Whoopi Goldberg slammed for constantly cutting off Alyssa Griffin on 'The View': 'It’s so rude'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Whoopi Goldberg is facing criticism from fans of 'The View' after renewed claims that she constantly interrupts fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin during live broadcasts.

The controversy flared up again this week after a Reddit user posted a now-viral thread. The user also dubbed Goldberg "rude" and claimed that she interrupts only Griffin on air. The post sparked a heated debate among viewers, with many accusing Goldberg of being dismissive.

Reddit thread slams Whoopi Goldberg for interrupting co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin on 'The View'

On June 4, a Reddit thread posted in a fan community for 'The View'—which has over 8,000 members—sparked fresh controversy surrounding longtime co-host Whoopi Goldberg. Titled “Whoopi constantly cuts Alyssa off. Daily”, the post accused Goldberg of regularly interrupting fellow panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin.

The original poster elaborated: “It’s so rude. Has anyone else noticed that? She doesn’t cut anyone else off while they are speaking, just Alyssa. She doesn’t let her complete a sentence.” With over two dozen upvotes, the thread quickly gained traction, signaling support from viewers who’ve noticed the same pattern.

While many fans focused their criticism on Goldberg’s behavior, the dynamic between co-hosts has occasionally boiled over on air. 

A notable example occurred on 19 February 2025, according to New York Post. During a fiery segment on 'The View', Goldberg strongly pushed back against the idea that she needs to engage with supporters of President Donald Trump. 

She argued that many of Trump’s backers “support people who think you don’t matter in the country,” making meaningful dialogue difficult. Her comments came in response to co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former senior adviser in the Trump administration, who urged Americans to engage in conversations across political lines to find common ground.

Griffin, who resigned from her White House role following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and later endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, emphasized the importance of reaching out—even to those with opposing views. “Democrats have to be willing to go to uncomfortable spaces,” she said, noting that she supported some elements of Trump’s policy initiative, Project 2025.

Goldberg quickly challenged Griffin’s stance. "I think this is beyond Democrats and Republicans,” she said. 

When Griffin argued that people don’t have to agree with Trump entirely to support certain policies, Goldberg responded sharply: "It’s hard to talk to people who support people who think you don’t matter in the country.”

Griffin pushed back, clarifying that support for a policy doesn’t necessarily equate to endorsing the person behind it. But Goldberg was firm: “No, no! No no! But when you support that person, it brings,” she began, before Griffin interrupted in agreement.

While Goldberg ultimately conceded that conversations across ideological divides are necessary, she made it clear that it becomes difficult when the president’s actions go against the will or well-being of the majority.

Internet slams Whoopi Goldberg for interrupting Alyssa Griffin on air

As discussion heats up on Reddit about Whoopi Goldberg frequently cutting off Alyssa Farah Griffin, here's a look at what fans are really saying.

One user wrote, "I agree - people here are so annoyed at Alyssa. She's really the best center right we have ever had on the panel - give her a voice."

A second person shared, "You are correct, however, this sub isn’t usually Alyssa friendly."

A commenter shared, "Whoop and Sunny are bullies, straight up. Alyssa isn’t even extreme. She agrees with the group most of the time and they are dismissive to her points."

Another person added, "She isnt even disagreeing. She just ignores her and talks over her."

A user echoed, "EXACTLY"

While some disagreed with the thread saying, "She does not!! Alyssa talks more than all of them combined. Whoopi doesn’t cut people off unless there’s a commercial break."

A person said, "Its the format: five women, all with a lot to say, trying to say it before the commercial break."
