Sara Haines Says Mentalist Betrayed Pre-Show Promise by Revealing Her Real ATM PIN on Live TV

Her account highlights an unusual pre-segment meeting that she says created a false sense of safety.

Overview

  • Haines detailed on The View and its Behind the Table podcast that Oz Pearlman assured her before airtime that her real PIN would not be used.
  • Joy Behar said Haines had a “nervous breakdown” and was “rage crying” after the on-air reveal of the number.
  • Haines said Pearlman asked cohosts to type their real PINs into their phones during the pre-show meeting, repeated assurances it wouldn’t air, and never apologized afterward.
  • The View removed the PIN-reveal moment from its uploaded episode and social clips following the live broadcast.
  • Entertainment outlets report Pearlman has not responded to repeated requests for comment, and Haines says he later tried to collaborate on a social post using her reaction.
