Whoopi clarifies she doesn't attend parties or gatherings and stays home.

Whoopi Goldberg recently used her platform on The View to address false claims related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case. The EGOT winner was compelled to share this public service announcement as court documents containing the names of over 170 of Epstein's accusers, associates, and other high-profile figures were released.

Just before the documents were made public, several social media accounts published bogus “Epstein lists” that Goldberg said falsely included her name. She addressed this misinformation while on the show, saying “I was on a fake list, and I’m like, ‘I don’t go anywhere!’”

The documents Goldberg referenced came from a lawsuit filed against Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, by survivor Virginia Giuffre. According to Business Insider, the documents contained a wide range of prominent figures, including Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and various Hollywood celebrities.

Goldberg then addressed the accusations about her being on Epstein’s “Pedophile Island” along with other false claims that have circulated online. She also denied other prevalent rumors, saying “I never got kicked out of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant… I didn’t get kicked off Bill Maher’s show. I didn’t get into a fight with Oprah backstage here at The View… It just goes—it’s insane.”

The Color Purple actress underscored the need for caution around sharing satirical content online and warned, “Once someone is cleared of your insanity, they’re going to call their lawyer on you.” She added that she has “nothing to hide” and doesn't care what people think when it comes to her own life.

This PSA from Whoopi Goldberg is a reminder to be mindful of the content we share online, and to verify the accuracy of information before we spread it. It's important to be aware of the potential harm that false claims can cause, and to take extra caution when sharing satirical content.
