I delivered food to Whoopie a few years back..She was so nice, and took a selfie with me, and left a very nice tip. She told me at first, no im not whoopie, I just look like whoopie.😅😅
-
I saw her walking into a restaurant in New Jersey a few months ago. I just smiled and nodded and she smiled that famous smile right back. Later, as I was eating at my table, someone patted my back as they walked by. I looked up and it was Whoopi, who again smiles on her way out of the place. She seemed like a very sweet lady.
-
I love what Whoopi’s says “We are lucky because we had people we loved and they loved back” That resonates.
-
I do not think we appreciate enough who and what she means to our world. Thx Don for this
-
In my opinion, Don Lemon benefited from this interview during his healing process
-
Thank God her mom stood up for her when they said,”She’s not trying.” Mom said,”I think she is.”
-
I absolutely love Whoopi. I hate how being on the view has had people to talk so badly of her. Shes definitely a legend in the industry and a great person

Don Lemon...Keep flying, man. It did my heart good to realize you have your own platform. Your sense of compassion and empathy have always made you a TOP NOTCH journalist. I'm happy for you, Brother. You deserve this. 💪🏾
-
This was a fabulous conversation between you and Whoopi, Don!!
-
Both my parents have passed. The most heartbreaking feeling was realizing the people who loved me the most are no longer here. It gets me every time. Thanks for this Don. Whoopi is fabulous.
-
THAT is what we need more of. Heartfelt conversation. Period!
-
I used to deliver flowers to Whoopi Goldberg when she lived in Berkeley. I remember she had two little white dogs.
-
I watch the View only bc Whoopi is on it.
-
I lost my older brother and both parents within a very short time. I was extremely close to all of them. It has been over 12 years. I still feel an emptiness inside. This conversation has been healing. I am a dedicated "The View" watcher. Whoopi is an old soul.....very wise and honest.

YESSS! I've always loved Whoopi! Here for her!!! Jumpin Jack Flash girl in the house!
-

-
Hugs Whoopi for going through that and your mom ❤.

My dad always said Whoopi was the most beautiful woman he ever has seen. Rip to my dad and all of your loved ones whom have passed on 🙏🏽❣️
