Whoopi Goldberg looked effortlessly cool while sitting front row at Ami Paris' fall 2025 runway show in France on Wednesday.

As the January 2025 wildfires continued to burn in Los Angeles, a rumor circulated online that one of the blazes destroyed actor, comedian and television host Whoopi Goldberg's California mansion. A website called Esspots.com published the claim in an article (archived) on Jan. 10. It began:

Whoopi Goldberg wants people to stop “pointing fingers” and assigning blame for the deadly LA fires. On Monday’s episode of “The View,” the Oscar-winner, 69, said that last week’s hurricane-force winds that blew throughout Southern California are responsible for sparking the flames that have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles County.

Celebrities were among those who lost their homes in wildfires still burning in greater Los Angeles. But claims that ABC’s "The View" cohost Whoopi Goldberg’s house was destroyed originated on a self-described satire site.

Goldberg made her very first Paris Fashion Week show. She recently posed for a campaign with Ami, and was named a house ambassador last November.

I stand behind her. If I believe I have the right to make up my mind to go perform someplace, I believe they have the same right,” Goldberg said.

The View had plenty of views on Carrie Underwood‘s announcement that she’ll be performing “America The Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20, though all of the cohosts defended her right to do so.

Goldberg's disdain stemmed from her fellow panelists enthusiastically breaking down a recent episode of the Bravo reality show that saw the cast reading disparaging text messages about each other, out loud to each other, which legal expert Sunny Hostin called a "mean" exercise.

The ADL seems less forgiving of suspected antisemitic comments and gestures when they come from Black celebrities.
