Why Are Netizens Calling Whoopi Goldberg ‘Tone-Deaf’ After Her Latest Remark? Controversy Explained

As an ardent admirer of Whoopi Goldberg, I find myself torn between my respect for her as a trailblazing artist and the mounting concerns about her recent statements. It seems that the line between empathy and hypocrisy is becoming blurred for our beloved host.


Online users are accusing Whoopi Goldberg of hypocrisy! During a recent episode of “The View,” the host made a statement likening her situation to that of working-class and middle-class Americans who are finding it challenging to make ends meet due to inflation. On November 12, she said, “I understand people are struggling. I’m in the same boat. I work for a living” following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.

If I had endless wealth, I wouldn’t be in this situation, you understand? Therefore, I’m someone who works for a living. She continued to discuss her family’s difficulties, detailing how they navigate their lives amidst our present economic conditions. “My child must provide food for their family. My great-granddaughter needs to be cared for by her own family. I recognize it’s tough out there,” Goldberg expressed.

However, people online swiftly criticized the EGOT winner, labeling her statement as “insensitive” and detached from reality. One user on X (previously known as Twitter) commented, “Whoopi Goldberg claims she’s a ‘working class American,’ yet her family faces difficulties buying groceries… She boasts a net worth of $45 MILLION.

The individual expressed they find her extremely out of touch with music, almost comically so. They can’t comprehend why anyone would genuinely watch her, other than to make fun of her. Another person humorously suggested that if Goldberg represents the working class, then everyone else must be in a struggling or impoverished state.

It has been suggested by some people that highly-paid actresses, like her, are disconnected from reality and thus make illogical comments. For instance, one person commented, “When was the last time she shopped in a supermarket?” Another user posted this remark following her criticism of grocery stores. This statement by the actress follows her critique towards grocers.

On Thursday, November 7th, I found myself delving into the topic of food inflation and offering some thoughts. In a rather blunt manner, I suggested that the reason for high grocery bills isn’t due to any actions by the Bidens or the state of the economy, but rather because those who own the groceries are overly greedy, as I put it, “pigs.

People on social media, much like before, also criticized the Sister Act actress for disparaging and disrespecting a particular group. One user on platform X asserted, “She’s making false accusations against every grocery store owner. It’s disgusting.
