Whoopi Goldberg, Michaele Salahi get in backstage 'View' fight
This one involved White House party crasher Michaele Salahi and Whoopi Goldberg. While Salahi got involved in talking with Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd about The Real Housewives of D.C. show with the other "housewives," Whoopi walked out from backstage, touched her and apparently said, "Excuse me, can you get back to the White House" conversation. It all happened so quickly that viewers could barely see it. It happens
After the show was over, however, an angry and teary Salahi got into a shouting match backstage with Whoopi. According to a show publicist, "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."
In a statement released this morning, Salahi's lawyer Lisa Bloom claims Salahi was "treated very poorly by the hosts of the show" and that her client never accused Whoopi of hitting her.
