Don’t mess with Whoopi Goldberg — especially on live television! The 67-year-old star snapped back at a heckler who called her an “old broad” on Wednesday’s episode of The ViewThe audience cheered as Whoopi and her co-hosts took their seats around the talk show table — but Goldberg was rudely interrupted when she addressed the crowd.
“We’re happy to see ya’ll. Cool, well, go on and have a seat,” she said, noting the audience seemed to be a “very happy” one.
That’s when things took a turn.Whoopi’s glare suddenly fixated on a group of women off of the stage, particularly a mature-looking audience member in a fur hat. “Did you just call me an old broad? Yeah?” she asked the female at the beginning of the broadcast.
But Whoopi wouldn’t let the heckler get the last laugh.
“She said, ‘You old broad,’ and I was like, ‘hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it,’” she shot back while addressing the issue on live television.
Her co-host Sunny Hostin quickly jumped to Whoopi’s defense, cracking a joke that being described as an “old broad” is better than “the alternative.”
