bringing it up on the show yesterday. The insider shared it was just “unexpected in that moment.” While Haines realizes people at home did not get to hear her share the story last week, The Post can reveal she was in no way outed by Behar on live TV.

The insider also reiterated that Haines feels “no shame” about her past.It all went down when Whoopi Goldberg, 68, was plugging Haines’ appearance on the program’s “Behind the Table”podcast during the show’s “Hot Topics” segment, in which Behar interrupted by mentioning the lesbian relationship seemingly out of nowhere.

And here’s the kicker — Haines’ parents were in the live-studio audience.“It’s crazy, but Sara is on the podcast today with her fabulous parents, who are here with us today,” Goldberg said as the camera panned to Haines’ mom and dad in the crowd.“I have to ask her a question,” Behar interrupted. “Are you going to bring up that lesbian relationship you said you had, back at Smith [College]?”“Dad, earmuffs!

Earmuffs!” Haines responded as everyone erupted in laughter.Their “View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35, jumped in to remind Behar, “That was off-air that she told us that,” while Sunny Hostin, 56, joked, “Now it’s on-air!”“It’s a good thing my dad doesn’t always watch,” Haines stated, seemingly shrugging off Behar’s comment.There are reports that the TV veteran got a talking-to about her comments.“Joy was blasted by her cohosts and higher-ups for her on air comment about Sara Haines’ lesbian romance,” Daily Mail reported on Thursday, per a source. “She crossed the line in terms of relaying something that was told to her off-air.”However, The Post has confirmed with our insider that isn’t true.
