Whoopi Goldberg Exits Painful Discussion at ‘The View’ Table

Whoopi Goldberg recently made headlines during an episode of The View for her visibly pained response to a discussion. The topic focused on Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid’s affair confession shortly after his bronze medal win at the Winter Olympics. This segment occurred on a Thursday, and Goldberg’s struggles became a highlight of the episode.

Whoopi Goldberg Struggles During Discussion

The 70-year-old actress began the segment by expressing her confusion. “Stay with me on this,” she urged her co-hosts, but it was clear she was disengaged from the topic at hand. Goldberg struggled to maintain her composure as Joy Behar pointed out the inconvenient details of the affair.

Co-hosts Step In

As the conversation progressed, Goldberg’s discomfort was evident. She shook her head in disgust when the topic turned to Lægreid’s relationship. Joy Behar interjected a humorous note, saying, “They’re just cold!” to lighten the mood.

• Ana Navarro encouraged Goldberg to stay engaged, saying, “Stay with us, Whoopi!”
• Sara Haines noted that the length of the relationship made the affair less significant.
• Sunny Hostin defended Lægreid, emphasizing his public apology.

Despite attempts by her colleagues to keep the conversation lively, Goldberg appeared increasingly overwhelmed. At one point, she attempted to stand up, exclaiming, “I’m out,” which elicited laughter from the audience. Behar playfully told her, “You’re excused from this conversation. Take a nap,” to which Goldberg agreed.

Segment Conclusion

Finally, Goldberg decided to end the discussion altogether. She announced, “You know what? I’ll get this all straightened out. We’ll be right back,” signaling a commercial break.

Although Goldberg displayed signs of distress during this particular segment, it didn’t escalate into her infamous “Full Goldberg Collapse.” In the past, similar conversations on topics such as celebrity couples and political events have led to her losing consciousness at the table.
