Whoopi Goldberg Returns The View After Controversy, Complains About Job

Whoopi Goldberg returned to The View after a two-week break during which she faced backlash for controversial comments equating the treatment of Black people in the U.S. to living conditions in Iran. At the start of her return episode, she expressed that despite her multimillion-dollar salary, her job 'can feel like hell,' acknowledging the anger she sometimes faces from the public. The audience responded with a warm welcome, which Goldberg appreciated. Additionally, her return was marked by a mysterious, eerie noise heard during the live broadcast, which went unexplained but did not interrupt the show's flow. Goldberg addressed serious topics including recent floods in Texas and ongoing political issues before continuing with the day's discussions. The controversy and public reaction to Goldberg’s remarks, coupled with the unusual broadcast noise, have kept her return to the show in the spotlight.
