Just over a week after falling and cutting her head during inauguration weekend, Barbara Walters is in the hospital with chicken pox.
This morning on “The View,” Whoopie Goldberg updated the audience on Barbara’s condition. “You all know that she fell and cut her head 10 days ago, and then was running a temperature, but it turns out it is all the result of a delayed childhood. Barbara has the chicken pox. She’d never had it as a child. So now she’s been told to rest, she’s not allowed any visitors. and we’re telling you, Barbara, no scratching.”
Walters, 83, was transferred to a New York hospital late last week. Prior to that, she was hospitalized in Washington after tripping on the stairs of the British ambassador’s residence, preventing her from covering the inauguration festivities.
