ABC’s “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg is “untouchable” after the show suffered a ratings drop during her suspension, a source told the New York Post.
The Post claims that a source revealed that Goldberg feels more emboldened than ever because ratings for the daytime talk show dropped in her absence.
The source claimed that Goldberg “returned to work with a big grin on her face” due to the ratings drop. “She’s strutting around the place. She’s peacocking.”
During her suspension, the Post reports the talk show dropped 283,000 viewers, resulting in a season-low for total viewers in key demographics.
In Goldberg’s first week back from the suspension, “The View” added 2.3 million viewers, which the Post noted was the biggest week-to-week gain for any daytime broadcast series.
Goldberg was suspended after she claimed on the show that the Holocaust was “not about race,” but rather “about man’s inhumanity to man.”
Advertisement When she returned from her suspension, Goldberg spoke vaguely about the controversy but didn’t apologize or even directly mention the controversy.
Instead, she said the panel would continue having “tough” conversations moving forward.
“Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to ‘The View’ — and yes, I am back,” Goldberg began.
“We missed you,” co-host Joy Behar replied.
“And I missed you all too,” Goldberg agreed. “I got to tell you, there’s something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this because we are ‘The View,’ and this is what we do, and sometimes we don’t do it as elegantly as we could, and sometimes – but it’s five minutes to get in important information about topics.”

“And it was amazing, and I listened to everything everybody had to say, and I was very grateful, and I hope it keeps all the important conversations happening because we’re going to keep having tough conversations.”
“Yeah,” co-host Sunny Hostin agreed.
“And in part, because this is what we have been hired to do, and it’s not always pretty as I said, and it’s not always as other people would like to hear, but it is an honor to sit at this table and be able to have these conversations because they’re important,” Goldberg concluded. “They’re important to us as a nation, and to us more so as a human entity. So happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.”
“With Whoopi out from the show on suspension, the ratings dropped to the lowest in total viewers and key demos of the season,” the insider continued. “At the end of the day, TV is a business. The only thing that really matters is ratings.”
“Whoopi is untouchable,” they concluded. “She’s the queen bee

They are censoring my posts.
I’m outta here.
I agree, she is untouchable.
People only tuned in to see if she would say even more stupid sh*t
The entire Left is mostly untouchable.
I wouldn’t even with your ten foot pole!
She is the brains of the show.
Oh, so it’s a anti-semitic program and those who watch it are anti-semitic, right?
Isn’t that how they play the game? We should volley back.
Thought it was caryn. Whatever, a waste of resources.
Maybe it’s not Woopie but stupid women tuning in to find out what to think about the war in Ukraine.
I remember when Ellen DeGenerate was likewise ‘untouchable’ and she still got cancelled.
She got a paid vacation, some punishment.
She had two weeks to talk to lawyers who showed her that nothing she said wasn’t also said by others all over the network.
Damn right. The Herpes and Syphilis is practically LEAPING off her.
Don't care.
Don't give a sheet.
Last I heard...she's a bitch. And hates people that don't think like her.
Woopi is no different than many angry black woman....just more money.
Yes- her followers are the ones that attack fast food workers when they don’t get what they want.
Who is? Is it ghosts? Is the ghosts censoring your posts?
I’m outta here.
Well bye.
You know the ghosts will be following you, right?
I know I would never want to touch her......
That's the most scholarly-sounding thing she's said all season, I'm sure.
