The View addresses Whoopi Goldbergs absence

Whoopi Goldberg has been missing from the cast of The View lately and fans began wondering why. In a recent episode, Joy Behar addressed Whoopi’s absence and shared that it was actually for a very exciting reason. Whoopi is not leaving the show but simply working on a new project.

Joy elaborated during the April 13th show, “Whoopi is in Scotland filming a new project and will be back at the table on May 2. If you’re wondering where Whoopi is, the girl’s got a movie she’s making and she will be back when she finishes whatever she’s doing. So, she’s gone for a while.”

According to IMDb, Anansi Boys is actually a mini TV series coming to Amazon Prime Video. Whoopi will be playing a character called Bird Woman. Whoopi previously shared, “I have been a fan of this book for a very long time. When Neil Gaiman told me it was being brought to the screen, I did everything I could to be part of it to help make people aware of Anansi and all his magic.”
