Whoopi Goldberg Immediately Apologizes For Saying A “Rude” Remark Live On ‘The View’: “I Do Take It Back”

Whoopi Goldberg immediately regretted the words that came out of her mouth on this morning’s episode of The View , and took them back just seconds after she uttered them. While discussing how vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance reacted to Taylor Swift ‘s VMAs speech about voting, Goldberg let her emotions get the better of her.

While accepting the “Video of the Year” award, Swift — who recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — told the audience to register to vote, saying, in part, “If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important … [the] presidential election.”

Vance responded to Swift’s remarks in an interview with FOX yesterday, a portion of which The View played for its audience. Vance told the network that “most Americans” would not be “influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”

He continued, “When grocery prices go up by 20%, it hurts most Americans. It doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire. It does affect middle class Americans all over our country.”

When the clip concluded, Goldberg was visibly annoyed by the Ohio politician’s words.

“You don’t know what affects her. You don’t know about her money,” she exclaimed, before adding, “Shut up, J.D.”

As she continued, “When we come back, we’re gonna talk more about this,” Goldberg interrupted herself to say, “I’m sorry, that was very rude — stop talking, J.D.”

When the show returned from commercial break, Goldberg was still apologetic, telling viewers, “The reason I apologized is because I hate when people tell me, pundits tell me to shut up. So, it’s not a nice thing to say. So I do take it back, but the implication is, hush!”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
