More AboutWhoopi Goldberg
The iconic actress and TV host Whoopi Goldberg, 67, did not hold back when an audience member called her an “old broad” during the Jan. 18 episode of The View. “Did you just call me an old broad?”, the Sister Act star asked the audience member. Even her co-host Joy Behar, 80, was stunned. “Did she?”, Joy asked, to which Whoopi replied, “Yeah! She said, ‘Yo broad!’” After many laughs among her co-hosts and viewers, Whoopi declared, “I am an old broad and happy about it!”

After the episode aired, many of the show’s viewers took to the comments on Twitter to share their reactions. “someone had to do it,” one person penned, while another chimed in, “oh yeah,” along with a laughing emoji. Of course, one of Whoopi’s fans took to her defense and applauded her for her response. “Brava to Ms Goldberg!”, they wrote. Finally, a separate admirer quoted RHOBH star Lisa Rinna and added, “Own it!”
The fan heckling Whoopi took place during the same episode where the topic of age was ironically a conversation with Modern Family alum Julie Bowen, 52. “You basically became very famous at the age of 39,” Joy began. “Which some people might say is late in life… I started at that age too.” In response, Julie agreed with the 80-year-old host that reaching success is often “better” when one is older. “Oh yeah! Especially if the success has to do with being in the public eye,” the blonde beauty began. “Maybe if I was a lawyer or something it might’ve been different.” The Emmy winner also noted that being bombarded by paparazzi came a bit easier being older.
