The View’s Whoopi Goldberg drops major hint she’s QUITTING show after fans beg for host to be fired
THE VIEW’S Whoopi Goldberg has dropped a major hint she’s QUITTING the show after fans have been begging for the host to be fired.
Whoopi, 66, has been slammed by fans in recent months over her racist comments and moderator blunders.
The Sun can exclusively reveal Whoopi hinted she is leaving during an off-air question and answer with the studio audience on Tuesday’s episode.
During the Q&A with audience members, a fan asked Whoopi if she plans to come out with a clothing line, an eyewitness told The Sun.
Whoopi responded that she is not, but she is launching a prosseco line.
The actress also mentioned how the product is made in Italy and that she plans to release it around Christmas time.
When one of her co-hosts said they could promote the beverage on the show, Whoopi responded by saying she cannot urge viewers to buy alcohol on daytime television.
FIRE WHOOPI?
The new business venture comes as fans have been begging for the longtime host’s firing from The View after various comments and on-air blunders, including her "racist" remarks about the Holocaust during the January 31 episode.

A petition has even circulated on , insisting that Whoopi be let go of her hosting duties for her "repulsive verbiage and actions."
It currently has over 40,000 signatures.
ON-AIR MISTAKES
This week, Whoopi abruptly stopped the daytime series from heading for a commercial break.
As the ABC talk show approached 20 minutes in, it was time for the scheduled commercial break.
Yet when co-host Sara Haines was tasked with reading a legal announcement about Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who has been vocal about his views on abortion, Whoopi "clapped back."
Fans were quick to note her reaction, which caused a delay for commercials.
Sara told viewers: "A legal note - Congressman Matt Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrong doing."
Yet Whoopi interjected, much to the shock of viewers at home: "Yeah but you're a liar, sir."
"We will be right back," she added before the show finally played out to the delayed break.
Then earlier this month, Whoopi snapped at her longtime co-host Joy Behar.
The TV stars were in a tense conversation about President Biden bumping fists with the Saudi Crown Prince.
Whoopi then went on her own rant about the presidency at large.
When her co-star jumped in to add her own take, Whoopi cut her off, saying: "Hold on, hold on. We'll get to that when we come right back cause they just stopped me."
The actress then rolled her eyes and looked down at her comment cards, as she threw Joy shade from her seat on the panel.
Whoopi also had another tense moment this week when her and Joy’s questions for guest Charlamagne cut into Sara's question.
