Whoopi Goldberg's Absence on 'The View' Sparks Concern

Hey there, friends. If you've been tuning into The View lately, you might have noticed something’s a little off. Whoopi Goldberg, the beloved comedian and actress, has been missing from the panel since February 5. Her fellow cohost, Joy Behar, revealed that Whoopi is recovering from pneumonia. But as days turn into weeks, fans are understandably worried about Whoopi, who's 63 years old. Let’s dive into what’s really going on.

On February 20, Joy Behar, who’s 76, took a moment during the ABC show to address the audience and fans. She wanted everyone to know exactly why the star of Ghost hasn’t been on the show recently. “She’s not feeling well,” Joy explained. “She’s actually recovering from pneumonia. I saw her last night, and let me tell you, she’s still as funny as ever. We had a great laugh. She’s on her way back, and she’s definitely getting better.” But some fans are wondering if there’s more to the story.

Whoopi's Health Status: What We Know So Far

Let’s be honest here, pneumonia is no joke, especially for someone Whoopi’s age. A source exclusively told Closer Weekly that the cast and crew haven’t heard anything other than pneumonia, which is serious enough in itself. Fans of the Sister Act star were quick to react on Instagram when they heard about her battle with illness. “We miss you, Whoopi. Please get back in that chair soon,” one fan commented. Another added, “Miss you terribly. I hope you are recovering and will be back healthy and happy soon.”

Some fans are really digging deep, trying to figure out what’s truly going on with Whoopi. One fan even consulted a tarot reader, who reportedly claimed that Whoopi is in the hospital in critical condition. “Hope she’s wrong. Get well, Godspeed Whoopi. God bless. Why don’t people get the pneumonia vaccine, especially over 50?” they wrote. Another fan had a conspiracy theory, saying, “I started really thinking something serious. It started after Joy AGAIN trying to pacify us. When Joy was done, her face said it all, and for me, she looked worried and concerned. Us View and Whoopi lovers are damned concerned. We’re f-in worried. Love and healing.”
