Whoopi Goldberg is at it again. The actress-turned-host of The View found herself at the center of controversy after accusing a beloved Staten Island bakery of refusing to fulfill her cupcake order due to her political beliefs.
Her claim? Holtermann’s Bakery supposedly gave her the cold shoulder because of her leftist politics. But instead of exposing bias, Goldberg exposed herself—again—as someone willing to play the victim card for attention.
Over the years, Goldberg has turned into a lightning rod for drama. From her baffling hot takes to her tone-deaf remarks, she’s been steadily chipping away at her own credibility.
Now, with this latest flap, Goldberg’s reputation is taking another hit, and frankly, it’s starting to look more like a demolition than a decline.
From Daily Caller:
Democratic New York state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton tore into “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s “self-centered” attack on a New York City bakery early Saturday on “Fox and Friends Weekend.”…“I think it was such a ridiculous thing to do. Inserting herself into a conversation about a local business and coming after a business, especially as a celebrity, can be incredibly dangerous. But the Staten Island community comes together,” she said.
Staten Island Bakery Bites Back
It didn’t take long for Holtermann’s Bakery to set the record straight. At a press conference, the bakery’s owner explained the real reason Goldberg’s order wasn’t fulfilled—a boiler issue.
No political vendetta, no conspiracy, just a simple equipment malfunction. State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, a Staten Island Democrat, didn’t mince words on Fox News.
She slammed Goldberg’s accusations as “ridiculous” and “self-centered.” According to Scarcella-Spanton, Goldberg’s comments were dangerous for a local business simply trying to do its job.
“Businesses aren’t thinking about Whoopi Goldberg,” the senator said. “They’re thinking about how to make sure they get out the best pastries.”
The irony? Holtermann’s has seen a boom in business since Goldberg’s ill-advised remarks. Customers—both Democrat and Republican—are lining up for the bakery’s pastries, showing that Staten Island has its priorities straight.
Even Scarcella-Spanton vouched for the bakery, saying they’ve always been welcoming, boiler issues or not.
Whoopi’s Reputation in Free Fall
Let’s be honest: Goldberg’s public missteps are becoming a trend. Instead of focusing on the facts, she made a minor inconvenience into a political scandal, dragging a hardworking small business through the mud.
It wasn’t about cupcakes; it was about Whoopi making herself the center of attention—again. This incident highlights a broader problem with Goldberg’s approach to public discourse.
Whether it’s her controversial statements on The View or her tendency to overreach with accusations, Goldberg’s antics are becoming exhausting. Even her peers on the left, like Scarcella-Spanton, are distancing themselves from her theatrics.
And can we take a moment to appreciate the Staten Island community?
They rallied around Holtermann’s, showing that common sense still exists in America. As Scarcella-Spanton put it, “Instead of focusing on something positive, Whoopi made it about herself.” Truer words were never spoken.
Cupcakes, Common Sense, and Credibility
This cupcake saga is more than just a PR disaster for Goldberg—it’s a microcosm of her decline. The bakery’s booming business and bipartisan support are proof that Americans are tired of baseless accusations and victim narratives.
Goldberg could learn a thing or two from Holtermann’s: stick to what you’re good at and let the cupcakes (or opinions) speak for themselves.
Meanwhile, Staten Island is having the last laugh. Holtermann’s pastries are flying off the shelves, and Goldberg is left holding an empty plate.
Maybe next time, she’ll think twice before playing politics with a boiler issue.
Key Takeaways:
- Whoopi Goldberg falsely accused a Staten Island bakery of refusing her service for political reasons, but the real issue was a broken boiler.
- The bakery has seen a surge in business, as locals rally behind Holtermann’s and dismiss Goldberg’s claims.
- This latest drama is yet another example of Goldberg’s increasingly self-centered and damaging public antics.
