Whoopi Goldberg has addressed online speculation after her name appeared in newly released court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking on The View, Goldberg clarified that her mention in the files was connected to a 2013 email about arranging travel to a charity event in Monaco. According to the document, organizers were seeking a private jet after her scheduled flight fell through. Goldberg firmly denied any personal relationship or association with Epstein, expressing frustration over claims suggesting otherwise. She emphasized that being named in documents does not indicate wrongdoing and said the situation had been misrepresented online.

Goldberg also spoke broadly about how quickly rumors can spread, especially when court records are released without context. She noted that many well-known public figures have appeared in similar documents, but inclusion alone does not imply involvement in criminal activity. The documents in question were unsealed as part of earlier legal proceedings connected to Epstein’s former associate, and officials have reiterated that names listed are not automatically linked to misconduct. Goldberg urged viewers to rely on verified facts rather than speculation circulating on social media.
