Barbara Walters Suffering From The Chicken Pox At Age 83

Barbara Walters has pretty much seen it all throughout her illustrious career, except for one thing — the chicken pox.

The legendary anchor recently announced that she is suffering from a case of the chicken pox…roughly 75 years after most people catch the viral infection!

Barbara was already in recovery from a head injury she sustained during Inauguration weekend, and  was not present  on “The View” this morning to make the announcement herself … so Whoopi broke the news!

“We want to give you an update on Barbara,” Goldberg said … “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,

Whoopi added, “We love you. We miss you. We just don’t want to hug you.”
