Whoopi Goldberg ‘Livid’ Over Suspension; Threatening to Quit ‘The View’!
We previously reported that ABC “The View” has suspended Whoopi Goldberg over her claim that the Holocaust was “not about race…”
CelebnMusic247.com reports that Goldberg, 66, feels “humiliated” at being disciplined by ABC execs after she followed their advice to apologize for the ill-conceived comments, a well-placed insider told The Post.
According to a source:
She feels ABC executives mishandled this. She followed their playbook. She went on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ and then apologized again on ‘The View’ the next day.
The source added that while Goldberg is taking the suspension hard and says she wants to leave the show, insiders believe she’s likely just sounding off.
“Her ego has been hurt and she’s telling people she’s going to quit…Suspension from ‘The View’ is like getting suspended from Bravo. The bar is very low,” the source said.
Reps for Goldberg and ABC did not return requests for comment.
Where Whoopi Goldberg was Wrong:
Goldberg raised eyebrows on “The View” Monday when she insisted that Nazis and Jews were both white. Higher-ups at the network urged Goldberg to make amends on “The Late Show” that evening but she repeated the statement while attempting to clarify her comments. The next day, she invited Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt on the show to discuss her offensive remarks and to apologize again.
Yes, Nazis and Jews are both white, but Nazis were elitist that killed anyone they deemed beneath them, so the comment was WRONG!
Goldberg made it worse when she argued that the Holocaust went beyond race during a discussion on “The View” about a Tennessee school district’s decision to ban “Maus,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor.
Goldberg said:
The Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race…It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.
