Whoopi Goldberg says she's never been on Jeffrey Epstein's island.

Whoopi Goldberg shot down a rumor that she was on Jeffrey Epstein's private island during a recent episode of The View. The hosts had been discussing the cache of documents that were unsealed, earlier this week, revealing celebrities, politicians, and more as affiliates of the late sex offender.

"Apparently, they said I was on the island," Goldberg began. "And I don’t go anywhere! So I’m just going to say — and there’s just been a lot of stuff recently, I don’t know what I’ve done to anybody — but apparently there are a lot of the [tabloid] sites [and] people don’t realize they can be harmful."

Goldberg also took the time to shoot down several other rumors about herself. "I never got kicked out of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant," she said, "I never got kicked out of Guy Fieri’s restaurant, I didn’t get kicked off Bill Maher’s show. I didn’t get into a fight with Oprah backstage here at The View, I mean, it just goes. It’s insane. It goes on and on and on.” Check out her full comments on the situation below.
