"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg announced Monday that she plans to quit Twitter after billionaire Elon Musk's takeover but said she might come back if she feels "comfortable."
"So it has been a little over a week since Elon Musk took over Twitter and the place, it’s a mess… He also suspended Kathy Griffin for impersonating him on a parody account, which has started a FreeKathy hashtag to trend. I’m — I’m getting off. I’m getting off today because I just feel like, you know, it’s so messy," Goldberg said.
Goldberg said she was tired of "attitudes" that have been blocked and are now back on the site.
"I’m going to get out, and if it settles down and I feel more comfortable, maybe I’ll come back," she said. "But as of tonight, I’m done with Twitter."
"Some speech is not OK free speech," she said of the debate over what constitutes protected speech. "You know what? This is our problem, but it ain't my problem today, because I'm out."
Goldberg rarely tweets, but the acclaimed actress and entertainer still has over 1 million followers.
"To everyone, Thanks for everything!" she wrote on Monday after the show. "Until we meet again! Love, Whoop."
Co-host Sunny Hostin said a lot of people felt this way about Twitter since Musk had taken over. Hostin said, "you’ve got this Elon Musk turning it into something that it was never intended to be. It’s going to be the public square. Well I don’t want to be part of that public square, but I also don’t want to miss the valuable information that can be put on there."

Like announcing that the cat’s box just got cleaned out...
Well, that there is worth $44 billion! Nice work, Elon. The jury’s still out about you in general, but you seem to be pissing off all the right people so far!
There’s a whole lot of lard on the hoof right there! Especially Caryn Johnson!!!!
Yeah, like she was going to leave America should Trump win; the hypocrite is still here.
Musk should do that for her.
Where does she shop for clothes? The REI tent department?
Oh no, not another Twat leaving Twitter. What will Twitter do?
My mother, bless her heart, gets all her political information from this wretched collection of awful loudmouthed clowns. Sadly, many women her age do the same.
Did she just delete her account. Or tweet she was leaving. Then check to see how many viewed it and retweet it?
Precisely whose loss is Whoopie’s departure?
Who cares what Whuppie does.
I see Whoopi shops at Omar’s Tent City.
I wonder if PIAPS gave her the address?
Just evil and stupid, why is she anything someone listens to.
Bye then.
Do you think she fights with Hillary for tents at yard sales?
This was on in the dentist’s office waiting room, this morning.
Vile, disgusting harridans.
When in the exam room, I asked the tech if she had something for nausea, as I just sat through 30 minutes of that filth.
She had quite a laugh.
...because everyone needs to know what she does and why she does it, you know.
*puke*
Twitter is getting cleaner by the day.
Whoopie never had anything logical to say verbally or in the written word.
