Whoopi Goldberg is apparently skilled at uncovering the source of gossip.
The talk show co-host revealed during a segment of The View on Thursday that she has purposefully shared false stories in the past to see who was gossiping.
Following a discussion about gossip, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin had mentioned the method of planting false information to expose a gossiper when Goldberg chimed in that she was all too familiar with that approach.
We have done that, we have done that, she said while looking at fellow veteran co-host Joy Behar. We did that to see who was talking.
Behar, who initially looked confused by Goldbergs remarks, appeared to recall the situation moments later.
Oh, she said, seemingly trying to keep a straight face.
Goldberg and Behar didnt divulge further, and its unclear whether the EGOT winner was talking about a former on-set member, ex co-host or someone who currently works on the show.

Behar said she was sworn to secrecy when Farah Griffin and another co-host, Sunny Hostin, pressed the two to spill more details. (See a clip of the entire discussion below.)
