In a conversation with ABC News chief legal analyst Abrams, Goldberg says:
If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I got to say all of the information that’s out there kind of points to guilt.
Goldberg recently said she had received threats for staunchly standing by Cosby and joins Abrams in encouraging viewers to contact their legislators to have statute of limitation laws changed for rape cases. She also has a direct message for Cosby:
It looks bad, Bill. Either speak up or shut up.
Goldberg defends Cosby on The View, compared Cosby’s case to the boys of the Duke lacrosse team:
Here’s the deal: This is The View and that was my opinion. Not any of you threatening me or telling me you’re coming after me because you don’t like what I said is going to change the fact that no one has convicted him, he has not been arrested, and the bottomline is that’s the law–innocent, until proven guilty…We all have a very important role to play when it comes to abuse and rape. If it’s true the person has to be taken to nth degree of the world and punished; no one here thinks rape is good, no one here thinks rapists are fun… so don’t come after me like that because I’m sick of this bull.
Dickinson responds to Golberg’s statement on Entertainment Tonight:
What is wrong with you, Whoopi Goldberg? What more does it take? How dare you sit there on The View? You need to be fired, you stupid woman. That is ridiculous.
Goldberg speaks with Johnson regarding Cosby’s rape allegations and her memory of meeting with him at his home:
So I went to the brownstone and we had a little light um dinner downstairs and then when you go upstairs into the living quarters, um its a huge cappuccino contraption on the bar there and he said I want you to act like you were a drunk woman….
Goldberg expresses her thoughts regarding Cosby’s rape allegations, past settlements and the 13 rape victims.
Quite honestly I am sorry having been on both sides of this where people allege that you do something doesn’t matter now. I have a lot of questions for the lady, maybe she will come on.
Crystal is interviewed by Goldberg on The View. They talk about their friendship with Robin Williams, Crystal’s tribute to Williams on the Emmy’s and the person that Robin Williams was to them. Goldberg comments:
I met him ten years before I met you because he used to come to the comedy store in San Diego and we would improvise. I mean it was Robin Williams he used to do Mork and Mindy and when he saw me he said ‘Boy, you grew up!’
Goldberg joins Comic Relief co-host Crystal on Twitter, saying she is also speechless regarding Williams’s death:
BillyCrystal is right…There are No words

Fallon talks to Goldberg about her movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and having her first great-grandchild. The two also sing a duet and do a Flip Lip sketch. Goldberg:
These are the buffest turtles you’ve ever seen. These guys are big. Their shells are big, and they don’t play.
Milano appears on The View and talks to the ladies about one of her tween crushes.
I liked C.Thomas Howell actually when I was a teenager.
Goldberg takes on the questions most people want to ask her from her childhood, relationships, sexual orientation to why she dresses the way she does.
If you’re going to lie, make it interesting
Hall interviews Goldberg on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about her meeting with Spielberg and her role in the The Color Purple. They also talk about a show that she pitched to called BleeT which deals with assimilation.
He understood that is was about. If we over assimilate people we want, we demand people be exactly as we want them to be and forget to let them be themselves and their culture and be part of ours. But it’s a blend!
Goldberg in interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about Hall’s success, and the network’s expectation of her when she initiated a show.
When I did my show they expected something completely different and of course couldn’t give it to ’em. But that’s not what you did you didn’t promise anything you didn’t deliver.
Goldberg wins the Grammy for Best Comedy Recording for Whoopi Goldberg – Original Broadway Show Recording.
