'The View' Fans Aren't Convinced by Barbara Corcoran's Apology to Whoopi Goldberg
10/11/2021 04:32 pm EDT
'Let me fix that'
"Let me fix that," tweeted one person. "'I said something rude to Whoopi that may have hurt her feelings and likely hurt the feelings of several other people, whether they are overweight, love someone who is overweight, or are just good people. Body-shaming is unkind, and I am sorry for what I said.'"
'Unkind is unkind'
"Whoopi might be over it ... I ain't over it... unkind is unkind," replied somebody else. "You are in a business where you should know what to say and when say it... too much money makes some folks awful!"
'Try again'
"Since money is your lingua franca...How about a big donation to a charity Whoopi chooses, a matching donation to one of ANA's choosing, & a 3rd matching donation to a charity that promotes body positivity/help for eating disorders," suggested another The View viewer. "Would be more meaningful than this BS apology."
'So disappointed'
"Why Barbara? Why would u go there?" asked somebody else. "So disappointed in u. Whoopie is a treasure...R.E.S.P.E.C.T!"
'Not an apology'
"I really hate the 'if I offended you, I'm sorry' apologies. That's not an apology," tweeted another person. "Essentially you're saying 'hey! You shouldn't have been offended at all. But if you are, fine: sorry.' Just own it all, Barbara."
'Own your mistake'
"'To those I may of offended' is not an apology. It lends responsibility on the listener and implies they may be the one lacking a sense of humor," wrote a fan. "Take full responsibility and lead with only yourself."
'Digs a deeper hole'
"Barbara, I respect and admire you, and love your spontaneous risk taking with what you say, and your transparency and authenticity," commented another. "But this video is upon reflection, and digs a deeper hole. Please give it some thought and try again."
