Whoopi Goldberg, once a beloved figure in Hollywood, achieved acclaim for her roles in iconic films such as “The Color Purple” and “Ghost.” She also made notable appearances in Star Trek and performed stand-up comedy annually for Jerry Lewis.

However, a turning point in her career occurred when she joined the panel of “The View,” leading to a decline in her public image. In fact, she recently earned the title of “The most disliked person in Hollywood” in a poll conducted among her industry colleagues.

Former producer Joe Barron commented on the challenges faced by “The View,” stating, “They struggle to secure guests for the show, often having to convince individuals in town for filming, as local residents avoid participating.”

This poll initially circulated among members of the Screen Actors’ Guild before becoming widely known on the internet. An overwhelming 82 percent of respondents voted against Goldberg, citing her “unpleasant demeanor” as a primary reason.

The poll was submitted to the SAG’s Conservative Committee for consideration, with Scott Baio initiating the motion and James Woods seconding it. The remaining six actors present at the meeting unanimously supported the motion, while Kevin Sorbo voted by proxy. Roseanne Barr vociferously cast her vote from her current location.

The sole dissenting voice came from Clint Eastwood, who struggled with the technology involved, attributing his difficulty to the “dadgum Zoom thing” on his great-great-grandson’s preschool iPad.

It’s undoubtedly challenging when your standing within your own professional circle deteriorates. Perhaps it’s time for Whoopi Goldberg to consider retirement and explore new horizons. God Bless America.
