Whoopi Goldberg ‘livid’ over ‘humiliating’ suspension from The View, threatening to quit – report

Whoopi Goldberg is reportedly “livid” over ABC’s decision to suspend her from The View and is threatening to quit the talk show for good after her comments about the Holocaust prompted outrage earlier this week.

The Sister Act star came under fire after declaring the Holocaust “isn’t about race” when discussing the banning of Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus – a story about the Nazi regime – by a Tennessee school district.

Goldberg asserted the systematic, state-sponsored genocide of six million Jews by a German regime who believed themselves racially superior was instead about “man’s inhumanity to man”, adding that it occurred between “two groups of white people”.

The television personality allegedly now feels “humiliated” by the powers that be at ABC after she followed their advice to publicly apologise for her remarks.

“She feels ABC executives mishandled this,” a source told the New York Post.

“She followed their playbook. She went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and then apologised again on The View the next day.

“Her ego has been hurt and she’s telling people she’s going to quit,” the source continued. “Suspension from The View is like getting suspended from (reality TV network) Bravo. The bar is very low.” – Source
