Whoopi Goldberg must think that because she’s one of only 18 people to hit the grand slam of awards that she’s special somehow. When she showed up at the Oscars, however, she learned that she’s not.
The EGOT walked confidently toward the red carpet before the show’s producer himself, Joe Barron, approached her and asked her to leave.
“I told her we asked her not to come after the horrible things she’s said about the Jews,” said Barron, “as well as her nasty insults about white people. She really ran the gauntlet on making new enemies.”
The academy officially removed her from its list three years ago, but each year she just keeps showing up like she’s hosting the thing. “We keep sending her emails,” said Barron, “but she just refuses to respond.”
