Whoopi Goldberg Reacts to Oprah Confusion at Oscars 2016
Whoopi Goldberg is opening up about her feelings on the website Total Beauty confusing her for Oprah Winfrey in their coverage of the 2016 Academy Awards.
The site posted a photo of Whoopi and captioned it, “We had no idea Oprah was tatted, and we love it.”
On Monday morning’s episode of The View, Whoopi revealed what she thought of the mistake.
“They could have used an orangutan and said an orangutan has a new tattoo. I feel pretty good if you’re comparing me to Oprah, saying I look like Oprah. That’s not a bad thing,” Whoopi said. “It could’ve been a lot worse.”
When co-host Michelle Collins mentioned that Total Beauty wants to donated $10,000 to the charity of her choice, Whoopi said, “They don’t need to do that. Just know it happens. People make mistakes all the time. We’ve done it on the show… It was an honest mistake. We both look good.”
