Fans of the ABC Daytime talk show “The View” want Whoopi Goldberg fired, or have fewer working days, after a series of incidents on the show.
Earlier this month, Goldberg cussed at she was talking about parenting and made fans furious.
“Sometimes you have to be an ass to be a parent,” she said.
One fan said, “Someone needs to start pushing back on Whoopi. I have a feeling someone will not let her interject one day which will cause Whoopi to go full-on nuts honestly. She has gotten exponentially worse this season so I hope next time Contract negotiations are up it’s time to go, or work less days.”
Another fan said, “… I have no idea what ABC thinks is happening here. They take several women, with no real credibility and let them mouth off day after day and they’re surprised that one day someone says something stupid?”
Goldberg was recently suspended for comments she made that were seen as anti-Semitic.
She said that the Holocaust wasn’t about race and that the Holocaust involved “two white groups of people.”
She issued an apology on Twitter:
On today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man’. I should have said it is about both.
The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.
The Daily Mail reported:
Whoopi Goldberg’s suspension from The View this week is the pinnacle of a years-long habit of making off-color remarks about Jewish people that includes a recipe she wrote for a celebrity cookbook in the 1990s called ‘Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken’.
In 1993, Goldberg–whose real name is Caryn Johnson–submitted the recipe to Cooking in The Litchfield Hills, a charity cookbook comprised of recipes from well-heeled residents of the leafy Connecticut suburb.
The Anti-Defamation League chastised her for the recipe.
“It’s a lousy recipe with insensitive and anti-Semitic ingredients. Whoopi should know better,” the group said.
She needs some sensitivity training, unfortunately. The good people who published it need some sensitivity training too.”
The Conservative Brief reported:
Reports now indicate that Goldberg is furious with her suspension from “The View” and is considering quitting the show.
ABC News President Kim Godwin said that Goldberg would be suspended for “her wrong and hurtful comments” about the Holocaust, where she claimed the Holocaust was “not about race.”
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin said. “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family, and communities.”
I believed that Whoopie should not be fired over what she say. She apology & had a 2 weeks suspension which I thought she shoukd have got. I am in my 60’s & until this happen I thought Jewish was a religion. Everybody make mistake & sometimes un educated for some things. We didn’t talked about different religion & nationalities when I was a child. I didn’t even no about prejudice until my mother moved my brother & I to a different part of the city & I went to hi school.
Whoopi sucks, I mean really? Whoopi? wth kind of name is that anyways…??? smh
