The TV host and actress said the bakery wouldn’t serve her because “they didn’t like my politics.”
Whoopi Goldberg said on a recent episode of
The View that a Staten Island bakery refused to fill her birthday order because of her political views.
The claim came at a time when Goldberg was celebrating her 69th birthday
with her co-hosts and Charlotte Russe desserts,
a New York treat she remembered as her late mother’s favorite.
Goldberg said on the show that her order almost didn’t
happen because the bakery gave her different reasons, such as “their ovens had gone down.”
She also said that the refusal was because of how liberal she was,
not because she was a woman, but she didn’t name the bakery.
Goldberg said, “They didn’t like my politics.” Even though it was said to be a snub,
Goldberg’s team was able to get the desserts
, which she then told everyone to enjoy in honor of her mother’s memory.
