The View's Whoopi Goldberg takes aim at viewers by fake crying and yelling 'boo hoo'

Whoopi Goldberg made fun of The View fans as she revealed the panellists had a top secret discussion during an advert break which she says will never be aired.

The 67-year-old TV host then mocked viewers as she pretended to cry while live on air while shouting "boo hoo".

During the show, Whoopi looked at the camera to introduce the next topic before bursting into a fit of laughter.

Trying to compose herself, she said: "I'm still trying to get over a conversation we just had in between which I can't really tell you about."

She then shouted: "So boo hoo," while scrunching her eyes and rubbing them with her fists.

Whoopi eventually managed to compose herself before introducing the next topic.

The actress was recently forced to speak out after being branded an "old broad" during a live broadcast of The View.

She was greeted with a cheering crowd as she entered the studio, but not all audience members were supportive of her.

As Whoopi opened the show, someone in the crowd heckled her. Turning to them, she asked: "Did you just call me an old broad?"

The panellist seemed to see the funny side as she told the audience: "It is Wednesday, and I am an old broad and happy about it."

However, Whoopi was forced to speak out about the incident after the wrong person was blamed for heckling her and said she wanted to "set the record straight".

She said: "During our walkout, an audience member yelled out, 'You old broad', which led us to joke around with the audience.

"We are on live television so the cameras show the audience laughing and applauding during our exchange, and focused on a different audience member than the one who actually yelled old broad.

"Which led to some folks incorrectly accusing this particular woman of incorrectly heckling me so I'm clearing this woman's good name.

"She's a loyal audience member, an upstanding citizen, and a View fan. You know, we can't do this show without the support of viewers like her and viewers like you, so please leave her alone!" Whoopi urged.

She added: "This was a jokey, light moment, relax everybody okay!"
