Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes After Saying Romani Slur on ‘The View’: ‘I Shouldn’t Have’ Used Certain Words

The Saturday, April 1, episode of Saturday Night Live started like any other — until Colin Jost did not receive any laughs during his “Weekend Update” segment.

After months of speculation, this week saw Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pull the trigger by indicting twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump on what’s reported to be more than 30 charges of financial fraud, including the hush-money payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The woman at the centre of former president Donald Trump’s indictment has revealed both good and bad will come from the outcome of next week’s proceedings, when Trump must turn himself in to prosecutors. 

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor If nothing else, $44 billion has bought Twitter power-user Elon Musk status as the No. 1 most-followed account on the social network. As of Thursday morning, Musk had 133.088 million users — up more than 20% since he closed the Twitter deal last October. That pushed the billionaire ahead of the previously most-followed account, that of Barack Obama, who currently has about 133.042 million followers. (To be sure, this is according to the public counters operated by Twitter, which Musk controls.) Musk, a self-proclaimed free-speech “absolutist,” is notoriously fond of posting memes and jokes on Twitter. (Prior to his acquisition, according to Twitter’s legal team, Musk also used the service to disparage the company and its employees.) Musk has claimed he did not buy the company “to make more money” but to “try to help humanity, whom I love.” He also has said he was “obviously overpaying” for Twitter.

On Tuesday’s “The Late Show,” host Stephen Colbert unsurprisingly took a moment to lay into Donald Trump’s Monday night Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, playing clips of the former president’s “rambling” answers and his refusal to play along with some of Hannity’s soft-ball questions. When it came to answering to the photo he posted to Truth Social depicting himself holding a baseball bat over Manhattan DA Alvin Brigg’s head, Trump’s response didn’t satisfy Colbert.

Times have changed. Lionel Richie revealed “All Night Long” was written about the long, sexy romps of his youth, but he can’t quite go for a full eight hours anymore.

routine criticism bit.Bassett, the Jackson-based network’s first chief meteorologist, was let go from her desk after uttering a racial epithet — “fo shizzle, my nizzle” — on air while reporting on rapper Snoop Dogg’s latest addition to his Cali wine line.Following the on-screen gaffe, which quickly went viral on social media, Bassett was removed from the station’s team page online and has been absent from broadcasts since March 8.Goldberg, 67, said it’s “hard to keep up” with the seemingly ever-changing social rules of what people can and can’t say — especially “if you’re a person of a certain age.”“There has to be a book of stuff that nobody could ever say, ever, ever, ever. Include everything,” Goldberg said.

New York Post.“I think he’s hostile to the United States, but I think the thing that we’ve seen is he doesn’t have the conventional capability to realize his ambitions,” DeSantis said of the Russian president. “And so, he’s basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons and one of the things we could be doing better is utilizing our own energy resources in the U.S.”After the 2022 midterm elections McCain expressed her support for DeSantis, calling Trump a “narcissist” and a “cancer.”GROW.

Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has sparked rumours of a rift within his family after reportedly missing both of his daughters' weddings. Charles Spencer, 58, is believed to have been absent as Lady Amelia, 30, married Greg Mallett, 30, in South Africa earlier this week.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t officially declared himself a candidate for the 2024 presidential election at this point, and that’s fine by Whoopi Goldberg and the hosts of “The View.” That’s because, as Whoopi so bluntly put it on Thursday morning, DeSantis is “not ready for America.”To kick off the day’s Hot Topics discussion, the women discussed their opinions on how DeSantis has positioned himself politically thus far, particularly with his responses to twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s attacks, as well as DeSantis’ own gripes about “wokeness.”When Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines began debating if DeSantis is actually playing a smart long game, having gone to both Yale and Harvard, Whoopi noted that DeSantis’ degrees don’t mean much to her.“Just because people have education, doesn’t mean they have any kind of real sense,” Whoopi said.

James Corden poked fun at Donald Trump on The Late Late Show – claiming that he is “guilty as sin” after the former president declared that he was going go be arrested.Trump is facing criminal charges in Manhattan related to an investigation into a $130,000 (£106,000) payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, reports BBC News.Over the weekend, Trump announced on Truth Socialthat he would be arrested on “Tuesday of next week,” without revealing further context on why the arrest would take place.Speaking on his talk show, Corden jokingly said: “You know it’s bad when a former president announces that he’s going to be arrested and the general response is: ‘For which crime’?“So if you’re keeping track, that’s two times Stormy Daniels has screwed Donald Trump.” New York City has reportedly been bracing for a violent protest similar to the January 6 ‘insurrection’ riots, after Trump told his supporters to “take our nation back.”“Of course Trump is going to urge his supporters to protest in New York,” Corden continued. “Like what else is he going to urge them to do?.

Thania Garcia Twice’s Chaeyoung issued an apology on Tuesday after she uploaded a photo of her wearing a t-shirt with a swastika symbol. This comes just days after the K-pop singer was seen performing in a QAnon shirt for the South Korean music television program “Show! Music Core.” In the photo, which has since been deleted, Chaeyoung posed wearing a shirt with the Sex Pistols‘ Sid Vicious sporting a swastika — associated Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi party — on his shirt. “Hello, this is Chaeyoung from Twice. I sincerely apologize regarding the Instagram post. I didn’t correctly recognize the meaning of the tilted swastika in the t-shirt I wore,” she said in a statement, written in both English and Korean, via Instagram. “I deeply apologize for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern. I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again. Sincerely apologize again.”

Whoopi Goldberg’s appearance during Monday’s episode of “The View.”Goldberg, who has been wearing eyeglasses for 28 years, hosted without them, explaining during the “Hot Topics” segment that she had undergone eye surgery over the weekend. “I had an operation, and they replaced the lens and the lens they replaced it with is kind of like my eyeglass lens,” the 67-year-old announced.

With the 2024 presidential election getting closer, twice-impeached former president is turning hard on his party (or at least, those who have fallen out of step with him). It’s getting to a point where Seth Meyers thinks it’s not outside the realm of possibility for Trump to eventually backtrack his long criticisms of Barack Obama.During his “A Closer Look” segment on Thursday night, Meyers mocked Florida governor Ron DeSantis for attracting “the bloodshot Eye of Sauron” as he potentially gets closer to announcing a presidential bid.

The View.On Wednesday’s episode (March 15) of the US talk show, the panel discussed Donald Trump’s alleged connection to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. Goldberg then segued into a point about Trump’s larger support base.“The people who still believe that he got, you know, gyp**d somehow in the election, will still believe that he cared enough about his wife to pay the… “ Goldberg said, pausing to burp.

one Twitter user wrote.“She burped. They are soooo loud and talking over each other,” another user responded.“Wait did Whoopi just fart on national tv #TheView,” another asked.“Sure did,” said a responder.The talk show was interrupted weeks ago by another odd fart noise.In January, during a serious discussion about classified documents found at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home, a drink spilled and began leaking off the table.Goldberg pointed out to co-host Sara Haines that something was dripping, and as Haines looked down to see, she moved a little in her seat while what appeared to be a fart noise sounded on the mic.“We had a little spillage on the other side of the table,” co-host Alyssa Farah said, laughing and appearing a bit flustered. “Now it’s on my pants,” Haines said as she and Goldberg tried to clean up the spill.“The View” has had its share of unwanted interruptions in recent years.Last year, Joy Behar face-planted in front of the audience — which caused the show to unveil new chairs on set.More recently, Goldberg was heckled by an audience member who called her an “old broad” on live television.
