WHOOPS! Whoopi Goldberg Breaks Silence After Her Name Surfaces in Epstein Files — Claims Being Listed “Does Not Mean Guilt”

Far-left Whoopi Goldberg was finally forced this week to address the growing controversy surrounding her name appearing in newly released DOJ documents tied to disgraced child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Before her name surfaced, The View hosts were loudly demanding the full release of the Epstein Files, now they’re suddenly suggesting that maybe not everyone named in those documents is actually guilty.

The latest batch of Epstein documents, unsealed by the Department of Justice, includes a May 8, 2013, email from a redacted sender to Epstein.

The message details arrangements for Goldberg to attend a charity event hosted by Julian Lennon’s White Feather Foundation in Monaco.

It reads: “Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco. John Lennon’s charity is paying for it… They don’t want to charter, so they are looking for private owners.” Epstein’s curt reply was “no thnaks,” indicating he passed on offering his Gulfstream II jet.

On Tuesday’s broadcast, a visibly defensive Goldberg attempted to get ahead of the brewing storm.

“In the name of transparency, my name is in the files. Yes!”

But Goldberg quickly moved to contain the political fallout, insisting that simply being named in documents connected to Epstein does not equate to guilt or involvement in criminal activity.

“I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend,” she said, adding, “I was not only too old, but it was at a time… you used to have to have facts before you said stuff.”

She lamented being “dragged” by online critics who assume guilt by association, claiming, “People actually believe that I was with him… no, I didn’t get on the plane.”

Behar appeared to echo a similar line of defense, brushing off concerns during a panel discussion.

Behar suggested that, well, maybe not everyone in the Epstein Files is guilty after realizing that her co-host’s name and Democrat elites appear in the documents.

Joy Behar: “We’re on the list because we were at a party or a wedding or something that somebody might have been at—that’s what I found out, anyway. This guy was at Trump’s wedding to Marla. Maybe Epstein was there, too. Who knows? That means that I’m not guilty, obviously. But these other ones—how are you going to decide who’s really guilty and who’s not? It’s very tricky.”
