Several hosts on “The View” expressed remorse for what they said about Kate Middleton, but Whoopi Goldberg was not one of them. Plenty of celebrities spoke out about Kate’s disappearance, and Goldberg was one of them, but she never added to the speculation. Instead, she defended the Princess of Wales. In early March, when Kate’s Photoshop error became big news, the “Sister Act” star stood behind the royal. She shared, “When you buy into this stuff, when they start doing it to your family, or they start doing it to your kids, it’s not cute. It’s not fun. It really irritates me.” Goldberg had the right mindset when defending the Princess of Wales as her cancer diagnosis has since come to light.
On the March 25 episode of “The View,” where her fellow co-hosts apologized for adding to the speculation, Goldberg revealed she chose to keep quiet because “once you’ve had this experience, it can scar you.” Her fellow co-hosts praised Goldberg for refraining from adding to the theories. The talk show host knew that, because of the platform she and her co-hosts have, it can only add to any media frenzy. She explained, “If I think that there is an edge, I’ll always say, ‘Listen, please, think about this.’ Because what you don’t know is what we say here doesn’t stay here, it goes across the pond, it goes on the internet, and people, as you know, manipulate stuff.”
