Whoopi Goldberg Slams Meghan Markle on National TV: A Shocking Takedown That Left ‘The View’ in Silence
It was a moment few expected—and one Meghan Markle likely didn’t see coming. During a recent episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg delivered a blistering on-air takedown of the Duchess of Sussex that sent shockwaves through the studio. As co-hosts Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Joy Behar sat in stunned silence, Goldberg systematically dismantled Meghan’s latest projects, calling them unoriginal, professionally unstable, and deeply out of touch with the demands of Hollywood and public expectation.
The immediate target of Goldberg’s critique was Meghan’s upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, a cozy cooking and lifestyle show featuring gardens, homegrown produce, and heartwarming chats. But according to Goldberg, the show bears an uncanny resemblance to Pamela Anderson’s earlier release Pamela’s Cooking With Love. “It’s not just similar—it’s practically the same,” Goldberg noted sharply. “We’re in an era where content needs to be bold and new. You can’t build a career mimicking others and expect to be taken seriously.” Her words were direct, her tone razor-sharp—and the usually lively studio was frozen in disbelief.
As if the plagiarism accusations weren’t enough, Goldberg turned her focus to Markle’s growing professional challenges. Reports have emerged that talent agency WME has cut ties with Meghan, citing irreconcilable tensions and rumored difficulties in working with her. Though the agency denies the split was personal, Goldberg didn’t hold back. “In Hollywood, when your agency walks away, that’s a message. You’ve got to ask—what’s really going wrong behind the scenes?”
Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, didn’t escape scrutiny either. Goldberg addressed the backlash over its alleged logo plagiarism and its failure to distinguish itself in a saturated market already dominated by names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kourtney Kardashian. “There’s no shame in starting fresh,” Goldberg said. “But if your brand is built on copying others and lacks a clear voice—it’s just noise. And the public sees through that.”
What truly stunned viewers was Goldberg’s final blow—raising once again the allegations of bullying by Meghan, including reports from former staff who claimed emotional distress and toxic workplace conditions. “When your message is kindness, and people around you are saying the opposite, you’ve got a serious image problem,” she warned.
Viewer reactions flooded social media within minutes:
💬 “Whoopi just said what the rest of Hollywood’s been whispering for years.” — @RealTalkTV
💬 “I used to root for Meghan, but this makes me question everything.” — @WokeAndWatching
💬 “Finally someone in media calls out the branding smoke and mirrors.” — @TruthWins
Whoopi Goldberg’s commentary wasn’t just a media moment—it was a reckoning. Her message was clear: Meghan Markle’s star power isn’t enough to carry her forward without substance, originality, and accountability. If Markle wants to rebuild her image and career, she may need to do more than launch another project—she may need to completely redefine herself.
