'It's too uncomfortable, and I don't mind if they hit the floor. They are mine,' she added.
Her co-host, Hostin, also chimed in and said that bras are torture devices.
BEST WAY TO PUT ON A BRA? The co-hosts weigh in after two of the stars of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' debated the right way to put on a bra on their podcast 'Reasonably Shady.' pic.twitter.com/lejewax3Qc — The View (@TheView) May 20, 2025
While Behar added that she left like letting her boobs loose as bras are uncomfortable.
'You know what I feel like doing right now? I feel like letting these girls loose,' Behar joked.
It's a known fact that women wear bras because their breasts need support. And as much as this is considered an everyday undergarment, sometimes it can get a little uncomfortable and overwhelming.
Which is why some women like Goldberg prefer comfort, choosing a no-bra option.
However, as much as not wearing a bra might feel comfortable there are disadvantages as well as advantages that come along with that decision.
Advantages of not wearing a bra:
According to an article by Ria Bhagwat on the 'Real Simple' website, there are benefits of not wearing a bra which includes refining your muscle tone and improving your skin's health.
'Not wearing a bra forces the muscles in your chest and back to work harder to support your breasts, and this engagement may lead to improved muscle tone over time,' they wrote.
They added: 'Going braless, even for short periods, can help prevent painful chafing and rubbing along the shoulders, rib and back."
Disadvantages of not wearing a bra:
Not wearing a bra will eventually lead to your breasts sagging or even back problems.
Several years of not wearing a bra will lead to your breasts sagging, especially if you have bigger breasts.

Murder of wealthy woman by greedy playboy boyfriend still shrouded in mystery
The enigmatic murder of a wealthy woman by her duplicitous playboy boyfriend remains unresolved, as police have yet to recover her body two decades after the crime. Wealthy Janet Brown fell victim to her mercenary lover Donald Graham who took her life for financial gain and then craftily convinced detectives she was still alive five years on - resulting in a delayed missing person investigation. Eventually, justice caught up with Graham when he received a life sentence for the murder of Janet, marking Northumbria Police's rare conviction without a corpse. Despite his incarceration, Graham maintains his innocence, professing ignorance regarding her manner of death and the location of her remains. Saturday commemorated 20 years since independent and adventurous Janet, who cherished her freedom, animals, and globetrotting, disappeared inexplicably. Marie McCourt, an 81 year old campaigner whose daughter's demise in Merseyside spurred on her advocacy for "Helen's Law", spoke to Chronicle Live saying: "My heart goes out to Janet who, 20 years after being murdered, has still not been laid to rest. To take a life is heinous enough. But to then hide the body of a murder victim is such a cruel, callous, deliberate act that causes untold pain and distress to families," reports the Mirror. "It was for this very reason that I fought so hard for Helen's Law, which was introduced in 2021. I'd urge Janet's killer to do the right thing. Tell police what you did with her so that she can be found, brought home and given the funeral she and her loved ones deserve." Janet hailed from an affluent family, had her own property development firm, and dabbled in television work as an extra and a mystery shopper. The avid traveller relished her time abroad, often jetting off alone to explore new places. Before her mysterious disappearance, Janet had been covertly involved with a married man named Graham for a stretched period, whilst residing with her aging parents Olive and Eric Brown, at their Plane Trees Farm tucked away near Hexham. The alarm around Janet's absence wasn't raised until 2005, but it wasn't until 2010 that her vanishing came to light thanks to a vigilant bank employee who noticed dodgy signatures on her banking papers. Acting on their suspicions, the sharp-eyed bank staffer contacted the authorities when they observed discrepancies in the signatures linked to Janet's financial accounts. A fraud inquiry was commenced and subsequently escalated to Northumbria Police's homicide team after hitting a dead end in locating Janet. Investigations into Janet's banking activities unearthed that a hefty sum had been wired to Graham just before she last made contact on June 15, 2005, not long before they were scheduled to embark on a holiday together in France. The last known contact anyone had with Janet was on June 15 when she spoke to a mate who had agreed to look after her dog while she was away. Detectives reckon Janet was murdered sometime between 15 and 18 June, but it would be a while before anyone realised she was dead. When Janet didn't show up for work on 28 June, the police were asked to check on her at home, as detectives previously told the Chronicle. Her parents informed officers they thought she had extended her holiday. With Janet gone, Graham continued to raid her bank accounts, all the while pretending she was still alive. He even penned letters to her elderly parents, posing as Janet and claiming she had landed a new job overseas. However, when her parents passed away in 2007 and 2008, Janet didn't attend the funerals, despite Graham being present at both. Graham, then aged 60, was finally arrested in April 2010. Police conducted thorough searches of Janet's parent's house and Graham's property in an attempt to locate her remains. Specially trained Cadaver dogs, search experts, and ground penetrating radar equipment were utilised. Yet, to this day, the circumstances of Janet's death and the location of her body remain unknown. Graham denied murder but was found guilty following a trial at Newcastle Crown Court in 2014. The jury heard how, after killing Janet, Ferrari-driving Graham set about defrauding his victim and her family to the tune of more than £500,000 to fund his flashy lifestyle. During the trial, it was revealed how he was eventually arrested. Janet's parents had intended their estates to go to Guide Dogs for the Blind if their only daughter predeceased them, the court was told. It was explained that Graham was caught out when a Skipton Building Society clerk noticed a signature that didn't match that of Janet's father. Graham was impersonating Mr Brown, a retired accountant, and was attempting to move money when the employee became suspicious and alerted the society's national fraud department, who began writing to their customer who was now, unbeknownst to them, deceased. The police were called in, and what began as a fraud investigation in 2009 turned into a murder hunt when officers became worried about Janet's disappearance. It was suggested in court that Janet's body may have been discarded in a deep pit or mine shaft by Graham, who had previously worked as a JCB digger driver.

In 2021, after years of campaigning by Marie, whose daughter Helen was murdered on Merseyside in 1988, new legislation was introduced meaning that murderers and paedophiles who withhold information about their victims could face longer prison sentences. The Prisoners Disclosure of Information About Victims Act, more commonly known as 'Helen's Law', puts a statutory obligation on the Parole Board to weigh up the torment inflicted by murderers who won't disclose where a victim's body lies when mulling their release. The legislation implies Graham might end his days in prison if he keeps mum about where Janet's remains are located. Det Chief Insp Paul Woods, from the Northumbria Police squad investigating Janet's murder, has before remarked on how unusual the case is. "These cases are extremely rare. My understanding is this is the only case Northumbria Police has had of somebody being convicted of murder when a body has not been found. "It could have been the perfect murder, that no one would know had taken place."

Diljit Dosanjh receives support from BJP amid calls to revoke citizenship over 'Sardar Ji 3'
— rpsinghkhalsa (@rpsinghkhalsa) Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has gotten support from BJP national spokesperson RP Singh and former DSGMC chief Manjit Singh G amid backlash for his film ' Sardaar Ji 3 ' starring Pakistan actor Hania a post on his X account on Friday R P Singh described Dosanjh as "a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture" and slammed the Federation of Western India Cine Employees for demanding action against the celebrity."FWICE's call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Pahalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit's patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational," he wrote."Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too? Let's not cheapen nationalism or weaponise patriotism. FWICE should reconsider its stance—such targeting of our own talent only weakens our moral standing," he Punjabi actor and BJP culture cell convener Hobby Dhaliwal extended support to Diljit at a press conference at the party's Chandigarh said that Diljit was not just an artist but a globally respected face of Punjabi culture . "At a time of national tension, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable," he said."Diljit is the son of this soil. Punjab stands with him—and India too," Dhaliwal expressed regret and disappointment over certain elements demanding the cancellation of the artist's citizenship and a ban on his films."Every citizen is patriotic, but using this as a pretext to target a single artist is wrong. BJP stands firmly with Diljit Dosanjh," he Akali Dal leader and former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee chief Manjit Singh GK too issued a statement in Diljit's support and questioned "selective targeting" of Diljit.(With TOI inputs)
