Whoopi Goldberg has been missing on The View lately, causing others to apologize to the audience. Joy Behar started a recent show by apologizing for the missing Whoopi, who would be out for at least a week during her hiatus from The View.

Whoopi Goldberg looked effortlessly cool while sitting front row at Ami Paris' fall 2025 runway show in France on Wednesday.

The View is once again forging ahead without Whoopi Goldberg. As loyal viewers know by now, the show has been down a co-host since Tuesday (Jan. 21), when Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro returned from the three-day weekend with Goldberg nowhere in sight.

As the January 2025 wildfires continued to burn in Los Angeles, a rumor circulated online that one of the blazes destroyed actor, comedian and television host Whoopi Goldberg's California mansion. A website called Esspots.com published the claim in an article (archived) on Jan. 10. It began:

Whoopi Goldberg wants people to stop “pointing fingers” and assigning blame for the deadly LA fires. On Monday’s episode of “The View,” the Oscar-winner, 69, said that last week’s hurricane-force winds that blew throughout Southern California are responsible for sparking the flames that have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles County.

Goldberg made her very first Paris Fashion Week show. She recently posed for a campaign with Ami, and was named a house ambassador last November.

Whoopi Goldberg, "The View" co-host, calls for sympathy for celebrities who lost their homes in the Los Angeles wildfires.

Celebrities were among those who lost their homes in wildfires still burning in greater Los Angeles. But claims that ABC’s "The View" cohost Whoopi Goldberg’s house was destroyed originated on a self-described satire site.

I tried marriage, and it wasn’t for me. You can’t be in a marriage because everybody’s expecting you to,' Goldberg previously said.

I stand behind her. If I believe I have the right to make up my mind to go perform someplace, I believe they have the same right,” Goldberg said.
