Whoopi Goldberg is half the woman she used to be. The 69-year-old talk show host and comedienne returned to the stage in the UK with two back-to-back shows in London and Cardiff.
Whoopi was spotted leaving Fortnum & Mason department store in London on Friday. She looked thin and frail and her clothes were hanging off of her.
Whoopi previously discussed taking weight-loss drugs when she tipped the scales at 280 pounds.
Her comedy shows were promoted as possibly the last time to see Whoopi perform in the UK. She previously performed in London nearly a decade ago.
Whoopi opened her London show by warning there’ll be no politics tonight. Instead, she cracked jokes about menopause, loss, and what it’s like to be turning 70 on November 13. “I’m not your grandma’s 70. I’m a whole f–king different thing,” she joked.
Whoopi encourages kindness toward those who struggle with their weight every day.
“The View” co-host disagreed with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s criticism of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. She accused RFK of “setting folks up for shame.”
“What is the downside of a miracle drug that cuts that much out of the budget?” she asked. “And, if someone’s doctor examines them [and] prescribes the medication, shouldn’t that be the only metric of health care coverage?”
