Last year, we reported that Whoopi Goldberg had admitted to using the weight loss drug Mounjaro. This came after she ballooned to nearly 300 pounds.
Now, Goldberg is finally revealing just how much weight she has lost. She’s also revealing how this weight gain came about in the first place.
Goldberg’s Weight Gain
Goldberg, 69, is blaming her massive weight gain on a supposed freak accident.
“I had to do those shots because I got sciatica,” Goldberg told Daily Mail. She added that she “had smashed the vertebrae in between the bones, doing something I told people specifically not to do, which was to run on wet grass.”
“I was running like Fred Flintstone,” she recalled. “And I slipped, went up in the air, did a flip, and came back to the ground.”
Unaware of how much damage she’d done, Goldberg overdid it by continuing to walk around for weeks. This forced her to go on steroids while filming her 2022 movie Till. Because of this, Goldberg’s weight dramatically increased to nearly 300 pounds.
Check out Goldberg in a trailer for Till in the video below.
Goldberg Reveals How Much Weight She’s Lost
Since then, Goldberg claims to have lost “about 180 pounds.” However, Goldberg claims that many haven’t noticed just how much weight she’s lost because her “clothes are always big, so no one can ever tell what’s going on under there.”
Many would argue that we should all feel very thankful for that. Indeed, we certainly don’t want to know “what’s going on under there” when it comes to Whoopi Goldberg!
Despite feeling better now at a much smaller weight, Goldberg has seen some downsides of this weight loss. She joked that “it’s cold as hell out here. I have no [butt].”
Goldberg also alleges that her loved ones are starting to get concerned about her weight loss. One person even reportedly recently told her, “You need to eat something.”
Goldberg, however, isn’t having any of this. She explained that if she’s not eating enough, it’s because food “never did it” for her. Instead, she had other vices that included vaping.
“Food never did it for me, but all kinds of other things did, and now I’m paying for it,” she admitted. “I don’t do anything now. It’s terrible.”
“I used to have a great vaping life, no more vaping, no more nothing,” Goldberg confessed. “So, just straight as an arrow.”
Goldberg Admits To Using Mounjaro
Goldberg admitted to taking Mounjaro to lose weight last year.
“I was on all this stuff and one of the things that has helped me drop the weight is the Mounjaro,” she said at the time. “That’s what I use.”
Goldberg went on to urge fans to “stop judging everybody” based on how they look.
“Maybe that’s the key,” she said of this notion. “Because, listen, when I realized how much I had put on, because… I always felt like me. And then I saw me and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s a lot of me.’”
“And my weight has come and gone up and down but it’s never been an issue for me because I don’t listen to what other people say about me, so it has never been a problem,” Goldberg concluded. “But I think it’s very hard for people to just know what a normal weight would be.”
Goldberg has become a controversial figure in the eyes of many in recent years. This is because she shares her radically liberal views on a daily basis on her ABC talk show The View.
In the end, Goldberg can lose as much weight as she wants to, but it’s not going to win back the many fans she’s lost with her increasingly deranged leftwing opinions. Congratulations on getting healthy, Whoopi, but we still won’t be watching The View!
