Sara Haines Abruptly Walked Off Camera On "The View"

The View is well-known for its dramatic and shocking moments, and Wednesday's episode was no different. Since this Wednesday's episode was co-host Whoopi Goldberg's birthday, the show devoted a segment to her favorite things.

They discussed Aleon suitcases, Lavazza coffee, Barbera olive oil, Giusti balsamic vinegar, Ami Paris clothing, Whoopi's new sports channel All Women's Sports Network, and...Parmigiano Reggiano USA cheese.

While discussing Parmigiano Reggiano USA, the two hosts stood behind a cheese wheel featuring Whoopi's face. This prompted Sara to say, "I always wanted my face on cheese."

It was Whoopi's response that caused her to walk off camera. "I like to be eaten from time to time," Whoopi said.
