Whoopi Goldberg, the iconic actress, comedian, and The View co-host, recently shared a curious and unsettling story about a birthday mishap. The 69-year-old entertainer placed an order for a cake to celebrate her special day with her co-hosts, but the cake never arrived.
What followed was a tale that has since sparked conversation: Goldberg alleges that the bakery denied her order due to her progressive political views.
Goldberg had planned a small celebration with her co-hosts for her 69th birthday. According to her account, she ordered a cake from a local bakery, eager to share a treat with her colleagues. However, when the day arrived, the cake was nowhere to be found. After attempting to reach the bakery for clarification, Goldberg claims that she was informed the order was canceled. She found this baffling, but what she found more shocking was the alleged reason behind the cancellation.
In her recounting, Goldberg said the bakery owner explicitly told her that her order was refused due to her progressive views and outspoken political stance. While Goldberg did not name the bakery, she made it clear that the interaction left her feeling unwelcome and disrespected.
