Whoopi Goldberg is speaking out to reveal why her name has popped up in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Goldberg Sounds Off
“In the name of transparency, my name is in the files. Yes!” Goldberg, 70, admitted on The View on Tuesday morning.
Goldberg proceeded to read the May of 2013 email that features her name. In the email, Goldberg wrote that she needed a “plane to get to Monaco” for a charity event.
Epstein responded to the email by shutting Goldberg down, writing, “No thanks.”
“So in other words, anybody can be on this list?” asked co-host Joy Behar, 83.
“This is my point because when I tell you, people are trying to turn me into … I wasn’t his girlfriend, I wasn’t his friend,” Goldberg lamented. “I was not only too old [for him], but it was at a time where this is just not — you used to have to have facts before you said stuff.”
Behar chimed back in to claim that President Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files “38,000 times.”
“I can’t speak to him, but I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged,” Goldberg continued. “People actually believe that I was with him. It’s like honey, come on. Every man that I’ve ever been with, you’ve known about because either the Enquirer wrote about it, people wrote about this stuff. So, no.”
“I didn’t get on the plane because you know what I would have to do to get on the plane?” she added. “They’re trying to get me to get on a plane [to go to the charity event].”
Co-host Sara Haines, 48, spoke up to say that many other stars like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe are named in the files because of “news articles, third-party emails, contacts.”
“Wealthy, famous people often cross in professional and social circles, so that’s not the surprising part,” Haines explained.
Goldberg’s Previous Epstein Comments
Goldberg’s name popping up in the Epstein files came as a shock, given how vocal she has been about them. Earlier this month, she even called out fellow women who were “complicit” in Epstein’s depraved crimes.
“Not only did they protect each other, but we were complicit in all of this. We are complicit,” Goldberg stated. “Women didn’t say, ‘Hey, don’t do that. Don’t stand up for that,’ women did not stand up for other women. Women saw what was going on and didn’t say, ‘Stop this.’ They didn’t come out and say this was going on.”
Perhaps you should have said something instead of asking Epstein for his plane, Whoopi!
Epstein allegedly committed suicide in prison back in 2019. At the time, he was awaiting trial on multiple sex crime charges. Many have long believed that Epstein was murdered so that he wouldn’t be able to expose the famous people who may have also been involved in his crimes. Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently serving 20 years for sex trafficking.
Perhaps Goldberg should have thought twice before becoming so vocal about the Epstein files, given the fact that she must have known she might be in them. In the end, this is just another fail from the infamous Whoopi Goldberg.
Good riddance, Whoopi!
