WHOOPI Goldberg discussed her private underwear on live daytime TV while moderating The View.
Famed actress and horror icon Christina Ricci was a guest on Wednesday’s episode of The View.
When Whoopi introduced her, she mentioned that the last time Christina was on the show was via Zoom because of the pandemic.
Christina replied, “That’s right! I totally forgot I was doing that too. because you just forget things when you’re in your house.”
Joy Behar said, “By the way, where did the years go? It’s been two years.”
Then Sunny intervened: “We did the show at home for almost a year and a half.”
That’s when Whoopi made a NSFW and awkward statement about her underwear.
Whoopi said, “I had to wear my underwear the whole time we got back.”
While the other hosts laughed awkwardly, Christina added that she was disappointed that she had to wear “normal shoes”.
WHOOPY WHOOPY
Whoopi has apologized to offended fans of the daytime TV show after she accidentally dropped an offensive word live on air.

The moment came as the hosts were discussing Donald Trump and his alleged relationship with Stormy Daniels.
When referring to Trump supporters, Whoopi used an offensive slang term for the word “deluded.”
The moderator said, “People who still believe that he was somehow cheated in the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife to pay that money out of his personal business.”
The term comes from the word “gy**y,” which is “commonly used to describe the gypsy people, but … has many negative connotations,” according to NPR.
After seeing Whoopi use the word, one fan tweeted Whoopi and took to social media asking her to stop using the term.
Another shocked viewer wrote: “Whoopi did I hear you right? Did you just say “f**ked??”
After seeing the backlash online, Whoopi took a moment to pay attention and apologize.
She said: “You know, when you’re a certain age, you use words that you know from childhood or you remember saying and that’s what I did today and I shouldn’t have.
“I should have thought about it a little longer before I said it, but I didn’t and I should have said ‘deluded’ and I used a different word and I’m very, very sorry.”
GOOD BEHAVIOR
The movie star and host came under fire from fans this week for her strange on-air behavior during Wednesday’s episode.
Viewers shouted at the host for talking with her mouth full and asked her to “stop” doing it on the show.
As the show’s moderator, Whoopi is responsible for welcoming viewers to the program and introducing them to the next segment.
Unfortunately, she does this while still eating whatever she grabbed during her break.
Exasperated fans took to Twitter to write: “Ugh stop chewing Whoopi” and “What is Whoopi eating?!”
