Alyssa Farah Griffin Says She Accidentally 'Flashed' Jude Law And Then Made It Worse
'The View' host Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed Thursday that she gave actor Jude Law an unintended view of herself. (Watch the video below.) The panelists had been discussing singer LeAnn Rimes' teeth falling out during a recent concert when Griffin chimed in with her own embarrassing moment. 'This isn't quite the same, but I accidentally flashed my underwear to Jude Law backstage once,' she said of the 'Fantastic Beasts' star. 'My mic pack fell down my dress so, at commercial, I run back and usually it's either Rachel or Shauna, our female audio techs. It was Rachel. I flashed my skirt up so she could help me move it, and Jude Law's just standing there.' 'And then, in my embarrassment, he just said nothing and I go, 'I'm sorry, sir!'' Griffin continued. 'Like, I made it worse by calling him sir! And then I maybe curtsied. It was brutal.' Check it out at 1:45: Law last visited the talk show in November, but it was unclear when the incident happened. Actor Hayley Atwell recently recounted how she, too, overcompensated in a cringe moment with another star, Tom Cruise. Several people from 'Mission: Impossible ― The Final Reckoning' watched a movie together at Cruise's house. Cruise also invited Atwell's French bulldogs, who sat on Cruise's lap and farted incessantly. The stench filled up the room. Atwell told 'The Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon she was so embarrassed she felt compelled to say something. 'So there was a lull in the film, and I just turned to him at one point and I went, 'Sorry for all the tootin'' (in an exaggerated Western movie delivery). When Cruise muttered something barely intelligible back, Atwell said she thought, 'That's more awkward than the farting.'

TV star accidentally flashed Jude Law in backstage mishap
Alyssa Farah Griffin confessed she once accidentally flashed two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law backstage during a discussion on The View about 'embarrassing personal malfunctions.' 'This isn't quite the same, but I accidentally flashed my underwear to Jude Law backstage once,' she recalled as the show's hosts chatted about LeAnn Rimes' teeth falling out during a recent performance. 'My mic pack fell down my dress so at commercial I run back [stage]' for help from an audio tech, she divulged during Thursday's episode of the ABC talk show. 'I flashed up my skirt so she could help me move it, and Jude Law's just standing there,' she continued. 'And then in my embarrassment — he just says nothing — I go, 'I'm sorry, sir!' Like, I made it worse by calling him sir! And then I maybe curtsied! It was brutal.' Griffin's co-hosts Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro giggled hysterically and gasped over the jaw-dropping confession. It's unclear exactly when the mishap took place, though Law did make an appearance on the popular ABC talk show back in November. Meanwhile, Haines shared footage of a cringe-worthy on-camera moment during a 2013 appearance on Good Morning America. In the clip, Haines attempted a faux-faint into the arms of a man dressed as Spider-Man — but instead brushed past his arm and fell to the floor. 'I had a moment once on-air,' Haines recalled, adding that there had been 'rehearsals' before the shocking blunder. 'I was with Spider-Man, and [producers] said, 'Oh, you should do something damsel in distress-y,' she continued. 'And so we rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,' Haines continued. 'We went live, and it just didn't go as planned.' She added that tragically — even after three successful attempts — 'It was only the time cameras were watching that he missed me.' Despite the dramatic blunders, Behar pointed out earlier in the episode that such moments aren't unheard of. 'How many of you have ever experienced an embarrassing personal malfunction?' Behar asked the audience, encouraging them to 'clap' if they had. 'The whole audience?' she marvelled. 'Wow, it must be very common.'

Whoopi Goldberg resurfaces with absurd comments about her life 'challenges' as she clings on to The View job
The View host Whoopi Goldberg has shrugged off the firestorm that erupted over her outrageous comments on Iran by appearing at a ceremony in Sicily, where she ignored the controversy by discussing the 'challenges' of being a celebrity. During an episode of the daytime talk show last week, Goldberg compared life as a black American to living under Iran's authoritarian regime - earning blowback from her co-hosts and a flood of critics calling for her firing. A few days later, she attended The Taobuk Awards at the historic outdoor Teatro Antico in Taormina, where she spoke about her 2024 book 'Bits and Pieces' covering her difficult upbringing in New York City. At one point, the host asked some of the 'biggest' difficulties Goldberg has had to overcome. 'I get dressed, put on my heels and try to look my best,' she quipped. 'So this is the biggest one.' Speaking of the venue, she joked that 'so many beautiful theaters around the world have hosted me.' Meanwhile, commenters invaded her Instagram account to trash Goldberg for her remarks last Wednesday on The View in response to co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praising American freedoms. 'The U.S. in 2025 is not as bad as Iran in 2025,' Griffin said on the show. 'Not if you're black,' Goldberg cut in. 'Listen, I'm sorry. They used to just keep hanging black people,' she continued, telling Griffin 'there's no way I can make you understand it.' 'It is the same.' The fallout for her remarks has been ruthless. 'Please move to Iran. And STAY there,' a top commenter wrote on Goldberg's Instagram post highlighting the ceremony in Sicily. 'How can you not be embarrassed to show your face in public?' another added. 'You realize married women in Iran need their husband's permission to get a passport and travel? Is there a law in America I am unaware of that states the same about black women in America?' a third chimed in. At the ceremony, Goldberg also gave her bizarre thoughts on international borders, saying she has 'a hard time believing in borders because you can't see them.' 'You know, somebody says "that's the border," and you say, "Oh, okay." But then next week they say, "Oh! The border's changed. It's over here now." So, I don't know if I follow borders,' she said. 'I tend to just do as my mother suggested, and go where I want to go. And if somebody says, "You can't be here," say, "Why not?" - and then move accordingly.' The View co-host Joy Behar first discussed Goldberg's absence from the show last week, announcing that she would be away in Italy the following week. She will return on on July 7, after the show takes it annual weeklong break, an ABC spokeswoman confirmed. The ordeal comes a month after top brass at ABC News and its parent company Disney were said have a sked the ladies to dial back their complaining about Donald Trump. The daily talk show has been filled with criticisms of the commander-in-chief and his policies, with mostly kind words for Democrats. It also comes weeks after ABC News took extreme measures by firing of longtime correspondent Terry Moran for attacking the Trump administration in a post on social media. In December, ABC was forced to fork over $15 million to settle a libel suit brought by after Moran's longtime colleague, George Stephanopoulos, made erroneous on-air comments about Trump. On last Wednesday's episode of The View, Goldberg questioned whether the many human rights violations perpetrated by the Iranian regime was worse than the treatment of some groups in America. Media personalities from Bill Maher to Adam Corolla also seized on the remarks. 'Let's just remember, too, the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings,' Griffin said. 'They don't adhere to basic human rights.' 'Let's not do that,' Goldberg replied. 'Because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car.' Media personalities from Bill Maher to Adam Corolla also seized on the remarks. On his show last week, Maher asked the Democratic party to 'do something' about The View after playing the clip.

Whoopi Goldberg skips The View after calls for her to be fired over ‘idiotic' Iran comments
Whoopi Goldberg has been missing from The View since last week after she was slammed for her comments comparing the experience of being a black American to living in Iran. The Oscar-winning actress, 69, sparked a firestorm during a segment on Wednesday in which co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised American freedoms, and said: 'The U.S. in 2025 is not as bad as Iran in 2025.' But Goldberg cut in: 'Not if you're black. Listen, I'm sorry. They used to just keep hanging black people,' and told Griffin 'there's no way I can make you understand it. It is the same.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Goldberg questioned whether the many human rights violations perpetrated by the Iranian regime were worse than the treatment of some groups in America. 'Let's just remember, too, the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings, Griffin said. 'They don't adhere to basic human rights.' But Goldberg shot back: 'Let's not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car.' Her comments earned widespread condemnation from Iranian dissidents and the public, including calls for her to be fired. Dr Sheila Nazarian is a plastic surgeon whose family fled Iran in 1985 when she was six years old. She told Fox News: 'Whoopi Goldberg's comparison between being Black in America and living under Iran's authoritarian regime is deeply misguided. 'It dismisses the brutal realities faced by millions of Iranians.' Goldberg appeared on Thursday's episode of The View, before being bashed by Bill Maher on his show. He asked the Democratic party to 'do something' about The View after playing the widely ridiculed clip on Friday, a day that Goldberg typically takes off. One TikTok user pointed out: 'You're a multi-millionaire black woman on national television saying this? That alone proves the difference between America and Iran.' After facing days of criticism, The View's co-host Joy Behar sought to explain Goldberg's conspicuous absence. 'She's in Italy accepting an award for her book Bits and Pieces, so she will be out this week,' Behar said on Monday's show. Goldberg will not be back on the show before its annual weeklong summer break next week, Behar added. She will return on July 7, sources told along with her fellow co-hosts. The news comes a month after top brass at ABC News and parent company Disney asked the women to dial back their complaints about Donald Trump. ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic and Disney CEO Bob Iger had each made the requests separately, according to The Daily Beast. The daily talk show has been filled with criticisms of the commander-in-chief and his policies, with mostly kind words for Democrats. Reply: Goldberg's comments came after The View co-host co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised American freedoms It isn't the first time Goldberg has come under for her on-air comments since replacing longtime moderator Rosie O'Donnell back in 2007. In 2022, Goldberg argued that the Holocaust was 'not about race,' leading her to apologize to the Jewish community. The remarks earned her a two-week suspension.
