Fans of the hit morning talk show "The View" are demanding Whoopi Goldberg's firing for going "crazy" while on air.
Many of the show's fans have called on producers to shake up the cast after the popular show faced a series of recent gaffes.
On Friday, Whoopi, 66, took part in the panel and spoke about parenting when she used the word 'a **', leaving fans shocked.
Goldberg said, "Sometimes you have to be an idiot to be a parent."
The actress and comedian's language did not go down well with fans, as they took to Twitter to share their views.
One wrote, "Whoopi and Sunny [Hostin]'s foul language was too much today."
Another posted, "Someone needs to start stopping Whoopi. I have a feeling someone will someday not let her assert herself, which will make Whoopi go completely insane, honestly. She's gotten exponentially worse this season, so I hope her next contract negotiation is time to leave or work fewer days.
A third said, "... I have no idea what ABC thinks is going on here. They take several women with no real credibility and let them talk day in and day out and are surprised that someone says something stupid one day."
'Totally agree with Whoopi. Shut down any opinion she disagrees with,' a fourth said while a fifth hammered her as," So out of touch [with reality]."
Other fans were not impressed after the hosts used profanity while discussing gun control.
Some viewers "had to turn off the show" because they couldn't tolerate the unnecessary language. Some others had children at home during their summer vacation months who can easily overhear the television broadcast.
Earlier this year, Sharon Osborne accused ABC of not removing Whoopi Goldberg from "The View" even after minimizing the Holocaust, because according to her, "no one gives a fuck" about Jews.
Osbourne, 68, expressed concerns about a double standard when in March 2021 she was fired from CBS's rival show "The Talk" after defending British newscaster Piers Morgan's criticism of Meghan Markle, despite Goldberg keeping her job after February comments that 'the Holocaust was not a race issue."
When The Times asked about the double standard, she said: 'I'll tell you why, because it's the Jews, and nobody gives a f**k.
Osbourne, whose music producer father, Don Arden, was Jewish, added that he likes Goldberg and was pointing out the hypocrisy of show business, rather than personally attacking the "Ghost" star.
The drama with Osbourne began when Morgan left the British chat show "Good Morning Britain" on March 9, 2021 after saying he did not believe Markle was suicidal in the wake of an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
When asked to comment on her remarks on "The Talk" the following day, Osbourne said that while she disagreed with Morgan, she supported his right to express his own view.
Her co-star Sheryl Underwood, who is black, responded forcefully and accused Osbourne of minimizing Morgan's comments and giving "validation" to her "racist" views.
Osbourne was later permanently suspended from her role on the show and resigned. In October, Osbourne revealed that CBS made Underwood take an anger management class because she "had three complaints about her from different producers about the way she treated them."
