In a moment that has left The View fans buzzing, Whoopi Goldberg surprised co-host Sunny Hostin by spraying her with water for gushing over Jesse Williams’ leaked nude photos. The incident occurred during a lively discussion on the show following the leak of images from the actor’s role in the stage play Take Me Out.

The Drama Unfolds

The conversation began innocuously enough, but when Sunny couldn’t contain her admiration for Jesse Williams’ physique after the nude photos surfaced, things took an unexpected turn. Jesse’s full-frontal photos were leaked just hours after the actor received his first Tony nomination for his role in the play. The stage production follows a gay professional baseball player navigating his journey of coming out, and it includes a scene in which Williams’ character appears naked in a shower.

As Sunny continued to praise Jesse’s body—calling him a “statue” and comparing him to the famous sculpture David—Whoopi decided to step in. The 66-year-old moderator, seemingly trying to inject some levity into the conversation, grabbed a spray bottle of water that had been on the table for a different segment earlier in the show. Walking over to Sunny, she playfully spritzed her co-host, saying, “Cool off!”

Fans React to the Hilarious Moment

The audience, both in the studio and on social media, reacted in real-time, with viewers on Twitter commenting on the light-hearted exchange. One fan tweeted, “Saw someone say about Whoopi spraying Sunny! And I just saw it! Wow lol,” while another added, “I love that Whoopi uses that spray bottle to cool off Sunny.”

Many found the moment both hilarious and unexpected, as it highlighted the easy rapport between the two hosts. “Whoopi basically just told her to cool down, after she was kinda mesmerizing about Jesse Williams being naked,” one Twitter user observed.

While discussing the nude photos, Sunny couldn’t help but gush over the Grey’s Anatomy actor’s body, but Whoopi thought she needed to calm down a bit.

The moderator, 66, walked over to her co-host and sprayed Sunny with water and demanded she “cool off.”

Whoopi insisted everyone would be “pulling [their] hair out” if it were an actress and not an actor who had a nude video of themselves leaked.

The other hosts, though, took a bit of comfort in the fact that Jesse said himself that he wasn’t overwhelmingly bothered by the incident.

Sunny continued to thirst over Jesse’s body as she discussed the unauthorized photos, which she said she had many friends in her circle send to her.

The 53-year-old said: “He doesn’t seem to feel like he has been harassed, he doesn’t seem to feel like he has been shamed.

“And that makes me feel a little better about the fact that I did stare at the pictures for a ridiculously long amount of time.”

Continuing on, Sunny said Jesse just looked like a “statue,” as she imitated what a statue looked like, and said he was “beautiful.”

She added: “He looked just like [the sculpture] David. Just beautiful. Gorgeous.”

At this point, Whoopi got up from her chair, grabbed the little spray bottle of water she had on  the table from a bit she did earlier in the show, and walked over to Sunny.

The 66-year-old spritzed her co-host with the water and told her to “cool off!”

Viewers took to Twitter to share their shock over seeing Whoopi jokingly spray Sunny with water to get her to end her rant over Jesse’s naked form.

One The View fan wrote: “Saw someone say about Whoopi spraying Sunny! And I just saw it! Wow lol”

A second said: “I love that Whoopi uses that spray bottle to cool off Sunny.”

A third tweeted: “Whoopi basically just told her to cool down, after she was kinda mesmerizing about Jesse Williams being naked.”

Just hours after Jesse received his first Tony nomination for his role in Take Me Out, the actor started trending on Twitter for a different reason.

An audience member broke the rules after filming the Grey’s Anatomy star and his co-stars on stage.

Everyone in the audience is supposed to put their phones in a sealed case.

The full-frontal footage was taken during a shower scene in the stage play.

The production follows a gay professional baseball player who has to deal with coming out to the press and his teammates.

The video leaked just hours after Jesse received his first Tony nomination for the role for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play.

Twitter was very quick to react to the video with many fans praising him, both for his portrayal of the role and for his body.

Many fans said that they will be buying tickets just to see Jesse in that scene.

The View’s Sunny echoed that sentiment, saying on the show on Wednesday that many of her friends have already purchased tickets to attend the play after seeing the photos and clips.

The talk show host said: “Jesse Williams looks like a specimen. He looks gorgeous, he looks beautiful, his body is beautiful.

“And I have at least — and this is serious — 20 friends that have now bought tickets because of what they saw.”
