Whoopi Goldberg’s comments about the Holocaust have caused her a lot as her network ABC decided to suspend her from The View.
ABC’s decision made Goldberg feel “humiliated” and she even threatened her network that she is going to quit as she told her co-workers, the source said.

According to the New York Post:
Whoopi Goldberg is “livid” after she was suspended from “The View” over her claim that the Holocaust was “not about race” — and is telling co-workers she is going to quit the show, according to a source.
Goldberg, 66, feels “humiliated” at being disciplined by ABC execs after she followed their advice to apologize for the ill-conceived comments, a well-placed insider told The Post.
“She feels ABC executives mishandled this. She followed their playbook. She went on ‘The Late Show With Steven Colbert’ and then apologized again on ‘The View’ the next day,” a source said.
The source added that while Goldberg is taking the suspension hard and says she wants to leave the show, insiders believe she’s likely just sounding off.
“Her ego has been hurt and she’s telling people she’s going to quit,” the source said. “Suspension from ‘The View’ is like getting suspended from Bravo. The bar is very low.”
Reps for Goldberg and ABC did not return requests for comment.
Lucky her, a privileged liberal woman like her won’t get to experience how it feels to be “canceled” after what she said.
So as a privileged liberal all she needs to do is to take a 2-week vacation and “think about” what she did.
But according to our source, it seems like only a few people like Goldberg as they said that staffers at ABC are furious that she wasn’t fired.
Grab your popcorn, this might get really good!
