Many fans of The View stuck by Whoopi Goldberg after she made unfavorable remarks about the Holocaust. However, Goldberg came under fire again after displaying “disturbing behavior” on live TV, and this time, viewers claim she had gone too far, demanding her termination.
Whoopi Goldberg faced significant backlash after making comments on air. During an episode of The View, she stirred the pot with remarks about parenting, saying, “Sometimes you have to be an a** to be a parent.” Such language did not sit well with many viewers, according to reports from The Sun.
One person on Reddit remarked, “Whoopi and Sunny’s [Hostin] foul language was too much today.” They criticized the hosts for swearing while discussing tighter gun control measures. “Between Whoopi using the word ‘b***hin’ and Sunny saying Republicans were ‘p**sing on her leg when it’s raining,’ I had to turn off. This is daytime TV, not the Howard Stern show. Some people have kids home for the summer.”
According to the Daily Mail, viewers demanded that Whoopi Goldberg be fired for “going nuts” on live television. Fans urged the producers to reconsider the cast, criticizing Whoopi’s performance this season. “Someone needs to start pushing back on Whoopi,” one fan commented. “I have a feeling someone will not let her interject one day, which will cause Whoopi to go full-on nuts. She’s gotten exponentially worse this season. When contract negotiations come up, it might be time for her to go or work fewer days.”
Another fan responded, “I have no idea what ABC thinks is happening here. They take several women, with no real credibility, let them mouth off day after day, and they’re surprised when someone says something stupid?”
This isn’t the first time Goldberg has faced backlash. She recently made headlines after accusing guest co-anchor Ana Navarro of trying to steal her job. As The View’s moderator, Whoopi typically manages segments and decides when to switch topics or take breaks. Ana tried to end a discussion herself, cutting off Whoopi and suggesting a commercial break. “Maybe we talk a bit more about that when we come back,” Ana said with a side-eye. Whoopi responded sarcastically, “Oh, you wanna do this?”
Fans expressed their frustrations not only on social media but also through a Change.org petition to “fire” Whoopi Goldberg. Initially created after Goldberg’s controversial Holocaust remarks, the petition gained traction with thousands of new signatures after her recent on-air cursing.
Goldberg also angered British viewers when she criticized the Royal Family, insisting they should “apologize” for slavery. “Britain ran roughshod over India for years,” she stated. “When discussing what needs to happen, don’t forget all those who need to apologize. Prince Charles, during his visit to Barbados, seemed aware as he apologized. Maybe someone is listening—perhaps the new generation of royals.”
The Daily Mail’s article on Goldberg’s comments about the Royal Family drew many reactions. Jo from Edinburgh said, “This is getting boring now. If a man mistreated my grandfather, I wouldn’t demand an apology from his grandchild. It’s absurd. Everyone is so outraged and demanding apologies or money. Just live your life and try to be a decent person.”
“She needs to mind her own business and look forward, not backward. We don’t need to apologize for what was accepted all those years ago,” added Ned Collins from the U.K. Kathy D from Middlesex remarked, “So two future kings have apologized. But she’s still calling for an apology?” Roland G from Herts, U.K., added, “I’ve never owned a slave, and you’ve never been one. Get over it!”
With all this controversy surrounding Whoopi Goldberg on The View, the big question remains: Is she still considered an asset by the executives at ABC?
