Whoopi Goldberg outraged at the news of criminal Anna Delvey joining ‘DWTS,’ vowing to boycott ABC unless they stop it (video) – Full video below👇👇👇
Whoopi Goldberg has expressed strong outrage over reports that Anna Delvey, the convicted scammer, might join the next season of “Dancing with the Stars.” The talk show host and actress voiced her concerns during an episode of “The View,” warning that she would boycott ABC if the network proceeds with allowing Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, to participate.
Goldberg emphasized her disdain for platforms offering visibility to convicted criminals, stating that such decisions could set a dangerous precedent.
In a passionate outburst, Goldberg remarked, “Giving someone like Anna Delvey a chance to become a celebrity after defrauding people is unacceptable.” She further added that her refusal to support the network would extend to her own shows and appearances on ABC if Delvey’s involvement with “DWTS” moves forward.
ABC and the “DWTS” production team have yet to confirm Delvey’s participation, though rumors have been circulating widely. The network has previously faced backlash for casting controversial public figures, but Goldberg’s public vow to boycott adds significant pressure on the decision-makers behind the scenes.
The video of Goldberg’s comments has since gone viral, sparking intense online debates about rehabilitation, redemption, and what qualifies as entertainment.
