Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Whoopi Goldberg slammed over 'tone deaf' comments
Caption: Whoopi Goldberg slammed over 'tone deaf' comments. The actress and daytime TV host came under fire after she claimed she has to "work for a living”. Whoopi, 68, described how she considers herself a member of the working class as she would prefer not to co-host daytime TV show The View. Whoopi had said, following a discussion of Donald Trump's second presidency. ”I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too. I work for a living. If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So, I'm a working person, you know?” Her comments led to a backlash on social media, however, with fans decrying the Ghost star as "out of touch”. "Whoopi Goldberg claims she's a 'working class American' and that her family currently knows the struggles of affording groceries.. She has a net worth of $45 MILLION (£35 million)," one person claimed on Twitter/X. ”All these overpaid actors are completely out of touch with reality," another added. ”She's got to be one of the most tone deaf celebrities I've ever seen. I truly don't know how anyone genuinely watches this lady except to mock her," a third user wrote, while another simply commented, "If she's working class, I'm starving class”.
