Staten Island leaders demanded Whoopi Goldberg apologize for falsely claiming a Big Apple bakery refused to serve her sweet treats because of her lefty politics — as the family-run business was inundated with orders.
“The View” co-host sparked widespread outrage this week when she alleged that the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island declined to make her a batch of Charlotte Russe desserts due to her political beliefs.
“Recently someone took to the national airwaves and defamed, frankly, this family business,” borough president, Vito Fossella, fumed at a news conference held outside the bakery on Friday.
“We’re here to stand up for one of the best families and businesses, not just in Staten Island but in the country.
“Frankly, the people who defamed the Holtermann family should apologize … for making stuff up to suit their needs. Not everybody wakes up every day and thinks about politics,” he added.
The bakery has insisted they were having mechanical issues with their 60-year-old boiler when Goldberg initially tried to place the Nov. 13 order so she could celebrate her 69th birthday on-air — and that her political beliefs had nothing to do with it.
Now, in the wake of Goldberg’s disparaging remarks, owner Jill Holtermann said they’ve been flooded with orders from across the country.
“I really am overwhelmed,” Holtermann told The Post. “I’m so happy to have the support. Just to have people come out and talk and build up my business.”
The owner said she’s had people calling up from as far as Alabama and Tennessee so they can donate orders of baked goods to nearby schools and first responders in a bid to drum up business.

What would be the damages? Seems the slander backfired on its source and the bakery prospered.
Report back on the cannolis. 😊
Now there's a TV pitch: mini series, each episode a View hostess goes on the couch, televised live, no cuts, no interruptions, one hour a week.
Watch how fast the left abandons the whole trans agenda. Walz was a huge mistake and they need to erase the whole trans movement from the country’s memory. All those kids they transitioned are just collateral damage. Newsom is going to hug the moderate position for the next 4 years. We must never forget.
“Bloviating cow is a compliment.”
Bloviating cow turd is a compliment.
“It won’t be just Whoopi but the network that hosts The Spew can be sued as well. what is that ABC? The lawyers will go after them as well.”
Bring her up on civil rights charges and have the new AG for the Southern District of NY take the case.
Every time the left makes up a fake “Jessie Smolet” story a new group of people get red pilled. The left is doing it so often a majority of people are seeing that the sky is actually not falling.
Whoopi Little.
The Whoopi that cried wolf!
Whoopi selects her grave site her idea of heaven.
The Streisand Effect in action.
Bakeries all over the country are clambering to get Whoopi to bad-mouth them.
What was equally disgusting, and it may have been mentioned, in the replay of the event, the gal to her immediate left was eating a cupcake and she gagged/spit it out on the plate, when Whoops told her lie.
Liberals accuse conservatives of what they do themselves.
Whoopie is making the same claim as Little Red Hen incident
which in every way is the same EXCEPT THAT IT IS FALSE.
I suppose I should have pointed that out in my previous post. (-:
Even if she does issue an apology I’d call 🐂💩. It’ll just be some meaningless disingenuous PR generated crap. Here’s hoping the owners sue the living you-know-what out of Medusa Head and ABC
