Whoopi Goldberg, a co-host of ABC's "The View," is a frequent target of false rumors online.
For example, fictional stories have claimed that Goldberg's mansion burned down in the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires; she said she was leaving the United States with soccer star Megan Rapinoe and billionaire Elon Musk was suing her and "The View" over comments about him on the show.
Those are just a sample of made-up claims about Goldberg published by social media accounts or websites that describe their output as humorous or satirical in nature. More are below.
Such rumors about celebrities are designed to drive clicks and generate views, not to report factual information. Still, many readers take them at face value, believing them to be true.
