Whoopi Goldberg has broken her silence to address rumors that she was on the infamous Jeffrey Epstein list.
Goldberg Denies Epstein Ties
During last Thursday’s episode of her ABC talk show “The View,” Goldberg denied the “insane” rumors that she was linked to the late billionaire pedophile Epstein.
“Apparently they said I was on an island, and I’m like, ‘I don’t go anywhere,’” Goldberg said. “So I’m just going to say — and there’s just been a lot of stuff recently, I don’t know what I’ve done to anybody — but apparently there are a lot of the sites and they’re satire sites and people don’t realise they can be harmful.”
“I never got kicked out of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant,” she added. “I never got kicked out of Guy Fieri’s restaurant. I didn’t get kicked off Bill Maher’s show. I didn’t get into a fight with Oprah backstage here at ‘The View.’ I mean, it just goes — it’s insane. It goes on and on and on.”’
Goldberg concluded her denial by claiming to be a direct person.
“Back to me,” she stated. “Don’t believe unless I tell you about me. You’ll know if I am doing something. I’ll let you know! I have nothing to hide. I don’t care what people think. If I like doing it, I’m gonna let you know.’
“But if they told you Oprah was backstage and you didn’t see Oprah on the show … It’s so insane!” Goldberg concluded. “And you know I don’t go anywhere! Unless I tell you I went somewhere. OK? Are we good?”

Jimmy Kimmel’s Epstein Denial
Yahoo News reported that other celebrities who found themselves on Epstein’s list include Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett. The liberal late night host Jimmy Kimmel issued a vehement denial after the NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers suggested that his name might be on the list.
“Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality,” Kimmel wrote on the social media platform X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
“Your reckless words put my family in danger,” he added. “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

Bill Clinton Is On Epstein List
CBS News reported that this list stems from a now-settled defamation lawsuit brought in 2015 by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of enabling her abuse by Epstein. Maxwell is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for her role in the crimes of Epstein, who allegedly committed suicide while awaiting trial back in August of 2019.
One of the most prominent names on the list is the former President Bill Clinton, who one accuser described as “a good friend” of Epstein’s. Clinton even appeared on manifests for Epstein’s private jet, on which he said he had taken four trips “in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation.”
Goldberg’s blistering denial of being tied to Epstein just goes to show how panicked some very powerful people are over this right now. What do you think about the Epstein list? Let us know in the comments section.
