During Tuesday’s ‘The View’ broadcast, Rita Moreno shared her “great story” when she accidentally peed herself while accepting her Kennedy Center Honors in 2015. Although the topic was brought up by ‘The View’ host Sara Haines, Moreno explained the moment as the “great story” and exactly what happened afterward.
She said, “The night before the actual Kennedy Awards on television, you are invited to the State Department and that’s where you get your necklace and that’s where you get your dedication,” she continued, “In that case, it was Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court Justice, who talked about me and asked me to come from my table”. Moreno was insanely proud of herself when Sonia said delighted things about her until her evening was ruined as she returned to her table. Moreno explains that when she returned to her table, a young Puerto Rican lawyer lifted her and hugged her to death. She said, “He lifted me up. And was hugging me to death, and I mean really hugging me, and I felt a stream of something hot”. She dispassionately admitted, “Yes, I was peeing”.
Immediately after that, the lawyer was “so thrilled” and picked her up again but reacted, “This is the kind of thing where I said, ‘No, this is not happening”. She continued jokingly, “Sonia just said I’m a splendid person. I’m a star, this is not happening”. Moreno further disclosed that, luckily, her custom-made Narciso Rodriguez gown did not have a stain. She concluded the story, “I had not only peed on it, it did not leave a stain..but it got so cold I had to go change. I hung up the gown, and it shrank down to a size four”.
