The live segment was tough to watch
On February 21st, The View lived up to its name, though maybe not in a way fans wanted.
Whoopi Goldberg, who had recently returned after her controversial remarks and two-suspension, kicked off the segment on guest etiquette titled “Should guests honor a host’s ‘no-shoes’ rule?”
But the discussion wasn’t the only thing that got kicked off.
“You cannot tell people what you will or will not do when they’ve invited you to their home,” Whoopi began on how guests should honor house rules.
“Well, not everyone has gorgeous feet like I have,” Joy then chimed in, lifting up her leg and dropping her bare pedicured foot on the table.
“Zoom in!” co-host Sara joked, as Sunny then exposed her foot as well.
Baffled fans flooded the comments section but less so to discuss the topic at hand (or foot), than the strange segment just days after Whoopi’s return.
‘I CHANGED THE CHANNEL’
“I’m good. No need to ever show your bare feet again, thanks,” one Twitter user wrote under the clip.
“Bare feet on the table? Nope! That went on for far too long..” wrote another.
“Right when I think this show has hit a low it gets more disgusting,” wrote a third.
“Yeah this was gross. I changed the channel,” wrote a fourth.
“It’s day 6 of Whoopi being back,” noted a fifth, referencing her controversial return.
WHOOPI’S SUSPENSION
Whoopi was suspended for two weeks following her controversial Holocaust remarks.
During a January 31, 2022 episode, Goldberg received pushback after claiming the Holocaust was not “about race.”
Goldberg’s comments came only days after Holocaust Remembrance Day.
During the episode, The View’s show had been discussing the recent scandal after a Tennessee school board voted to remove the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus from an eighth-grade language arts curriculum.
The book depicts Jews being tortured and murdered by the Nazis during World War Two, and was apparently banned for featuring female nudity.
“I’m surprised that’s what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity. I mean, it’s about the Holocaust, the killing of 6 million people, but that didn’t bother you?” Whoopi asked.
“If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it,” she said.
“Because the Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race.”
Co-host Joy hit back: “Then what was it about?”
“It’s about man’s inhumanity to man,” Goldberg responded, again claiming Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution” was not about race.
“That’s what it’s about.”
Her comments drew ire from Jewish leaders and reportedly saw the star threaten to “quit” as she felt the backlash was “mishandled” by ABC.
On Tuesday, February 1, 2022, Whoopi released a statement on Twitter to apologize for her hurtful words and said she “misspoke”.
