Whoopi Goldberg, the 68-year-old co-host of “The View,” has once again made headlines for her dramatic exit from the show. During a recent episode, the hosts were discussing a Guardian advice column where a person revealed that their spouse had stopped allowing foot massages due to a fetish revelation.
The conversation took an amusing turn when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin commented that you have to entertain your partner’s kink, within reason. As Griffin made this remark, Goldberg abruptly stood up and left the stage, saying, “Excuse me for a second. Keep talking!” The moment was seized by Griffin, who playfully announced, “Whoopi has left the building.”
When questioned by panelist Joy Behar about her departure, Goldberg responded in her usual candid manner. Instead of providing a straightforward answer, she seemed to hand something off-camera and joked, “I was so enamored by what you were saying that I felt that I needed to take a breath so I could just get myself together.”
Goldberg then quipped, “This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move,” returning to the stage with a grin on her face. She concluded with a lighthearted remark about her feet, saying, “I don’t care ’cause my feet are huge, and no one wants to touch them!”
This isn’t the first time Goldberg has left the table during a heated discussion on “The View.” In a notable incident last year, she walked off the set over a debate about Miranda Lambert’s confrontation with fans taking selfies during a concert. Expressing her irritation, Goldberg defended Lambert’s stance on respecting the artist during performances. When co-host Sunny Hostin challenged her perspective, Goldberg stood up and declared, “I’m leaving, y’all!” She then proceeded to take selfies with audience members to emphasize her point.
Many people have different opinions on celebrities walking off talk show sets in response to uncomfortable or unexpected topics. Some find Goldberg’s candid reactions entertaining, while others see them as disruptive. It’s a topic that sparks debate and generates conversation among fans of the show.
