Fans Are Noticing Whoopi Goldberg’s Weight Loss

On Reddit, one fan of The View introduces a topic: “Whoopi’s weight loss.” Then they elaborate briefly adding, “I didn’t scroll to check, but has there been conversation about Whoopi’s weight loss? She’s considerably smaller than at the start of the season, yet no mention on the show that I’ve seen. Maybe I missed it. Good for her, but hopefully she’s been or will be open and informative about how she did it.” Furthermore, other fans began to comment on what they observed.

What Fans Are Saying

After the initial Reddit user opened the conversation about The View moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, other fans rushed to give their thoughts:

  • “I’m sure she is on Ozempic.”
  • “Oh absolutely, she has many health issues the past 5 years, so it makes sense.”
  • “I’m not at all against any of the meds for weight loss. I’m happy it worked for some, but it would be great if Whoopi (and Sunny) admitted that they are using meds.”
  • “All I noticed is she looks really good. I thought it was her hair pulled back a bit. We get to see her beautiful face again.”
  • “I thought she looked thinner today as well.”

Other Fans Chime In On Whoopi Goldberg’s Weight Loss

Although several believe it was related to the weight loss drug Ozempic, many discussed Whoopi Goldberg’s battle with health issues:

  • “She probably put on weight when her back was out and docs put her on steroids to control the inflammation. I blow up like a balloon on steroids. I put on 25 pounds after surgery! It came off when I stopped taking them, but I also had to work out.”
  • “She had health issues for a while that she said had her on steroids. She’s been off them a while. That could be part of it.”
  • “I mentioned on another thread that I thought Whoopi looked thinner when she walked out. Even her face looks thinner. One person responded saying she looked the same to them so thanks for confirming what I thought.”
  • “I saw it today. I’d guess she’s taking something. If it makes her happier and healthier, then good for her.”
  • “I think her hair was pulled back and she wasnt wearing glasses.”
