    Joy Behar found herself in hot water (twice) with Barbara Walters.

    “She fired me a couple of times,” the comedian told Page Six exclusively at the afterparty for the Tribeca Festival premiere of the new documentary “Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything.”

    Behar, 82, said she was once let go because of her loose lips.

    “I spilled the beans that Rosie [O’Donnell] was coming on the show,” she recalled. “[Barbara] wanted to announce that Rosie was coming on the show at the Emmys and told us to keep it a secret.”

    Behar explained that she “forgot” to keep quiet and told Entertainment Tonight.

    Walters was “furious that I would have such a big mouth but she rehired me the same day.”

    “The Great Gasbag” author added that she has “no idea” what warranted her second axing.

    Behar has been on “The View” since it began in 1997. She took a break for a couple of years but returned in 2015.

    Walters, who created “The View,” died in December 2022 at the age of 93.

    Behar further shared that Walters could be a generous boss.

    “I was invited to her dinner parties,” the talk show host revealed. “I would never have met [the other dinner guests, like] Henry Kissinger, Michael Bloomberg.”

    “She would go around the table and everybody had to speak,” Behar explained. “[She would ask], ‘Who do you think would be the best vice president?’ She sort of conducted the dinners like she was at the United Nations.”

    Behar was joined by her “View” colleagues Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro at the film premiere.

    “Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything” premieres on Hulu on June 23.
