Whoopi Goldbergneeded a breather when the conversation turned to foot fetishes onThe View.

On Tuesday’s episode of the ABC talk show, Goldberg, 68, stepped away from the table as her co-hosts discussed aGuardian advice columnin which a man shared that his wife would no longer allow him to give her foot massages after he admitted that he had a fetish.

“You have to entertain your partner’s kink within reason,” co-hostAlyssa Farah Griffinexplained, which led Goldberg to need a break from the conversation.

“Excuse me for a second, keep talking,” she said before briefly walking away from the table.

“Whoopi has left the building,” Griffin, 34, joked as Goldberg walked to the side of the stage to hand off a notebook.

Once Goldberg rejoined her co-hosts, the conversation continued with Behar teasing, “You know, not to brag, but my feet have created foot fetishes out there, so I can’t really respond to this because I feel that I’m responsible for the fetishes.”

“This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move. I don’t care, because my feet are huge, and no one wants to touch them,” she added.

This is not the first time that feet have become a topic of conversation onThe View.

Last month, comedianMatt Rogersrecalleda hilarious memoryof when he was on the same flight back from the Bahamas as some of the ABC talk show’s hosts.

“You guys were in the first row,” Rogers said before turning to Behar, “You were barefoot on that plane.”

Rogers added, “I said I respect it,” and Behar then stated defensively, “I wasn’t walking around though.”

In September,Matthew McConaugheygave Behara foot rubon air. As fans may remember the duo went viral in 2006 for the same reason.

After a flashback clip of the incident played, Behar described the massage as a “highlight” of her life and pulled her foot out onto the Hot Topics table while coyly adding, “It so happens I got a pedicure this week.”

The Viewco-hosts also puttheir feet on the tableand for all to see in February 2022. The group discussed their respective rankings on wikiFeet, a website that’s dedicated to ranking celebrity feet and toes.
