Whoopi Goldberg was heckled by an audience member during the live broadcast of “The View” today.
The co-hosts were taking their seats to the cheers of the audience when one woman decided to switch it up and started to heckle Goldberg.
“Yeah, okay. We’re glad to see y’all! We’re glad to see ya’ll. All right. Cool,” Goldberg said.
“Well, go on and have a seat. All right. All right.”
Goldberg then turned to the heckler who called her an “old broad.”
“Did you just call me an old broad? Yeah?” Goldberg said to the woman.
“She said, ‘you old broad,’ and I was like, ‘hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin defended Goldberg by saying that it’s better to be an “old broad” than the alternative.
“The alternative is not attractive to any of us,” Goldberg said.
“We all want to be old broads and old dudes, you know?”
The camera then cut to a woman in a large fur hat who nodded to confirm that she did in fact heckle Goldberg.
“Excuse me, ladies, ladies, excuse me,” Goldberg said.
“Let us do our job.”
Goldberg then demanded that the woman be removed from the audience.
“We hear what you have to say, but you gotta go,” she said.
“Gotta go, you gotta let us do our job.
“You gotta let us do our job.”
WATCH:
Goldberg recently co-wrote a book called “Two Old Broads.”
The Amazon page says:
“Written by renowned surgeon and expert on the art of aging, Dr. M.E. Hecht, with her friend Whoopi Goldberg lending her unique point of view, Two Old Broads is laugh-out-loud funny and tells it like it is for all of us who left middle-age in the dust and want to be present, positive, and as extraordinary as ever in our golden years.”
