The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg indicated that she believed a bakery may
have refused to make a treat for her birthday due to differing political
opinions.
The 69-year-old comedian shared her thoughts during Wednesdays episode of
the daytime talk show. When Goldberg presented the other panelists with one
of her favorite desserts, Charlotte Russe, she mentioned having a hard time
getting the creamy sponge cake dessert from a Staten Island bakery, also
explaining that she had asked for this dessert because it was one of her
mothers favorites.
Now, I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings, and the
place that made these refused to make them for me, Goldberg said, eliciting
a gasp from the audience.
Fellow panelist Sunny Hostin replied, Oh, really? while Sara Haines spit
out the piece she had been eating.
They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went
and got them anyway, Goldberg continued, which is why Im not telling you
who made them.
She added that the reason for refusing service cant be because Im a woman
and then speculated that perhaps they did not like my politics.
But thats okay, Goldberg went on, because you know what? Listen, this is
my mothers celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom.
Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today.
The actress refused to name the bakery, but Entertainment Weekly reported the
desserts came from Holtermanns Baker on Staten Island. The owner, Jill
Holtermann, told the outlet that her refusing the order had nothing to do
with political affiliations. She said the bakery was having trouble with
[the] boilers.
Holtermann said Goldberg had initially asked for the baked treats for a
November 6 talk show appearance and her birthday broadcast on Wednesday. The
owner said she turned down the orders because she didnt want to make a
commitment that I cant carry through.
I said to Whoopi, I cant do it right now,' she told the outlet. We have
so many things going on with my boiler, because the building is from 1930,
so, when she called me, I had no idea [if we could] be baking everything.
The owner confirmed that a woman came into the bakery on the morning of
November 13 and picked up 50 Charlotte Russe desserts, which she had been
able to make despite the issues the bakery was experiencing.
