While I enjoy Charlotte Russe on The view, Whoopi Goldberg recently insinuated that the bakery that made it had refused to serve her because of her political views. While Goldberg did not identify the bakery by name, it was easy for viewers to identify it by the distinctive packaging.

Bakery responds to Whoopi Goldberg’s accusation that it refused her service because of political views

While celebrating her 69th birthday on The View, Whoopi Goldberg suggested that the bakery that made the Charlotte Russe desserts the actor enjoyed had refused her service because of her left-leaning political views.

Goldberg said:

“My birthday dessert today was one of my mom’s favorites since she was little. She talked about these all the time. They’re called Charlotte Russe. It’s a sponge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Let me tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political tilts.The place that made these refused to make them for me.

They said their furnaces had gone out, but people went and got them anyway, that’s why I won’t tell you who made them. It’s not because I’m a woman, but maybe they didn’t like my politics. But that’s okay because you know what? Listen, this is my mother’s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you all for celebrating my birthday today.”

Talking to Entertainment TonightJill Holtermann, owner of Holtermann’s Bakery, reiterated that a pan issue kept them from committing to Goldberg’s order, not The View host’s political views. She explained that Goldberg had tried to place an order for Charlotte Russe deserts for a November 6 appearance on a talk show and for the November 13 edition of The View. Holtermann declined both orders because she didn’t want to make a commitment she wasn’t sure she could fulfill.

Holtermann said an unidentified woman picked up 50 Charlotte Russe desserts from the bakery at 7:30 a.m. EST on Nov. 13 but was not aware if she had any connection to The View.

According to Fox NewsStaten Island Borough President Vito Fossella came to the bakery’s defense at a press conference:

“It has been here for 145 years. They had a boiler that was 60 or 70 years old. And the first week of November, guess what? It went smoothly. They got it replaced. And Holtermann’s reputation is impeccable, so instead of committing to something they couldn’t guarantee, they said, “We can’t do it.” And the person who slandered, slandered them, took it as an insult to her. Well, get over it. This family will be here for, God willing, another 145 years.”

Holtermann thanked the public for supporting the bakery and allowed her to address Goldberg’s allegations.
