"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."

Those cackling hens are such a joke, I can’t imagine who even watches that idiot show.
Don’t let the door hit you in your enormous a**!
Wake me when she quits The View and retires for good, so long as we don’t have to hear her distorted views of life anymore.
A lot of like minds...
That Musk, crazy like a fox. The riff raff flees while normal, decent people rediscover Twitter. Many more normal people to make money off of than whatever that Whoopi thing is.
Well, that’s one way of filtering out misinformation.
Elon wanted to charge her $16.00 per month to get the blue check mark.
Could you leave the country now, too??
She lies.
What’s she hiding under those bed clothes ,LOL
“Does this parachute make me look fat?”
Wouldn't it be funny if Elon's response was, "Your wish is my command, Whoopsie-- BAM! you're banned!"
Quitter!
They give pigs a bad name
Twitter gets a plus from subtraction of Whoopie. Addition through subtraction.
But, Whoopie needs to quit the country too, since it’s going the same way as Twitter. How is she going to be able to survive in a country that’s trending red?
At least Whoopi isn’t wearing those misogynist high heels like the rest. Not that she could, but still.
Free the feet!
Valerie Bertinelli alomost got herself suspended from Twitter a few days ago, for imitating Elon.
She used Elon’s name to make a point about it being hard to verify who’s really speaking, at least that was her excuse.
Looks like PORK to me.
Well, I guess this begs for the question:
Q: How do you know when a celebrity deletes their Twitter account?
A: Don’t worry...they’ll tell you...then they’ll explain why they came back when they re-establish their accounts later.
Don’t just leave Twitter, Loopie, leave the country. (Would I be going too far to say “leave the planet”?)
