Whoopi Goldberg walks off “The View” table during foot fetish discussion
"Whoopi has left the building."
The View's Hot Topics table got a little too steamy for Whoopi Goldberg.
The moderator and Oscar-winning actress walked off the show's primary set Tuesday morning, as she grew comically frustrated by the show's cohosts discussing foot fetishes.
The 68-year-old summarized a recent headline about a man whose wife didn't allow him to give her foot massages because he had a foot fetish, and the ladies subsequently went wild with takes on the unorthodox segment — all while Goldberg mostly sat in her seat with her head in her hands.
"Excuse me for a second, keep talking" Goldberg said, right after Alyssa Farah Griffin said that a spouse should "entertain your partner's kink within reason."
"Whoopi has left the building," Griffin quipped as Goldberg walked past Joy Behar, pausing to jokingly give the comedian a death stare, and dropped off what appeared to be a pamphlet just out of frame before returning to her post.

Whoopi Goldberg walks off 'The View' table"You know, not to brag, but my feet have created foot fetishes out there, so I can't really respond to this because I feel that I'm responsible for the fetishes," Behar added as Goldberg took her seat again. Behar was referencing her feet's costarring role on The View over the last year, as she famously got a foot massage from Matthew McConaughey live on air in September, months before comedian Matt Rogers exposed that he saw the 81-year-old riding an airplane barefoot in December.
Before the show cut to commercial, Behar asked Goldberg why she felt compelled to leave the table.
"Because I was so enamored by what you were saying that I felt that I needed to take a breath so I could just get myself together so I could come back to the table," Goldberg replied. "This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move. I don't care, because my feet are huge, and no one wants to touch them."
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC. Watch Goldberg get up from the Hot Topics table in the video above.
