ABC suspends Whoopi Goldberg over Holocaust remarks
Television personality Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from ‘The View’ on ABC following her remarks on the Holocaust
Whoopi Goldberg was suspended from the ABC network’s TV Show “The View” after saying the Holocaust involved “two groups of white people”.
ABC News stated that Goldberg would be off-air for two weeks after her “wrong and hurtful comments” made on the programme.
The actress and TV personality said on The View that the Nazi genocide of the Jews was “not about race”.
The TV star later apologised but then caused further offence while attempting to explain her remarks on a late-night show.
In a note to staff on Tuesday night, ABC News president Kim Godwin wrote: “Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments.
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.
The 66-year-old Oscar-winning actress has been a co-star of The View since 2007
Goldberg first made the controversial comments on Monday’s show while discussing a Tennessee school board’s banning of a graphic novel about the Holocaust on the grounds that it showed nudity, profanity and suicide.
“The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
ABC STATEMENT.
“Just last week I noted that the culture at ABC News is one that is driven, kind, inclusive, respectful, and transparent. Whoopi’s comments do not align with those values.”
ABC STATEMENT.
This is not the first time Goldberg has caused controversy
The television personality said in 2009 that film director Roman Polanksi – who pleaded guilty to “unlawful sex with a minor” in 1977 – was not guilty of “rape-rape”.
She also defended Bill Cosby while he faced sexual assault allegations, before then reversing course amid backlash that she received.
