The gloves came out Tuesday on “The View” during a “Where Are They Now?” segment with Jessica Hahn.
Hahn, who became famous after she accused televangelist Jim Bakker of rape in the 1980s, took great offense when host Sherri Shepherd referred to her and Bakker’s sexual encounter as an “affair.”

The guest then turned it on Barbara Walters, saying, “This wasn’t an affair. Unlike, I don’t want to be cruel or anything, in your book Audtion, you had an affair with a senator.” Walters wrote in her book that in the 70s she had an affair with Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke.
Walters was not having any of that, and quickly retorted “”This is about you, my dear. This is not about me, ok?” I’m very happy to talk about my relationships, but this is about you.” This garnered cheers and applause from the audience, who clearly thought that Hahn was out of line.
After the Bakker scandal Hahn went on to a small acting career and posed several times for Playboy.
