Sunny Hostin reveals why Sara Haines has 'so many cups' on The View after fans beg for answers to host's behavior

THE View's Sunny Hostin has revealed why her co-host, Sara Haines, has several

THE View's Sunny Hostin has revealed why her co-host, Sara Haines, has several mugs in front of her during the live talk show.

Fans have been begging for answers as to why Sara swaps out her mugs and has more than one.

Sunny appeared on Andy Cohen's podcast, SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, to promote her new book, Summer on Sag Harbor, on Monday.

Andy asked her about a previous discussion they had where he asked her who farted the most on set and she answered Whoopi Goldberg.

But, she also answered another question about one of her other co-hosts that fans have been wondering for a long time - why Sara has so many cups.

"You revealed on Watch What Happens Live, I asked you who passes gas the most out of everyone there, and you said Whoopi, and it got picked up everywhere," he said.

"She didn't like it!" Sunny admitted.

"It was rapid fire. You know, I think the way this thing started is, Sara drinks too much water on set. She has a weak bladder."

Sunny continued: "And so, she's constantly with two and three mugs- one has seltzer water, one has hot lemon water, the other has room temperature water."

"I really don't understand her water process, but she kept moving them across the table and it made this farting noise."

"And Whoopi, in an effort to cover that up, we have coasters now, went, 'Sorry y'all, that was me'," she explained.

"And I just took her at her word. I didn't know it was Sara with all of her waters. She should only have one cup of water anyway. We all have one cup, but Sara has three."

Sunny appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on April 27.

At one point in the interview, Andy asked Sunny rapid-fire questions about her View co-hosts.

"Despite the occasional on-air blow-ups, Sunny has said that the women of The View have a tight bond, like a sorority. I hope that means she's up for some light hazing in a round of Who Gon' Check Me, View?" Andy said.

Sunny said that she had to take a sip of her drink before playing.

After a string of questions, Andy asked: "Who actually passes the most gas on set?"

"Whoopi!" Sunny answered and then raised her eyebrows as the crowd laughed.

The host also put Whoopi in the categories of "the most generous gift giver," "picks up the check when they go out to eat," and "disagrees with her the most."

Around February, Sara picked up the habit of having two cups in front of her, instead of one.

Her other co-hosts - Sunny, Whoopi, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro - always have one in front of them.

Sara started out with one, then moved to two, and sometimes even has three in front of her.

Her habit got even stranger when she started swapping out cups in the middle of an episode.

Everyone has the standard blue mug with the words, "The View," on it.

Sara would have two or three mugs, but sometimes would swap them out for others.

One of her mugs was white and had pictures of all of the hosts on it.

Another one was smaller, white, and had The View logo across it.

Another time, Sara even had a big red mug, with a coffee cup on the front of it.
