No More ChitChatter: Whoopi Goldberg Looking To Wiggle Out Of ‘The View’ Contract

They’re just going to have to replace the entire cast at this rate… Whoopi Goldberg Looking To Leave ‘The View’ Never one to mince words or share even the most unpopular of opinions , Whoopi Goldberg has been a near-perfect fit for The View for over a decade. But now, according to RadarOnline , she feels boxed in by the program and wants out: Even though Whoopi Goldberg just signed a four-year contract as a co-host on ABC’s The View, a source tells The National ENQUIRER that Goldberg wants out! “Whoopi regrets roping herself in like that and is trying to figure a way out,” said a source close to Goldberg. “She wants to do other projects and feels network honchos are holding her back.” According to one report, Goldberg dissed The View’s executive producer and founder Barbara Walters, who retired in May, following a screening of potential replacements. Goldberg allegedly snapped, “I’ve been working with a cranky 85-year-old woman who’s been mad about everything for 2 years, and I need a break,” referring to Walters. After co-hosts Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd were forced out, and it was announced recently that controversial host Rosie O’Donnell will return, Goldberg doesn’t trust anyone that’s left on the hit show. “Whoopi will miss working with Sherri Shepherd, whom she mentored,” the source told The ENQUIRER. Well everyone she could possibly need a real break from — Barbara Walters, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McArthy — are all gone now. Seems like she could steer the show’s direction with the new people coming in. What do you think? Should she stay?
