Jessica Biel was briefly concerned that a revelation about her unique eating habits may have led Whoopi Goldberg to have second thoughts about their friendship.
During Wednesday’s episode of The View, the Better Sister star was asked all about her penchant for enjoying a nice little snack break while in the middle of taking a shower.
“I don’t do sandwiches. I don’t do like, pastries,” Biel explained. “I have some boundaries! I’m not gonna eat a steak in there. But, you know what, I really like to drink my coffee in there. And then sometimes other things come in like, protein bars and stuff. It’s so gross and weird! I’m sorry!”

While Sunny Hostin appeared to be on board with the idea, it was Goldberg’s concerned glance toward the audience afterward that caught Biel’s attention. “I know, Whoopi, I’m sorry!” Biel exclaimed, before jokingly adding, “Now you don’t want to be friends with me anymore.”
Goldberg quickly shot down the suggestion that their friendship was at all in jeopardy over a little shower snack.
“No, no, I’m trying to think,” the View moderator replied. “That’s a lot of multitasking, ‘cause not only do you have to get away from the water, you have to get the food in your mouth, and then you’ve gotta get a towel, because some little kid’s about to get in.”
“I’m just doing what I have to do to get out on time,” Biel agreed. “I got drop off at 8:30. I gotta get there!”
This isn’t the first time Biel has spoken out about her love of a little shower snack. The 7th Heaven alum went viral in December 2023 when she posted a TikTok that featured her peeling and eating a blood orange during her quick rinse.
She also dished a few quick tips for any future shower eaters in a follow-up TikTok that January.
“Here’s my rules with shower eating: a ledge is really helpful, [somewhere] you can stick your cup, your yogurt container, your coffee, your espresso, whatever it is you’re enjoying,” Biel said at the time. “But I like to take a bite or a sip and put it on the ledge, and then you do your thing. You wash your hair — keep the soap out — that’s a big deal. It’s pretty simple, guys. You can do this.”
The only “tricky thing,” Biel confessed, is making sure that you keep your mouth closed while chewing. “Chew, do not open the mouth [and] do not let the shower water in,” she concluded. “There you go, enjoy your shower-consuming.”
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC.
