Barbara Walters Has What?

Well, that was definitely in no one’s view.

Infamous news anchor Barbara Walters had a couple of unfortunate mishaps last week when she fell and cut her head while in the home of the British Ambassador.

But on today’s episode of The View (actress Melissa Joan Hart was the special guest co-host), it was revealed that the fall actually came from her childhood, so to speak.

The 83-year-old is battling… the chicken pox.

It seems as if Walters never had the infection as a child.

“Barbara has the chicken pox” co-host and moderator Whoopi Goldberg shared on today’s show. “She’d never had it as a child. So now she’s been told to rest, she’s not allowed any visitors. and we’re telling you, Barbara, no scratching. We love you. We miss you. We just don’t want to hug you.”

It’s common for children to have the illness as a child, but as an adult, it could actually prove fatal.

Get well soon, Miss Walters!
