'The View' Co-Host Defends Whoopi Goldberg After Barbara Corcoran Body Shames Her

An awkward moment between Whoopi Goldberg and Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran on The View Thursday has Ana Navarro speaking out in support of her co-host. After Corcoran made a bad body-shaming joke about Goldberg, Navarro jumped in to defend the comedian. Corcoran later posted an apology on Twitter, admitting that the joke was not funny.

During a discussion with Corcoran and the other Shark Tank judges, The View co-hosts praised Good American CEO Emma Grede for her company's size-inclusive jeans. Grede serves as a guest judge on Friday's Shark Tank season premiere, making her the first Black female guest Shark. "Will they fit this COVID [butt]?" Goldberg jokingly asked of Good American's clothes.

Sunny Hostin and Navarro told Goldberg the clothes would fit her without a problem, but that's when Corcoran chimed in with the hurtful joke. "And when you get finished with those jeans, and decide you don't like them, give them to me. I'm gonna make two pairs," Corcoran said. Everyone else at The View table was shocked by this unfunny joke. "Whoopi, let me just tell you something... Both Sara Haines and Jill Biden wore that dress already on TV," Navarro said, referring to the dress Corcoran wore. Everyone at the table started to laugh, but Navarro wasn't done. "Donald Trump Jr. tried that [body-shaming] on me. It didn't work," Navarro said. "No, no, no."
