ABC’s statement regarding the decision not to renew the contracts of Goldberg and Behar has raised eyebrows and questions,”
On March 15, 2024, the SpaceXMania.com website published an article positing that ABC chose to not renew contracts for “The View” hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar because they were “toxic”:
“Hope this it true. Been long overdue,” one Facebook user posted of the purported news.
“Put an end to their toxicity,” another person said.
“Amen!,” a third user added.
However, this story was not true. spaceXmania is a website that describes some of its output as being satirical in nature, both on its “About Us” page and as a label above articles.
In other words, there was no genuine news about Goldberg, Behar or any other host leaving “The View.”
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg did not further address the back-and-forth between herself and a Staten Island bakery, during “The View” on Monday, after she accused the bakery of denying her service over her politics.
Goldberg and her co-hosts celebrated her 69th birthday on Wednesday with Charlotte Russe desserts, a nostalgic New York treat. Goldberg told the audience her birthday order had almost fallen through due to what she claimed was the bakery’s objection to her left-wing political stance.
“They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them,” said Goldberg. She suggested they might have denied the order because “they did not like my politics.”
The bakery was later identified as Holtermann’s Bakery, a 145-year-old family-owned establishment on Staten Island, by examining the Charlotte Russe desserts themselves.
