you just want to call people out about sex and bullshit not related to politics. Maybe that’s how Fox does it.. but smart people don’t want to hear who someone blew, they want to hear how to fix the ****ing economy. I suggest you get your priorities straight.

    Barbara needs to lose the holier-than-thou attitude. The guest was merely giving her own personal ‘view.’

  • http://twitter.com/SailRabbits Magister

    43 comments and no one has wondered what Glenn Beck will say on the radio tomorrow about how his “prize bunny” performed on “The View”. I don’t know if I’m disappointed or impressed.

  • treecutter

    Can the View not find anyone interesting to come on there show. I don’t think I’ve heard Jessica’s name since Howard Stern book and I didn’t care about her then.

    My father, Dave Appell , knows Barbara Walters personally and he told me she can be a 1st class bitch.

  • flagringo

    Barbara WaWa slept with quite a few on her rise up…without doing so she would not have gotten the camera face time…

  • ckw

    @snowspot
    If you are so interested in debating politics, why the h*ll are you spending so much time and and energy defending Barbara Walters? Seems that you are confusing pop culture and politics. Sheesh! …..go figure. And as for debating, judging by your comments on this thread, you are in far over your head, . Whoever told you you’re “smart” misled you. You’re a lightweight , dude.

    Walters is simply a haughty liberal media hack; I love it when she demonstrates her ‘haughtiness.’ It reminds us that they feel rules and classifications belong to other people…not them.

    The View… Seriously? The View? All that is, is a combo tabloid/reality TV shout show run by liberals anyway, no wonder it’s trash. Who cares about who slept with whom? What’s done is done. But yeah, Walters deserves to get rattled. I quite watching her garbage 2020 show after a bull crap segment that was anti-exotic pet ownership.

    Apparently a lot of you mind-in-pants commenters belong on The View. Blech. Shut up.
