Video: Jessica Hahn and Barbara Walters Fight Over Affairs on 'The View'

By AOL TV Editors Posted Feb 23rd 2011 01:50AM

On 'The View' yesterday, Jessica Hahn brings up Barbara Walters' affair in the 1970s with married Senator Edward Brooke as a way to contrast her sexual relationship with televangelist Jim Bakker, which Hahn says was rape. But this prompts a strong reaction from Walters, who immediately shuts her down.

Hahn takes exception to Sherri Shepherd's description of her relationship with Bakker as an "affair," and tries to point out how different it was from Walters' dalliance with Brooke. "This wasn't an affair ... I don't want to be cruel or anything, but ... you had an affair with a senator and ... " Hahn started to say to Walters. Watch the video after the jump.

"This is about you, my dear," said Walters, cutting her off. "This is not about me. I'm very happy to talk about my relationships, but this is about you."

HEY VALESKAS! You call women "SKANKS" for cheating with a married man? What the hell are we gona call the cheating men? Seems like NO ONE BLAMES THE MEN EVER! Men are pigs and all cheat at one time or another if you don't know that you are an idiot!

HEY
Barb, you should be nicer to your guest. It is about you and your other stars that is what the show is about. That is why you do it because it is about you. Jessica was just pointing out, that you both liked having sex with important men. And lots and lots of people have sex, whether married or not, it really don't matter, because people have sex when they are going to have fun, so Barb you did it and so did Jessica and so did lots of other people, it is only disgusting when someone else does it anyway...
