Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to sharing her opinion on television, but one of the more recent ones she shared exposed a habit social media users are skeptical of.
The View co-host recently discussed the buzz surrounding Congresswoman Katie Porter, whose viral moment of berating a staff member on camera last year resurfaced. Mid-conversation, she defended the politician, and even mentioned that she has “yelled” at people on the infamous tall show. This backstage reveal took people by surprise and prompted a lot of backlash from social media users. Read more about the situation below.

Whoopi Goldberg Defends Katie Porter & Reveals She's 'Yelled' At People On 'The View'
There's a whole lot going on in the world of politics right now, but one person causing a stir recently is Congresswoman Katie Porter, after her performance in the recent California Governor's Debate.
Due to the debate and the Congresswoman's campaign, her past is being resurfaced, especially a very viral and controversial moment when she was caught yelling at a staffer on camera in 2021. She was seen and heard yelling at someone to "get out of her shot" while posing for cameras in a video that circulated for a while after it was shared, and has found its way back onto social media again.
The video and backlash prompted a conversation on The View, where Whoopi and the other women talked about her performance in the debate, especially after she acknowledged her "temperament" versus her male opponent's temperaments during a statement.
"I like the fact that she said, wait a minute, men?!" Whoopi responded. "Let's talk about y'all because there's like 45 of y'all and one of me. And maybe she does yell at people. I yell at people. You yell at people. You yell at people, and sometimes it's not nice."
Social Media Slams Whoopi Following Her Statements
After the episode of the talk show aired, the Sister Act actress's statements about "yelling" at people really stood out to media outlets and others on social media. Users online accused Whoopi of being "mean" and roasted her on various platforms.
"These women are mean and verbally abusive," responded an X user about the women on The View.
"Bad people making excuses for other bad people," added another.
One X user called the television personality "a horrible person," as another noted, "Didn't Ellen DeGeneres yell at her staff and it got her fired?"
We'll be curious to see if Whoopi decides to elaborate on her comments, defending herself or clapping back at these social media users. However, it's become pretty clear that it only further ignited a narrative that she's a harsher person behind the scenes of her show.
