The co-host couldn't hide her amused shock after a heckler in the audience called her an 'old broad' during a recent taping of the show.

The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg couldn't hide her amused shock after a heckler in the studio audience called her an "old broad," leading to a confrontation that has since gone viral.

Goldberg was preparing to start the show when the heckler yelled out their remark during the January 18 taping of the show.


The heckler—a woman wearing a fur hat who was sitting with a group of other women—was quickly shut down.

You can hear what Goldberg said in the video below.

Upon hearing the remark, Goldberg gave a very good-humored response:

“Did you just call me an old broad? Yeah?”
"She said, 'You old broad,' and I was like, hey, it's Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it."

Goldberg's co-host Sunny Hostin jumped to her colleague's defense, positing that being an “old broad” is better than “the alternative,” to which Goldberg responded:

"The alternative is not attractive to any of us. We all want to be old broads and old dudes, you know?”

The episode continued as scheduled but the camera kept cutting to a shot of the woman, who sat in a row of chairs next to the stage.

Many appreciated Goldberg's response.


Goldberg is no stranger to clapping back at criticism during her time at The View.

In October, she responded to a critique of her appearance in a review of the movie Till that claimed Goldberg wore a fat suit to portray Alma Carthan, the grandmother of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Black boy whose brutal murder and the fact his killers were acquitted made him a posthumous icon of the civil rights movement.

Goldberg said at the time:

“There was a young lady who writes for one of the magazines, and she was distracted by my fat suit, in her review. I don’t really care how you felt about the movie, but you should know that was not a fat suit, that was me. That was steroids."
"Remember last year? I assume you don’t watch the show, or you would know that was not a fat suit.”

Goldberg said film reviewers should just "comment on the acting," adding that it's acceptable to "not be a fan of [the] movie, but you want to leave people’s looks out."

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
