Whoopi Goldberg Claims Bakery Denied Her Service Because of Left-wing Views: ‘They Didn’t Like My Politics’

Whoopi Goldberg claimed on “The View” that a popular Staten Island bakery refused to serve her because of her political views, but the bakery’s owner has denied the allegations.

During Wednesday’s episode of “The view“, Goldberg and her co-hosts celebrated her 69th birthday with Charlotte Russe desserts, a nostalgic New York treat that Goldberg shared was her mother’s favorite.

Goldberg told the audience that her birthday order almost fell through because of what she claimed was the bakery’s objection to her left-wing political stance.

“They said their furnaces had broken down, all kinds of things, but people went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them,” Goldberg said. She claimed her order was rejected not because of her gender, but rather because “they didn’t like my politics.”

Despite the possible rejection, Goldberg encouraged her audience and co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin to dig into the Charlotte Russe desserts.

“But it’s okay, because you know what? Look, it’s my mom’s celebration,” Goldberg said. “Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thanks everyone for celebrating my birthday today.”

Entertainment Weekly later identified the bakery as Holtermann’s Bakery, a 145-year-old family-owned business in Staten Island, by researching the Charlotte Russe desserts themselves. The packaging – pink dots on a white paper cup – was allegedly a sign that the desserts came from the family’s bakery.

Bakery owner Jill Holtermann denied Goldberg’s version of events, explaining that the bakery’s problems were not politically motivated, but stemmed from mechanical problems with their boilers, an ongoing challenge in their building, which was built in 1930.

“I told Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,'” Holtermann told the outlet. “We have so many things going on with my cauldron.”

Holtermann confirmed that she ultimately managed to make 50 treats, which were picked up early Wednesday morning for “The View’s” taping.

Holtermann reiterated that her inability to immediately confirm the order had nothing to do with Goldberg’s political beliefs, adding, “I didn’t want to make a commitment that I can’t carry out,” given the existing technical difficulties.

Staten Island live reported that the Holtermanns have been “bombarded” with calls since the episode aired.
