Whoopi Goldberg walks off ‘The View’ set during awkward conversation about foot fetishes
She put her foot down.
Whoopi Goldberg temporarily walked off the set of “The View” when her co-hosts began talking about foot fetishes.
During Tuesday’s episode of the ABC talk show, the ladies discussed a Guardian advice column in which an anonymous person said his wife stopped allowing him to give her foot massages after he told her he had a fetish.
“You have to entertain your partner’s kink, within reason,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, prompting Goldberg, 68, to stand up and walk away.
“Excuse me for a second,” the “Sister Act” star said as she left the stage.
“Keep talking!”
Farrah Griffin, 34, then quipped, “Whoopi has left the building.”
When panelist Joy Behar asked Goldberg why she briefly walked away, the “Ghost” actress did not give a straight answer, though she appeared to hand something to someone off-camera.
“I was so enamored by what you were saying that I felt that I needed to take a breath so I could just get myself together, so I could come back to the table!” she joked.
“So, I just got up and walked away and just got myself together!”
When Behar responded, “This is what my feet do to people,” Goldberg added, “This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move.”
She concluded, “I don’t care ’cause my feet are huge, and no one wants to touch them!”
Goldberg is no stranger to leaving the table during “The View” when topics come up that she has no interest in.

Last year, the “Color Purple” star removed herself from the stage over a heated debate regarding Miranda Lambert’s decision to stop a concert and yell at fans who were taking selfies.
During the July 2023 episode, Goldberg appeared irritated when she brought up the topic to her co-hosts, even rolling her eyes and letting out a sigh while giving background on the story.
The TV host took Lambert’s side, saying that the fans should’ve shown “at least a little respect” during the country singer’s show.
When “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin said she should be able to take as many selfies as she wants after paying nearly $800 for tickets, Goldberg appeared to become aggravated by the rebuttal.
She then stood up from her seat and made her way into the audience.
“I’m leaving, y’all!” the EGOT winner said.
Goldberg proceeded to take selfies with audience members to prove her point before the show cut for a commercial break.
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
