EXCERPTS: "Now, in the name of transparency … my name is in the files,” Goldberg said before an email that mentioned her name appeared on the large screen behind her. In the email, an individual whose name has been redacted seems to be asking Epstein for help getting Goldberg a private plane so she could fly to Monaco to attend an event hosted by Julian Lennon’s charity, the White Feather Foundation.
“It says, ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco… Julian Lennon’s charity is paying for it. They don’t want to charter so they’re looking for private owners. Here’s the info,’” Goldberg said, reading directly from the email. “And they give all the information, and they’re saying, ‘Do you want to offer your G2?’”
[...] “And it looks like they said, ‘No thanks,’” Hostin remarked, referring to the late sex predator’s response.
“So, in other words, anyone can be on this list?” co-host Joy Behar asked.
“This is my point...” Goldberg said, visibly irritated. [...] Due to her name appearing in the files, a certain ilk of X users have decided this is indicative of her being in cahoots with Epstein...
[...] When Behar noted that President Donald Trump is featured in the files “38,000 times” during Tuesday’s episode, Goldberg retorted: “I can’t speak to him, but I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged.”
Goldberg continued: “People actually believe that I was with him. It’s like, honey, come on...”
Goldberg, who has a fear of flying, also said on Tuesday that she “didn’t get on the plane” because, “you know what I would have to do to get on the plane?”
“She doesn’t fly,” co-host Sara Haines replied. “She’s a bus babe!”
Haines also noted that Goldberg is just one of many famous names, like Marilyn Monroe [and Elvis Presley], that is included in the Epstein files for a variety of reasons. Other celebrities, like Jon Stewart and Joe Rogan, have also publicly addressed their names being mentioned in the files.

(July 2025) Whoopi Goldberg explains getting over fear of flying: Whoopi Goldberg has revealed that she's finally gotten over her anxieties when it comes to aviation travel. Goldberg addressed Tuesday on the talk show that fans have noticed her jet-setting escapades around the world. And there's a reason for that, she noted. The 69-year-old EGOT-winning entertainer told her current cohosts that she found a miracle cure for her fear of flying, after going on record in the past to admit that she used to ride around the country in a giant tour bus to get from gig to gig.
