The View’s Joy Behar jokes ‘this is one horny panel’ as cohost Sara Haines gets flustered discussing THAT Bridgerton sex scene and teases: ‘My husband knows when I’m watching it’
Joy Behar joked that The View panel felt “horny” on Friday when she and her cohosts discussed the racy six-minute sex scene between Bridgerton characters Colin and Penelope in season three of the hit Netflix show.
Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin have made no secret of the fact that they have been enjoying watching the latest episodes of series, with Sara, 46, even hinting at her own sex life and teasing: ‘My husband knows when I’m watching Bridgerton.’
The mother-of-three admitted: ‘Those scenes… the sensual nature of the build-up, it takes me somewhere just watching! I can’t be alone!’ as comedian Joy, 81, blurted, “This is a hot panel!”
‘I watched it. It’s magical,” Sunny, 55, said before referencing the Bridgerton executive producer and saying, “Shonda Rhimes was very clear in that she wanted to make sure this came from a female gaze, and we didn’t seen a lot of that.’
“I haven’t stopped staring!” Sara intervened when Joy joked, “I could never do a six-minute sex scene!” First of all, shouting ‘Get off me’ only lasts four seconds!’ as she revealed, Bridgerton fans are divided over how long it takes for the scene to play out.

“Is six minutes long?” Sunny asked, while Joy replied, “I think so,” before quickly adding, “To look at it, maybe.” Not to do it, to watch it!’ as Ana Navarro interjected, saying, “And who exactly is divided on this?” Who’s against a six-minute sex scene? There’s no division mom!’
“But you know, it could be leave a little to the imagination?’ Joy argued, while Ana, 52, shot back: “Why?”
“Well, remember when they used to make out on the beach and when the waves crashed, you knew what they were doing. But now they have to see exactly!’ Joy explained.
Ana then revealed that she recently met actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, on a flight, saying: ‘She went to Brazil to promote the show, I went to Miami. And I find it very difficult to see her naked now, because she is so sweet, kind, small and graceful…’
A rather excited Sara then joked, “But even the sweet, nice people can get naked,” as Alyssa Farah Griffin claimed, “This is literally what we tune into on Bridgerton, you want the steamy, romantic sex scenes,” as Sunny added . : ‘From a female gaze!’ as Sara joked, “I haven’t stopped staring!”
Referring to Nicola, 37, Sunny then said: ‘What I like about that particular actress is that she’s like Romance, she’s not your skinny, skinny mini, and so some people stood up to her and said ‘those were lots of boobs to see,” and she said something I loved.
“She said, ‘It’s not often you see perfect breasts,’ and I was like, ‘Go ahead,'” Sunny added as the live studio audience applauded her.
“I also like that for a scene to last so long you have to involve the actors in it, and she said in an interview that she felt like it was so powerful and she felt sexy in those moments, and that comes through in looking at it. Alyssa commented.

Joy agreed, saying, “I think it’s good. It promotes marriages because after a while you get tired of each other and that gets you going again!’ as Sara blurted out, “Oh, it’s so true! It rewards everyone!’
The conversation took an even more racist turn when Joy asked, “Have you ever seen a porn movie?” It’s written by men, it looks like gynecological tapes! You know, there’s no foreplay, there’s no lead-up…’
Alyssa, 35, then said, “Yeah, but they’re trying to have more female directors, Stormy Daniels is directing now…” as Joy added, “The foreplay is the most fun anyway and then finish it at the end of the movie!”
Speaking about Bridgerton again, Sunny said, “These are very, very sexy. They’re beautifully photographed, and the clothes are beautiful, and the words are beautiful, and they’re the British accents… I could look at them forever.”
Their comments come after Nicola and costar Luke Newton, who plays Colin, revealed they broke the chaise lounge they were sitting on during the explicit six-minute sex scene.
On Thursday, the Irish actress took to Instagram and shared a photo of her and Luke giving the camera a thumbs up as they posed with the damaged chaise lounge.
