Recently, Whoopi Goldberg claimed that a bakery on Staten Island had turned down her birthday order due to her political beliefs.
She said on The View that the bakery gave her a variety of excuses, such as oven problems, but she suspected it was because of her liberal views.
Goldberg pointed out the delay in receiving the desserts, even though the order was eventually fulfilled.
The 145-year-old, family-run bakery, Holtermann’s, refuted the charge.
Owner Jill Holtermann clarified that it was not Goldberg’s politics but rather mechanical difficulties with their outdated boiler that caused the order to be delayed.
expressed annoyance at the criticism, claiming that infrastructure issues, not political disagreements, were to blame for the delay.
