Whoppi Responds To The Salahi's

Post from the Examiner.com.

Thursday LIVE on The View, Whoopi will respond to the unfounded and erroneous accusations made by Michaele and Tareq Salahi. Tune in Thursday on ABC at 11a/10a pt/c.

Here's the official response from ABC regarding today's broadcast of The View:

"At one point during Michaele Salahi’s appearance on The View on Wednesday, Whoopi lightly touched Ms. Salahi to get her attention and said to her “Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please,” meaning could Ms. Salahi return to the original subject of the conversation. After the show, Ms. Salahi and her husband accused Whoopi of hitting Ms. Salahi. As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded and erroneous. After the show and after being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally from this baseless claim in a heated exchange with the Salahi’s."

 Below is  an excerpt from Radar Online that gives a few more details of the exchange. 

“When the segment ended Michaele burst into tears backstage and several people came up to talk to her and she found an office,” Bloom said.

At that point, Whoopi unleashed a few f-bombs on her morning show guest, says Bloom.


“Whoopi came in and according to Michaele said, ‘I don't think I f**king hit you. What the f**k is this.’”


Michaele responded, according to Bloom, “What are you talking about?”


And Whoopi said, “Someone said that you said I hit you,” Bloom recalled to RadarOnline.com of the chain of events.


“Whoopi berated her and dropped the f-bomb many times,” Bloom said. “Michaele was devastated.”


Bloom said Michaele thinks she has been treated badly by the show.


“She is not asking for apology, but Bloom said, "I think they deserve an apology. It’s outrageous and I’m surprised this would happen.”
