In a wide shot of the Hot Topics table midway through the interview with the Running Point actors, Haines playfully hit the EGOT-winning Ghost actress on the arm, seemingly nodding to a similar feeling about her colleague during Theroux’s observation about working with an “icon” like Meryl Streep<\/a> in The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a>, whom he said is “just like every other actor” in person.<\/p>\n Goldberg then exclaimed, “Ow!” and returned the slap on Haines’ arm. Haines then hit Goldberg again with the back of her hand, prompting another jab from Goldberg.<\/p>\n Whoopi Goldberg looks annoyed after slap exchange with Sara Haines on ‘The View’ The cohosts hit each other two additional times, causing enough of a distraction that Theroux actually looked over and asked, “Why are we all hitting each other?”<\/p>\n The camera cut to a close-up of Goldberg, who didn’t laugh at the exchange, but instead appeared visibly annoyed by Haines making contact with her arm.<\/p>\n Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a representative for The View for comment.<\/p>\n Haines and Goldberg’s exchange came just under one month after Goldberg slapped Haines on the air<\/a> after the latter made an oral sex joke about fellow panelist Joy Behar on the March 25 broadcast.<\/p>\n “My agent at the time told me not to take\u00a0The View, and, in retrospect, he might’ve been right,” Behar joked, before recalling, “I was told, ‘Change your voice,’ which I can’t. ‘Change your name.'”<\/p>\n Haines cut in, asking Behar, “It’s so iconic, why would you change it?” The 83-year-old responded, “Because I sound like I have Jimmy Hoffa in the back of my throat,” which prompted the audience to laugh.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Well, did you?” Haines asked, referencing Behar’s running joke about having “dated” famous men in history.
