This isn’t the first time Whoopi has experienced a tense moment on The View.
Last week, she left co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin speechless when she warned her not to talk about her cheating ex-boyfriend.
During the episode, Alyssa revealed her ex was unfaithful with “several women” and even brought one of the women on vacation with them.
WHOOPI’S WARNING
Alyssa – who is now happily married to Justin Griffin – added: “And kept emailing me from Hawaii to say that he wanted to reconcile with me-“
Whoopi pointed a stern finger at Alyssa and cut in: ” – I’m just going to remind you about your business.”
Alyssa stopped talking and winced, looking sheepish.
Whoopi went on: “Telling your business on him because it can open up a can of worms.”
MAJOR MOVIE
It is about Mamie Till, an activist who sought justice after her 14-year-old son Emmett was lynched.
Meanwhile, aside from The View, Whoopi is starring in a new movie – the biographical drama Till.
Whoopi stars as Alma Carthan, Mamie’s grandmother and appears in a trailer she shared for the project earlier this month.
She appears alongside Danielle Deadwyler and Jalyn Hall in the powerful drama, which was directed by Chinonye Chukwu.
Whoopi recently lashed out at a critic for The Daily Beast who claimed she was wearing a “distracting fat suit” in the movie.
“There was a young lady who writes for one of the magazines, and she was distracted by my fat suit, in her review,” she said on The View.
“I don’t really care how you felt about the movie, but you should know that was not a fat suit, that was me. I assume you don’t watch the show, or you would know that was not a fat suit.”
She continued: “It’s OK not to be a fan of the movie, but you want to leave people’s looks out.
