Whoopi Goldberg Blasts Donald Trump Over His Truth Social Comments Directed At Her
The 68-year-old comedian has responded to a shady comment Trump made about her, implying that she's not wanted anywhere.
Hours before his New York hush money trial resumed on Monday, the former president reposted a meme on Truth Social platform that showed a doctored photo of Goldberg with the caption, "I'm moving to Canada for sure this time!"

"You know what I'm a little agitated about?" Goldberg said, "That man has something to say to me; he saw a meme that said I was leaving the country. People always see these crazy memes that say I'm gonna leave the country if he gets in there. Somebody else said I was leaving and sent suggestions for people to take my place."
"Look, I'm not going anywhere," she continued. "And it's not for the reason – you little snowflake – it's not for the reason you think. He said nobody wanted me. Honey, you know what, it wouldn't matter if no one here wanted me. I know where I'm going to be because I got a contract so I'm going to be here where I'm wanted for the next couple of years."
The Actress Slammed Donald Trump For His 'Anti-White' Comment
Goldberg and Trump's back-and-forth is well known, as she constantly confronts him whenever he makes a controversial remark.
During an interview with Time Magazine, Trump alleged that the Biden administration is "sort of against anybody depending on certain views," adding that "there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country."
Goldberg slammed the billionaire politician and pointed out some challenges he didn't have to go through simply because of his skin color.
"Nobody in your family was hung. Nobody in your family was chased because of the color of their skin. How dare you? There's no anti-white issue here," Goldberg said. "You are perpetrating [sic] anti-humanist issues here."
Even Audience Members Get Called Out By Whoopi Goldberg When They Misstep
Goldberg also doesn't shy away from addressing members of the audience if she finds them out of line.
According to Deadline, she recently stopped the show to correct a member of the audience who was recording proceedings on the show with a cellphone.
"Hold on a second," Goldberg sternly said as she walked up to him. "I have to stop you with the camera because I can see you. Do me a favor: Don't pull it out again. I'd appreciate that. Thank you."
Her co-hosts on the show, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, were visibly puzzled by the interruption, which happened during a discussion of Trump's legal problems.
"What was he doing?" Behar asked, with Haines responding, "Recording."
The Comedienne Opened Up About Her Cocaine Addiction
Goldberg recently documented her past struggles with substance abuse before she became famous in her memoir, "Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me."
"I had stayed pretty far away from drugs, except for pot, after getting cleaned up in the early 70s," the Oscar winner noted per Page Six.
"I was invited to parties where I was greeted at the door with a bowl of Quaaludes from which I could pick what I wanted," Goldberg recounted. "Lines of cocaine were laid across tables and bathroom counters for the taking."
She went on to note that she did that for about a year and didn't encounter any problems as she was able to hide it and continue working.
It wasn't long after that she began feeling like cocaine "started to kick [her] a-s" as she started hallucinating and seeing things.
How Whoopi Goldberg Broke Free Of Her Cocaine Addiction
In her memoir, Goldberg recounted the harrowing depths of her cocaine addiction. She vividly described hallucinations, such as seeing a dangerous creature under her bed, which led her to immobilize herself in fear for twenty-four hours.
"So I didn't move out of bed for twenty-four hours," Goldberg shared. "That kind of sh-t doesn't end pretty. There's only so long a person can hold their bladder."
As her addiction escalated, the actress disclosed that she experienced a "slap in the face moment" in a Manhattan hotel room, where a startled housekeeper discovered her amid drug use in a closet.
Goldberg wrote that as she stood up to explain to the housekeeper that it was her room, she was confronted with her reflection in the mirror smeared with cocaine.
After the incident, the comedienne said she was resolved to break free from the grip of drugs and considers herself lucky that she was "able to stop using drugs quickly."
"I knew I'd have to change out my friends and turn down invitations, but I could do that," she wrote. "I didn't want to die."
