Sara Haines apologized to the audience at The View after she cracked a controversial joke while she and her co-hosts discussed Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ sex trafficking case.

The awkward moment, which can be watched above, occurred after Alyssa Farah Griffin explained that rapper 50 Cent, Diddy’s longtime rival and critic, was taking it upon himself to convince President Trump not to pardon Diddy if he is convicted on the sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges he is currently facing.

“50 Cent has had a bit of a relationship with Trump… He came out and said he was going to talk to Trump about why he should not pardon Diddy because he’s been all on Diddy’s things for years and been calling him out for it,” Griffin explained on the show.

Haines then interjected to add, “Everyone’s been on Diddy’s things,” which prompted a laugh from Griffin but caused the View audience to loudly groan in response.

Haines quickly realized the joke did not land with the audience and quickly apologized, though her co-hosts continued their discussion without noticing the misstep.

The rest of the Hot Topics segment continued without a hitch as Behar questioned why Trump seems to be pardoning more rappers. Earlier on in the discussion, Griffin also pointed out that, unlike other celebrity cases, Diddy does not seem to have the court of public opinion on his side.

Sunny Hostin also slammed Trump’s willingness to pardon Diddy, calling it “shameful.”

“I’ve been in that court room almost every single day and we’re hearing about women who were physically abused, who were sexually abused, who were mentally and emotionally abuse, and the thought that [Trump] would just consider it and he himself has been found civilly liable for sexual abuse, the fact that he would be so dismissive of these charges is really something that is shameful. It’s just shameful,” Hostin said.

Joy Behar interjected to joke that Trump “would pardon Jack The Ripper if he was alive.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
