Whoopi Goldberg hit back at an audience member as “The View” cameras rolled on January 18, after she heard them utter from the crowd that she was an “old broad.” Ouch! The whole thing was caught on camera too, as Goldberg started the show by discussing their first topic, before stopping, looking at the audience member, and asking, “Did you just call me an old broad?” (via The Jasmine Brand). Her co-stars clearly didn’t hear the comment and asked if it really happened, to which Goldberg clarified it did. Sunny Hostin then chimed in, “It’s Wednesday!” before Goldberg hit back and asserted, “She said, ‘You old broad,’ and I was like, ‘Hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it.'” The camera then cut to the woman, who was wearing a black mask and a large fur hat, but, thankfully, it all seemed to be in goof fun. Goldberg and the audience all laughed over the comment, and she appeared to take it all in her stride before carrying on with the show.

Of course, this is hardly the only time someone’s been called out over something they said on “The View,” and it’s not even the first time an audience member had felt a co-hosts wrath. “The View” stars have hit back at their audience members on a few occasions now, including when Goldberg responded to a group of climate change protestors who ambushed the studio.
