"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."

Stupid move and isn’t ironic the show she’s on is called the View?
She'll be back. If she even leaves at all. These self-important celebrities will quickly miss their little platform from which they can spew inanities, silly thoughts and snarky remarks to their adoring (in their minds) followers.
Canada when?!
She’s on Twitter right now watching for reactions to her announcement.
From the picture it looks like Twitter would have problems with her BANDWIDTH.
Just curious if the door has hit her in her fat ass yet?
I see she’s now left to wearing bed linens for dresses
One less fat slob to contend with....
Whoppi, don’t let the electronic door hit you in your fat @$$ on the way out.
With her and some others gone YOU win a decent site! And YOU win a decent site! And YOU win a decent site!
She’s unable to defend her positions - that’s why. She doesn’t want to try to articulate the nonsensical.
They make it sound like it’s a bad thang!.................
Jabba in the middle. Sheesh. Go home and layoff the carbs, big mama.
Maybe she can make her own twatter.
She can follow Kathy Griffin over to mstdn.social.
Fugly and stupid.
So, the turd bailed before Musk pulled the flush handle?
It seems she raided André Talley’s wardrobe after he passed.
Hope all SNOWFLAKES feel that way. Good-bye.
