Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on the Nov. 13 episode of The View, but the party ended with a bakery refusing to sell the EGOT winner’s dessert due to her political beliefs. It ended with a rather shocking revelation. Goldberg paid tribute to her mother by sharing her favorite Charlotte Ruth treat with her “View” co-hosts. Dessert was ordered from a Staten Island bakery, but organizers claimed the order was initially denied because of Goldberg’s left-leaning political beliefs.
“Now, let me tell you, Charlotte Luce has no political leanings and the company that made these refused to make them for me,” Goldberg said as the live studio audience gasped. said. “They said the oven was broken and all that stuff, but people went and picked it up anyway. So I won’t say who made it.”
“Maybe they didn’t like my politics,” Goldberg added. “But it’s okay, you know that, right? Listen, this is my mom’s celebration. Grab these and celebrate with me and my mom. Today is my birthday.” Thank you everyone.”
Goldberg did not name the bakery, but Entertainment Weekly did some research and identified it as Holterman’s Bakery on Staten Island. Bakery owner Jill Halterman confirmed to EW that Goldberg requested the dessert two weeks ago, but denied Goldberg’s political influence played a role in her declining the order. did. Rather, Halterman said, the bakery was “having problems with its boiler” at the time. The owner explained that because the building is nearly 100 years old, there are frequent problems with the equipment.
As EW reports, “Goldberg initially requested a reward for an appearance on the talk show on Nov. 6 and for the Nov. 13 broadcast of ‘The View,’ but she declined both.” “I declined because I didn’t want to make a commitment.”I can’t get over the uncertainty of her equipment. She also said an unidentified woman received approximately 50 Charlotte Ruth desserts from the bakery at 7:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning, and that she was able to make them, but was unable to resolve the ongoing boiler issues. He admitted that he did not want to make a commitment in advance. ”
“I told Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,'” Halterman said. “There’s so much going on in our boiler. The building was built in 1930, so when she called me, I had no idea if it was going to burn everything. .”
