Ana Navarro shocked absolutely no one during Monday's episode of "The View" when she defended Jeffrey Toobin's return to CNN after the legal analyst's embarrassing Zoom call masturbation fiasco last fall that cost him his longtime job with the New Yorker.

After viewing part of Toobin's on-air return to CNN, which took place last week, co-host Whoopi Goldberg noted that Navarro "worked for CNN" and then asked her, "Are you surprised to see him back on the air?"

Team player Navarro said no.

"You know, actually I'm not surprised he's back on the air," she answered. "But I will tell you when I saw that interview, oh, God, how embarrassing, how humiliating. I kept thinking to myself, 'If I have to go on live TV and explain to the nation why I masturbated on a Zoom call, I think I would rather go sell avocados under I-95 than get my job back on TV.'"

Navarro explained that Toobin "was not sexually harassing anybody. He didn't have the intent to sexually harass somebody. He was sexually harassing himself maybe."

The New York Daily News reported in 2010 that an unnamed "well-known media figure" said Toobin — who's been married since 1986 — repeatedly hit on her at a Washington, D.C., party.

The woman added to the Daily News that Toobin later followed her to her hotel room: "He tried to invite himself in. He said, 'You know you want it.' I said, 'No, actually I don't.'"

The Daily News — citing an unnamed source — also reported in 2010 that after Toobin impregnated his mistress Casey Greenfield, he offered her "money if she'd have an abortion."

The paper added that Greenfield carried the baby to term but that Toobin had stopped talking to her. The Daily News said Toobin agreed to take a DNA test, which ultimately proved he's the father, and that a Manhattan Family Court judge ordered him to pay child support. The paper said that when Toobin refused to pay the full amount, sources claimed Greenfield's lawyer threatened to notify his employers and garnish his wages — and then Toobin ponied up.
