The View\u2019s Whoopi Goldberg<\/a> is on hiatus from the daytime talk show all week, her co-host Joy Behar<\/a> shared Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are all jealous of Whoopi today because she’s in Italy \u2014 I hope it\u2019s 100 degrees,\u201d Behar said at the start of Monday\u2019s episode.<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s in Italy accepting an award for her book Bits and Pieces, so she will be out this week,\u201d Behar continued, referring to Goldberg\u2019s deeply personal 2024 memoir.<\/p>\n The long-running show will then go on a summer hiatus beginning June 30 before returning in July with new episodes.<\/p>\n Goldberg will resume her co-hosting duties July 7, along with Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.<\/a><\/p>\n Goldberg posted an Instagram photo Monday from the Taobuk Taormina International Book Festival, where she\u2019s being honored.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you (Grazie!) @taobukfestival for giving me a beautiful experience in an extraordinary environment, an honorable award and your kindness,\u201d Goldberg wrote. \u201cBooks are so important to all the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goldberg has served as a co-host and moderator on The View since 2007, when she replaced comedian Rosie O\u2019Donnell. During her tenure on the show, Goldberg has been known to ruffle feathers<\/a>. <\/p>\n Only a few weeks ago, she pushed back against her fellow co-hosts, relishing the very public and bitter breakup<\/a> between Donald Trump<\/a> and his former \u201cfirst buddy\u201d Elon Musk<\/a>, claiming the meltdown between the pair was \u201cfake\u201d and a \u201cdistraction.\u201d<\/p>\n As the table began to debate who they thought would come out ahead in the squabble, Goldberg poured cold water on the conversation.<\/p>\n \u201cI love that you all brought into it,\u201d she flatly stated, adding that she does \u201cbelieve it\u2019s fake.\u201d<\/p>\n With a somewhat surprised Hostin asking her why she felt that this wasn\u2019t a genuine beef between the two powerful men, Goldberg asserted that the whole thing was just a way to divert the public\u2019s attention away from the president\u2019s other actions.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s too strategic. I just feel like, oh yeah, now suddenly everybody\u2019s upset about stuff. I\u2019m sorry, no. This is another distraction to keep us talking not about the stuff we\u2019re talking about, but the stuff they want us to,\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n![\"Whoopi](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-04-09-at-9-07-09-AM.png\")
