Jessica Hahn and Barbara Walters mix it up on 'The View

Jessica Hahn appeared on "The View" on Tuesday for their week-long "Where Are They Now?" segment and the host was briefly when he rebuked by Barbara Walters tried to compare his scandal with a moment in the life of Walter.

Hahn is known for his sex scandal with televangelist Jim Bakker in 1980. Hahn claims she was raped during a meeting in 1980, while Bakker has argued that it was consensual. Bakker resigned from his position as leader of PTL in 1987 after it was revealed that he paid money for Hahn silence the meeting.

Co-host Sherri Shepherd tried to bring up the scandal Hahn saying "your story", which Hahn has tried to correct, saying: "Now, let me get this right. This was not a bargain."

He went on to address Walters said: "In 'Audition' your book have had a relationship with the senator." Walter Hahn was referring to the 2008 book in which he admitted having an affair with Senator Edward Brooke in 1970 who was married at the time.

Walters jumped quickly with "This is for you, my dear. This is not me, okay?"

"I am very happy to talk with my relationship, but this is for you," Walters added before asking "Where are we now?"

"Where are we now is that I had a meeting," said Hahn. "It 's been 15 minutes in a hotel."

Hahn then updated all the others about his life after the scandal, including how he passed the death of his long time love with Ron Leavitt, co-creator of "Married with children" who died of cancer in 2008.

Other guests set to make his appearance on "The View" segment this week include Paula Jones, John Bobbitt and Kato Kaelin.
