In a shocking move, “The View” has announced that co-host Whoopi Goldberg will be interviewing WNBA superstar Brittney Griner on an upcoming episode of the popular daytime talk show.
The interview is expected to be a fascinating discussion about Griner’s career, her personal life, and her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, but not everyone is thrilled about the choice of guest.
According to anonymous sources within the network, some executives at ABC are concerned that the interview could be too controversial and may offend some viewers.
They worry that the discussion of LGBTQ+ rights and Griner’s personal life may not be suitable for daytime television and could lead to a backlash from conservative viewers.
“Look, we love Whoopi and we love Brittney, but we’re not sure this is the right move for the show,” said a network insider who wished to remain anonymous.
“We’re concerned that some viewers might be uncomfortable with the subject matter, and we don’t want to risk losing our audience.”
Despite the concerns, Goldberg is standing by her choice of guest and is determined to have an honest and open discussion with Griner.
She believes that the interview is an opportunity to raise awareness about important issues and to give a platform to a talented and inspiring athlete.
“I don’t care if it’s controversial, I don’t care if some viewers don’t like it,” Goldberg said in a statement. “Brittney Griner is an incredible athlete and a powerful advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and I am honored to have her on the show. We need more voices like hers in the world, and I’m proud to be a part of that.”
Fans of “The View” are applauding Goldberg’s decision and are eagerly anticipating the interview. They believe that the discussion of LGBTQ+ rights is long overdue on daytime television and that Griner’s story is one that needs to be told.
Only time will tell if the interview will be a success or if it will lead to a backlash from conservative viewers. For now, “The View” is forging ahead with its plans, and Goldberg and Griner are preparing for what is sure to be a memorable conversation.
