Whoopi Goldberg Admits to Being High on Drugs While Hosting “The View”

Wednesday, July 21st 2010 | Leave a Comment

Our favorite outspoken talk show host Whoopi Goldberg caught everyone off guard Monday (Jul 19) on “The View” when she revealed that she was still “hazy” from partying the night before in Vienna, Austria.

Whoopi had a serious case of the giggles as she hosted Monday’s episode of ABC‘s “The View” and said that it was because she was jet lagged and “drugged up” because she has a fear of flying and has to be put to sleep whenever she gets on an airplane.

Check out video footage of Whoopi’s hilarious antics on “The View” Monday below:

“I just got back from Vienna for amfAR, because you know today kicked off the International AIDS Conference, so people from all over the world were there and it was an insanely huge party and I just got back. I may have partied too much but I have to fly drugged so I’m still slightly drugged… I’m sure somewhere in me I’m still partying.”

First she’s defending Mel Gibson and now she’s spouting out random ish while hosting a live televison show. Something tells us this isn’t the first time she’s been “high” while hosting “The View.”

Your thoughts?

    Please, she was still medicated, big deal. Why don’t you people get a real life and stop picking on good honest people! You guy’s are a bunch of hypocritical A Holes! If you had any intelligences what so ever you would see what a wonderful. honest and well respected person Whoppi is. But it is clear you are idiot’s. You are what is wrong with this world not Whoppi!

    You need to get a life,
    Whoopi said the Mel Gibson she has known for years is not a racist.
    Not once has she defended what Mel Gibson said or how he behaved.
    As far as the side effects from taking something to
    assist with her horrible FEAR of flying. SO WHAT?.
    She is not the first nor will she be the last person to take meds to fly on an airplane.
    The media needs to realize not everything is newsworthy.
    DEAD HORSES ARE TO BE BURIED,
    NOT BEATEN!

    @Sandra: Come on get a life. Why are you defending her. This is Hollywood. They are all weird. many do drugs and then try to hide it. She is no different.

    i dont have a website url , my comment is , i hope the media dont blow this out of proportion. i love whoopie, watched her n loved her since the beginning of her career. One that i enjoyed. She did 3 characters , a valley girl , a bum, a jamacan. She does an awesome job on the view, esp keeping Elizabeth under control , but thats another comment :)

    Apparently Ari Emanuel is showing what happens to those who defend Mel.

    Gibson is a deeply disturbed man whose “spirituality” is wrapped up in extreme violence and fascist imagery. What motivates him is clearly power – heterosexual white male power – imposed on others by raw violence or the threat of violence. He is a fascist in temperament – which is why racism and anti-Semitism and murderous hatred of gay people come naturally to him. And this is how he sees himself as a Christian.

    why can’t people remove the tree in there eyes before removing others.

    @Sandra: Yes I like Whoopi and everything, but she is a GROWN women, and she should’nt be acting like some irresponsible adolescent quite embarrasing herself on national television. If she knew she was high, then she should have never came to work. And Mel Gibson not only said racist remarks, but he also hit a women for goodness sakes.

    Yes I like Whoopi and everything, but she is a GROWN woman acting like an adolescent embarrassing herself on national television. If she knew she was high, then she should have never came to work in the first place. Not only is she taking up for Mel Gibson after saying extremely racist remarks, but she is also taking up for him after he hit a woman for goodness sakes.

    This Whoopie character needs to get get herself together! Watching her slobber all over herself in public is totally disgusting. Why the network still employs her is a mystery. Her continually-biased rantings leave a bad taste in one’s mouth.

  • URROYALHIGHNESS

    PEOPLE, IF WE CAN’T ENJOY LIFE. WHOPPI IS THE MOST LOVING, DIVERSE, CARING PERSON. WE HAVE ALLOWED HOLLYWOOD TO JUDGE STARS AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HUMAN. THEY DO NOT BELONG TO US, WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE THEM.
    THIS WAS HUMUROUS TO ME. I THOUGHT SHE WAS CUTE BUGGED
    SOME OF YOU STIFF NECKS NEED A SHOT OF WHAT SHE HAD—

    Whoopie is a great lady, however, she really should have passed on hosting this particular show.

  • reggiedoll

  • Marlena

    Whoopi is great, she is honest and a real person – in this liberal society where everything goes, people can be so harsh over something so small.

  • Jzasyu

    Goldberg is a psueodp-Jewish Princess who is a real BITCH. Since when is she sop fucking innocent???

  • karen

    Sensationalist headlines, making sure people have already formed an opinion before reading. Whoopi does not fly. she travels coast to coast when necessary in an RV. There are many people who cannot tolerate flying without medicaton. And what her condition was inappropriate for daytime television that venue of steamy soap operas. This was pure BS. Yeah, I read it, and the author, or editor or whoever marketed this story should lose their job.

    alot of the commenters here seems they could use a xanax themselves- lighten up world!

  • Smelly Betty

    Hey leave WHOOPI alone! She tells it like it is. Can’t you see that reality couple are begging for attention and want to act like they are important? Just some wealthy scam artists searching for attention! It’s people like YOU that feed the frenzy of such low class reality stars! Whoopi has more class in her little finger. Those people are so stupid and the people that give them attention are too! :-)

  • mary leyba

    whoopie is the reason i do not watch
    the view

  • rusty

    @karen:
    hey dumbass, she was flying. if you read the fucking article is says she was returning from AUSTRIA!! good luck traveling by RV on that one.

    At first, I thought Ms Goldberg would be a welcome addition to the “View” hosts. But EVERY TIME I have watched the show, I rarely see her smile at anything or anybody, even when they are supposedly suppose to be greeting a guest. She just doesn’t seem to “mesh” like the present and previous hosts have managed to do so. In fact, she acts like she’d rather be anywhere rather than there. It’s noticeably distracting, especially sense the other hosts always manage to be on the “best behavior”, whether they want to or not. It’s part of their job. The expressions on Ms Goldberg’s face are totally unaceptable as she seems even to “scowl” at the guests as they are speaking or expressing themselves. She seems to have a “militant” attitude, one that she needs to keep to herself or show it somewhere besides public television. I can’t believe I am the only one that is disturbed by this. I have stopped watching the program….and I am amazed to see this picture of an obviously “drugged” Ms. Goldberg. At least maybe something can make her smile but I don’t think this particular one was appropriate for televising. I will be very surprised to learn that I am the only “ex-viewer” due to the present “hosts”.

    For cryin out loud people, out bil of rights has enumerated the right to be intoxicated on alcohol. When you read that certain right into the ninth amendment it becomes very clear that the right to intoxicate ones self on any substance is perfectly okay. Maybe not to the organized criminals that pretend being a temperance movement and forcing a prohibition on the world so they may reap unwelcome rewards from the 5,000% increase in the street price of those prohibited intoxicants.

    Amendment nine: “The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage OTHERS retained by the people.”

    What has been enumerated? The worst intoxicant man can ever know, alcohol. Is this because some feel Jesus made some? Is canabis outlawed because it makes my eyes look like the red devils eyes themselves??

    END ALL PROHIBITIONS NOW and stop terrorism at the same time. They can not keep the stuff out of Max Security prisons and death row, how do you plan to dominate everyone?? END insanity as well by repealing these prohibitions of all intoxicants. How many people are run through the ringer just trying to get their legal perscriptions? Too much corruption based on one police state policy. Insane.

    I’m ready for any stupidity to argue with me, bring it on Kop.

    I type too fast.

    Our Bill Of rights,,, for the first line above. Sry it came out “out bil of”,,

  • Lukes girl

    # 1 race. Now I wonder when all this criticism will stop.. Ist, we all have noticed how Mrs.Salahi, loves the spot light. She loves all the attention she can get. One day you will wake up and see who you really are, grow up. Now, Mr. O’Reilly, has spoken, Mr. O’Reilly, why flare out, run for President, quit sitting on your butt. Show everyone how this country should be run. You have my vote. I used to like to listen to you, but your age is catching up to you, you have to follow the flow with us Seniors. Respect women. Your mother was. What and how can you fix this country, speak up Mr. O’ Reilly.

    She’s probably still on the show because she owns half the stock in it or someplace else related to the View.

    I cannot tolerate her in any circumstance. I have never been able to do so and don’t intend on changing my mind. If she’s on a show or in a movie, the entire thing is ruined & I don’t watch it.

    I take something for my fear of flying and a lot of other medications at the same time (including Oxycodone) for polyneuropathy and other diseases that I have & I’m not stoned when I disembark. I think Ms. Goldberg was stoned on that and possibly something else. All you have to do is take a look at her eyes and you can tell she’s not with whoever is around her. If she wants to prove it’is that drug she should publish what it is, what her dosage is & how often she should take it. Sharing that with the public would prove if she’s being honest or not. Or perhaps it’s time to try a different medication?

    Maybe she’s just can’t handle stardom anymore without drugs. No shame in that if she can admit it and get the help she needs. If she doesn’t she’s just a buzzhead like so many others in America. Oh, I guess there are a couple of differences after all; she has a manager or her publicist keeping it all hush-hush as much as possible and money for therapy she obviously chooses not to use. Way to go, Whoopi.

  • TJ

    I think Whoopi was being more silly than anything. Yes I think she was still a little out of it from the meds but I do not think she is high on purpose. As far as being on the View. I think when she wants to be she can be more attractive than the rest. Plus she knows how to direct the rest and make the show better than it was before. Just sayin

  • susan

    she is a sick disturbed woman that openly supports a pedophile like Roman Polanski
    I like his work but I dont agree with rape is okay if you are a friend of mine
    she is an open racist
    Slavery ended along time go lady
