Whoopi Goldberg Defends Claim That Bakery Refused Her Service After Backlash: ‘Seems a Little Odd’

  • Whoopi Goldberg is doubling down on her claim that a bakery refused to make the sweet treats she tried to order for her birthday
  • “It does seem a little odd that when we called a few weeks before my birthday and we were told they couldn’t process the order for my birthday because of an equipment failure,” she said in the follow-up video. “But somehow they were able to accept an order of a different 48 of the same dessert when somebody else called without using my name”
  • Ultimately, she didn’t let the incident ruin her special day. “It’s all okay, y’all, because I enjoyed my delicious dessert and I had a happy, sweet birthday,” she said, adding, “Nothing better than that”

The previous day, Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on The View with a tray of Charlotte Russe desserts, saying the bakery declined her initial order likely due to her “politics.” While the Sister Act star didn’t name the business, Entertainment Weekly identified the establishment as Holtermann’s Bakery in Staten Island and quoted its owner denying Goldberg’s claim.

On The View Wednesday, Goldberg shared that Charlotte Russe — which features layers of sponge cake, Bavarian cream and fruit — was one of her mom’s favorites.

Holtermann’s Bakery owner Jill Holtermann told EW that “it was not because of political” affiliations, but rather because “we were having trouble with our boilers.”

She also told the outlet that she was not aware that the customer was affiliated with Goldberg or The View.

PEOPLE reached out to Holtermann’s Bakery and to The View for further comment, but did not immediately hear back from either.
