In a jaw-dropping broadcast that has already been pulled from multiple streaming platforms, The View’s longtime moderator Whoopi Goldberg unleashed what insiders are calling “the most unhinged tirade ever seen on daytime TV” — targeting none other than WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.

What was supposed to be a harmless segment celebrating Clark’s latest triple-double turned into a headline-dominating firestorm that left co-hosts Joy Behar sobbing, Sunny Hostin walking off the set, and the studio in temporary lockdown as security reportedly intervened backstage.

“She’s a Symbol of What’s Wrong With This League!”

Without warning, Goldberg launched into an unscripted rant that caught even the show’s producers off-guard:

“This isn’t just basketball anymore. She’s a symbol — a carefully packaged face for a league that forgot its roots. She doesn’t belong. Not like this.”

The audience gasped. One woman was reportedly escorted out for shouting back at Whoopi during the live taping. The segment was immediately cut short, replaced with a rerun — the first emergency blackout in the show’s history.

Caitlin Clark’s 9-Word Response Broke the Internet

Less than an hour later, Caitlin Clark posted a cryptic but savage tweet:

“Let the game speak. I don’t need permission.”

Within minutes, the post had over 13 million views, trending in 47 states. NBA legends, WNBA MVPs, and Olympic icons responded in her defense, praising Clark’s grace under fire. Even Michelle Obama reportedly liked the tweet.

Internal Chaos at ABC: Is Whoopi Done?

According to two high-level insiders, ABC executives held an emergency conference call that same afternoon. One source claims:

“There’s real talk about removing Whoopi permanently. Her influence has protected her until now — but this crossed a legal and ethical line.”

Producers reportedly feared a PR collapse after advertisers began pulling pre-rolls from the show’s online episodes. “This isn’t just about Caitlin,” said another insider. “It’s about the network’s integrity, and how far we let commentary go before we call it what it is: hostility.”

Leaked Audio from Backstage: Joy Behar in Tears

A leaked clip from backstage moments after the broadcast shows Joy Behar saying:

“You humiliated all of us. This was about basketball — not race, not rage. You turned a highlight into a hate speech.”

Security was allegedly brought in as tensions rose, and for the first time in over a decade, Goldberg left the building without speaking to the press.

Fans Demand Accountability — or Cancellation

The hashtags #FireWhoopi and #IStandWithCaitlin have flooded social media, with fans calling for a public apology — or Whoopi’s immediate removal from the show.

Outside The View’s Manhattan studio, supporters gathered with signs reading “LET CAITLIN PLAY” and “BASKETBALL IS FOR EVERYONE.” One protestor said, “We watched a legend become a bully — it was heartbreaking.”

Final Word?

As of press time, Goldberg has remained silent. No apology. No clarification. Just a single Instagram post of her dog with the caption, “Peace is earned.”

Whether this moment spells the end of Whoopi’s daytime reign or merely sparks another chapter of controversy remains to be seen. But one thing is clear:

Caitlin Clark isn’t backing down — and now, neither is America.
