Whoopi Goldberg Returned To “The View” And Revealed She Now Uses A Walker Because Of Sciatica
65-year-old Whoopi Goldberg had been missing from The View for almost a week, leaving Meghan McCain unchecked for seven days so her malevolent energies could grow. The last time Whoopi had an extended absence from the show it was because she almost died of pneumonia. Health issues struck again, as People says that Whoopi was gone this time for issues with sciatica which has given her some bulging disc problems. Now the Dragon Tamer is forced to use a walker.
Whoopi returned to The View yesterday with a message to us about her health issues. Whoopi is not the fresh young nun she once was and can no longer see well enough to drive. Now her back has betrayed her too, and nerve pain is giving her problems walking. She said on the show:
“Yes, it’s me, I’m back. I was out because I was dealing with something called sciatica, which is basically a bulging disc in your back and it impacts the sciatic nerve, which sends pain down your leg.”
Goldberg then jokingly likened the pain condition to a “bad boyfriend who came back to mess with me.
“So there I was, trying to move my leg — impossible to do… It was really horrible, but I’m glad to be here.”
“I have a walker, which kind of freaks me out I didn’t know that I needed it,” Goldberg continued, adding that after taking the “first step with the walker, this my new best friend… I’m just gliding along. So that’s what happened to me. I was told it comes out of nowhere.”
God, getting old is absolutely heinous–I get why Kris Jenner sacrifices all those virgins. Joy Behar said she too had sciatica when she was younger and told Whoopi she looked well-rested. Whoopi replied:
“Well, what can you do? I’ve turned into this little old Black lady. It’s really strange.”
Here’s Whoopi’s revelation–and let me just add that Meghan McCain’s hairstylist needs to be fucking arrested already:

Well damn, poor Whoopi. I can’t believe that now she has walking issues, that can’t be fun. On the bright side, at least Whoopi can now go full NOT THE ONE on Meghan, and throw that walker the next time Meghan acts out of pocket.
