The View’s Whoopi Goldberg shocks fans by eating and talking with her mouth full on live TV
WHOOPI Goldberg has stunned fans by indulging in treats while talking on national TV.
The View star has caused controversy among viewers as many have called for her retirement from the daytime talk show.
Now Whoopi, 66, has shocked fans every further after munching and talking with her mouth full on live television.
During Tuesday’s episode, one commercial break ended and cut to a clip of the comedian snacking on a scone with butter.
The TV personality held up her treat to the camera, also showing off a red knife smothered in topping as she struggled to finish her bite before beginning her monologue.
“Yeah, international superstar chef and longtime judge on the Great British bakeoff is sharing his expertise in his new book ‘Bake, My Best Ever Recipes for the Classics,'” she explained through a mouth filled with pastry.

“And he’s giving us a taste right now, that’s why my mouth is full,” Whoopi added, nodding her head back and forth.
“Please welcome Paul Hollywood!” the actress concluded before the cameras switched to show the full table of hosts.
Co-host Joy Behar then turned to Whoopi, saying: “Hollywood, that’s his real last name.”
The Sister Act star curtly replied: “That’s alright. But you have the first question, I’m going to continue to eat,” as she blatantly munched on her snack.

One fan took to Twitter to slam the actress for eating during the show writing: “Respectfully, with the dramatic increased cost of living, life costs and people drowning in debt, limit the affluence of expensive food on air in front of @TheView panel.
“And the panelists should never be “viewed” eating food on air. It’s rude. (Whoopi is always eating.)”
MONDAY SCARIES?
Whoopi has raised eyebrows among fans lately as many believe her time on The View should come to an end.
In Monday’s episode, the award-winner screwed up a US Senator’s name amid a series of on-screen blunders over the last several weeks.
She addressed the cameras while holding up Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock’s new book.
“The Senator Pastor who helped flip the peach state,” she began, tumbling over her words.
“…and the Senate blue shares his journey from childhood to the pulpit to politics in his hopeful new memoir ‘A Way Out of No Way,'” Whoopi continued, pausing frequently and with strange pacing.
She then finished her opener and directed her co-host Joy Behar to ask the first question as she gathered herself.
Later, after a commercial break, the television personality suffered yet another mistake.
“We’re back with Senator Reverend Ralph Warnock,” she began, butchering the representative’s actual name, Raphael.
Whoopi chuckled and waved her hands at the camera, saying: “I just… I just…,” before shaking her head in frustration.
One of her co-hosts asked: “What?” as she replied shortly: “I just conflated both of those things.”
“I should’ve made them separate,” she explained, while the Senator waited patiently to continue.
Whoopi rolled her eyes at her own mistake, adding: “Forgive me, Senator,” before allowing the other hosts to ask their questions.
Earlier in the episode, the mother-of-one repeated herself and tripped over her cue cards in yet another awkward moment.
CUE CARDS GONE WRONG
The TV personality was mid-conversation discussing President Joe Biden fist-bumping the Saudi Crown Prince when she glanced down at her cue cards in a moment of confusion.
“But I just wanted to read something that someone handed me,” she said, looking down at the desk in front of her.
“Which is ‘unfortunately sometimes you have to make decisions,'” Whoopi began, then quickly realized she had already said that line.
“That was me, I did just say that. He didn’t have to go to Saudi Arabia however, to find a country that’s violating human rights or a country that’s posing women,” she continued, trying to play off the mistake.

The Oscar winner then seemed to lose her train of thought and needed a producer to remind her of the topic on hand.
Fans have expressed over and over again that they want Whoopi to be replaced with someone else after forgetting names and projects when announcing them.
