As the co-hosts, including Sunny Hostin, delved into a discussion about former President Donald Trump and the classified documents investigation, Goldberg was caught on camera popping food into her mouth. Viewers expressed their displeasure on Twitter, one calling her behavior “annoying” and “disgusting,” while another asked, “@TheView Please someone explain why the hell Whoopi is eating at the table?”

Despite the criticism, Whoopi Goldberg’s snacking habit is not new. It’s become a characteristic quirk of hers, often leading to exasperated pleas from viewers, such as, “Stop eating for 5 mins Whoopi” and “WTF is Whoopi always eating while doing the show? The View is really hitting rock bottom.”
