The View has welcomed several controversial guests during Season 29. The daytime talk show is trying to expand its audience by bringing on guests from diverse political backgrounds. While the political guests sparked tense discussions, co-host Sara Haines revealed that she felt ‘violated’ by the behavior of a non-political guest. Keep reading to find out what caused her shocking “rage” meltdown earlier this week.

Sara Haines Felt ‘Violated’ By Guest On The View

In the last two months, The View has welcomed political guests Cheryl Hines, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Senator John Fetterman. While the discussion got heated at times, the hosts kept their cool. But during the episode that aired on Tuesday, November 18th, Sara Haines couldn’t take it anymore and dropped the f bomb.

Famed mentalist Oz Pearlman was the guest that day. He uses his skills as a mentalist to read people’s minds. During the segment, he had Sara Haines write down a fake ATM PIN and correctly guessed it. To her shock, he went on to guess her real ATM PIN and announced it on live television.

“What the f—k?” the shocked host blurted out. “No one knows my PIN. Why would you say it on national television!” The segment ended, and the show continued without any other issues.

But during Thursday’s episode, Joy Behar and Sara Haines talked about the shocking moment Sara’s PIN was given to the studio audience in Manhattan, New York, and viewers at home.

“He told me he would never talk about [my] real PIN number on the air, 40 minutes before, so he asked me to come up with a fake PIN number—because, of course, he wouldn’t say my real pin number,” Sara said about the mentalist.

Joy said that her co-host had a “nervous breakdown” and was in tears over the violation.

She Reveals Truth Behind Her ‘Rage’ Meltdown

Sara Haines was on the show’s Behind the Table podcast after the incident. She shared more about her “rage” meltdown and feelings of being violated.

“I’ve never felt so violated on air,” The View co-host said. She repeated that Oz Pearlman assured her before the show that he wouldn’t reveal her real PIN, but he did anyway.

“To have someone do something like that that’s so private, we hear about bank fraud and stolen identities,” Sara Haines said. She added that the mentalist never apologized. In fact, she said he was re-posting news articles about the incident.

“I don’t like someone that will sell a human violation for clickbait. He’s posting like crazy, every article about him, and he thinks it’s great,” Sara Haines said.

She added, “I’ve literally, in all my years in television, never been violated where someone lied.”

While some fans believe Sara Haines overreacted since the PIN is worthless without her bank account number and location, a lot of viewers took her side.

“What a scumbag move from that guy. He’s dangerous,” one fan wrote. A second fan added, “It was actually frightening to watch.”

The View host’s PIN was reportedly edited out of future broadcasts. Tell us how you would react in the same situation.
