Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View,” recently left the talk show’s set during a discussion about foot fetishes. The incident was sparked by a comment from co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, causing Goldberg to abruptly exit. Griffin playfully suggested, “You have to entertain your partner’s kink, within reason,” prompting Goldberg’s departure.
Joy Behar questioned Goldberg’s exit, and she humorously explained that she was so captivated by the conversation that she needed a moment to compose herself. Goldberg returned with a grin, jokingly stating, “This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move,” and amusingly remarked about her own feet.

This isn’t the first time Goldberg has left during a heated discussion on “The View.” Last year, she walked out during a debate about Miranda Lambert’s confrontation with fans taking selfies during a concert. Goldberg defended Lambert’s stance on respecting artists during performances and, challenged by co-host Sunny Hostin, left the set to take selfies with the audience.
Goldberg’s candid exits have become a trademark of her talk show appearances, providing an unexpected and humorous element to the conversation. Opinions on her exits may vary, with some finding them entertaining and others considering them disruptive to the flow of the discussion. Regardless, Goldberg’s ability to make a lasting impression and keep viewers entertained is undeniable.
