It looks like Joy Behar had a wardrobe malfunction involving her bra on a Valentine's Day episode of "The View."

Although moderator Whoopi Goldberg wanted to explain the details behind the holiday kissing booth set up for its studio audience, the 80-year-old panelists' bra popped out and took the center spotlight.

Joy Behar Has a Bra-Related Wardrobe Malfunction On 'The View'

Although there was going to be a "surprise" for one of the couples in the studio audience kissing booth, the only surprise that captured social media's interest on Tuesday was the one involving Joy's bra.

Whoopi compared the incident to an "earthquake," saying, "The biggest surprise happened to us seconds ago, when Joy's bra started making all kinds of eyes at people at the table." She joked, "I mean, it was like an earthquake, suddenly the bra was like, 'Hello!' It was something else."

Panelist Sunny Hostin also played up the incident while reaching over to readjust the microphone on Joy's jacket. Joy joked that the moment "was my special gift to all the old people out there, all the old guys."

This prompted panelist and "The Chase" host Sara Haines to quip, "And the lesbians."

Wardrobe Malfunction Interrupts Discussion Of Possible 'Extraterrestrial Activity'

Although Whoopi attempted to move the panel discussion into the news about unidentified flying objects being shot down over American airspace, the conversation still found a way to work its way back toward Joy's wardrobe malfunction.

"She almost put my eye out from where I was sitting," Whoopi said, adding, "A whole lot of people are speculating about what's been hovering — it's her breasts — over American skies."

Joy quickly replied, "Just the left one." Although some viewers thought it was funny, one Twitter user commented, “There is NOTHING funny about this serious situation.”

Joy Behar captivated headlines last week due to several interesting discussions last week. One involved a comparison between her and President Joe Biden, as they are both 80 years old.

“Joe Biden and I are the same age. Would you say I could not do my job for the next four years? Of course, I can,” Joy said. “And the haters can go stick their heads in something because I’m not moving out of this seat.”

Although some critics don't believe that Joy can still continue her role on "The View" at 80, Sunny said that she frequently uses Joy as an example of someone who can still excel at their job no matter what their age.

Although she doesn’t remember exactly why now, Joy Behar was fired from “The View” in 2013. At the time, she told TIME magazine that she was “glad to be fired.”

“I was glad to be fired,” Joy told the magazine. “I basically was sick of the show at that point for some reason, I don’t even remember why.” When asked if she would miss the show, Joy replied, “Not really. You know what they say. The show must go off.”

Joy eventually returned to the show two years later in 2015 and plans to stay for another few years yet. During last week’s conversation at the Hot Topics table, Joy admitted, “I always have friends where I work, and if I don’t have friends at the job, I will not keep the job.”

“So, when I was fired last time from this show, people say to me, ‘Were you okay with that?’ and my answer is, I was happy because all my friends had left already,” she added. “So, there was no reason to stay anymore. I mean it.”

Whoopi seemed to take offense to this. “Really? All your friends left?” she asked as she pretended to cry. “It’s okay,” she said as her lip quivered dramatically. “I’m cool.”

“You had just come on, and my backstage friends had left. And I don’t like to work when I don’t have friends,” Joy added in her defense. Whoopi later added that the two have “been friends for a long time” and assured the crowd that she was just teasing.
