Whoopi Goldberghas a confession: sometimes she works out in jeans.
The Viewhost, 68, admitted on Tuesday’s episode while chatting aboutRobert F. Kennedy Jr.’s reported peculiar habit of exercising in denim that she also has done the same thing.
“You can’t do any exercise in denim,” hostSunny Hostin, 55, said afterAlyssa Farah Griffin, 34, brought up the subject. “No, no you can,” Goldberg replied. “You can. Yeah, I’ve done that.”
Her response prompted Hostin to ask, “What about the sweating in the privates?”
Goldberg told her that she just “changes” her clothes when she gets home.
“Because listen, sometimes you don’t have time to stop when everybody else is in their shorts and everything,” she added. “And you go and you get some exercise in when you can.”
Sara Haines, 46, then proceeded to ask Goldberg several questions about her answer. “You have worked out in your jeans? In the gym? In public? People have witnessed this?,” she asked.
“I have worked out in my [jeans]. I have. Yes, people have witnessed it,” Goldberg replied.
HostJoy Behar, 81, appeared to take Goldberg’s side asking, “What’s the big deal?”
“I don’t know. Apparently it’s a freaky thing to some people,” Goldberg quipped to Haines.

“Let me tell you why it’s important. I think it’s important because I feel lucky to have lived to this age,” Goldberg began.
She continued, “I outlived my brother — I’m older than my brother was — and I just feel like I should celebrate and have a good time for all those folks who didn’t get to get here."
