    Meghan Markle fans ‘begging’ Netflix for second season of new show despite scathing reviews

    Meghan Markle’s new Netflix reality series may have been panned by critics but it has still managed to find an army of fans

    Meghan Markle’s latest venture into the world of streaming, With Love, Meghan, has been met with a mixed bag of reviews, but it seems the Duchess still commands a loyal following.

    Despite critics like Anita Singh for the Telegraph slamming the show as “an exercise in narcissism” many Netflix viewers are already clamouring for more, urging the platform to greenlight a second season.

    The eight-part series invites viewers into Meghan’s home as she chats with celebrity guests such as Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, and her former Suits colleague Abigail Spencer, sharing lifestyle insights and culinary tips.

    While some reviewers have not held back their disdain, Meghan’s admirers have taken to social media to express their adoration for the Duchess’s new project.

    Fans have been tweeting their support, with comments like: “I love how Meghan loves to learn new food recipes and engages with the chef about it, I need to see her do more of this (GIVE ME SEASON 2).”

    As the series concluded, calls for a second season grew louder, with the same fan pleading, “IT ENDED, NETFLIX PLEASE GIVE ME SEASON 2 IM BEGGING PLEASE #WithLoveMeghan.”

    Others shared their enthusiasm, saying, “Not me wanting to try everything Meghan is doing/cooking in her new show omg I’m obsessed #WithLoveMeghan,” and another adding, “The new Meghan Markle show is adorable, she is so precious”, reports the Express.

    A fourth viewer was instantly captivated, declaring, “Meghan’s show is so laid back and FUN! Episode 1 and I am hooked!”

    Someone else penned: “Meghan was so involved and so [comfortable in] the kitchen. You can know that she knows her way around the kitchen.

    “Every episode had something to offer. I can never not root for this gal!!! She deserves every bit of love and happiness. I hope they do a season 2!!”

    “She’s at peace, she’s in a good place and I love this for her!

    “I can definitely see a season 2 in different locations, cooking different cultural cuisines and learning more about what the dishes represent and the stories of those who create them.”

    As of now, there hasn’t been any official word from Netflix or the Duchess herself about the possibility of a second season.

    Nine best quotes from Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show – My bacon brings all the boys to the yard!’

    Netflix have released their new show ‘With Love, Meghan’ that stars the Duchess of Sussex who offers fans a glimpse into her home life and shares lifestyle and cooking tips

    In her new Netflix series, ‘With Love, Meghan,’ the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, offers viewers an intimate glimpse into her domestic life with Prince Harry and their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

    The show combines Meghan’s top lifestyle tips with personal anecdotes into her home life, offering cooking tips along the way. The Duchess, 43, is seen discussing making teabags, candles, a balloon arch for Archie, and jam which she says she does with her youngest child Lilibet.

    Meghan has already riled up parents with her unique cooking tips, that some have dubbed “over the top” and “time consuming”. Here, we take a look at some of the best quotes from the series.

    “It’s so funny that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now?”

    It seems Meghan is taking the debate around her royal title in her stride by cracking a joke about her maiden name still being used. Despite stepping down from their roles, Prince Harry and Meghan kept their Sussex titles.

    And despite the debate surrounding their titles, both Harry and Meghan still use them, with the closing credit referring to Meghan as the Duchess of Sussex.

    “Mmm … he makes a really great breakfast.”

    When asked what her husband’s contribution to the household cooking was, Meghan jokingly said he can make a “great breakfast”. The Duke of Sussex isn’t known for his culinary skills, while Meghan’s new show displays a new side that fans haven’t seen before.

    “My kids will now connect coming home from school and smelling sweetness that wafts through the house when you are slow-cooking fruit. ‘Here she is! Mom’s making preserves again!’”

    In a sweet reference to her two children, Archie and Lilibet, Meghan spoke about her love of preserves. Meghan first announced the creation of her new lifestyle brand on March 14, 2024, that saw her launch her own jam.

    “I find when I’m cooking bacon my kitchen very immediately becomes full of husband and three dogs. It’s not my perfume that brings them all in. ‘My bacon brings all the boys to the yard!’”

    With a humorous twist on a popular song lyric, Meghan describes how the scent of frying bacon attracts Prince Harry and their three dogs to the kitchen. In January, the Duchess posted a tribute to her rescue beagle Guy who died.

    She wrote on Instagram: “Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.

    “I have cried too many tears to count – the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are. And that’s okay too.”

    “I learnt flower arranging when I was pregnant with Archie and my girlfriends threw a baby shower for me, and one of the things we did was flower arranging. I found it really calming and meditative and so when I have a little bit of time at the end of the day with a glass of wine … I also do it typically with a lot of music.”

    Meghan gave fans an insight into her baby shower, which took place in New York at a lavish hotel. The penthouse reportedly costs £57,000 a night at the five-star Mark Hotel in New York.

    Although Meghan was surrounded by some of her closest friends for the baby shower, including Suits star Abigail Spencer and tennis legend Serena Williams, no family members were present, with her sister-in-law Princess Kate also not among the 20 or so guests invited to the celebration.

    “There’s something really satisfying about a cake that is bare on the outside but she is so beautiful on the inside and you just don’t know how good she is until you go deep and you get to know her better.”

    Using cake as a metaphor, Meghan reflects on the idea that true beauty lies within. This statement seems to mirror her own experiences of being judged, which she has openly spoken about in previous interviews.

    “I like them hand-torn. Nice and rustic.”

    Talking about prepping a salad bowl, Meghan referred to the leaves as “nice and rustic”.

    “Whenever I have someone come and stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room. I think of two places for the guest experience … what’s at the side of the bed for them that’s their good morning and good night moment? And what’s in the bathroom for them so they can have a beautiful soak at the end of the night?”

    Meghan seems to host regularly at her Montecito mansion, regularly referencing her special touches she leaves around the home for guests. Although the show was filmed in an “at home” style format, producers actually rented a house for filming.

    The £5million estate nestled within a gated community, boasts eight acres of avocado trees and lemon groves and is owned by Montecito’s influential Cipolla family.

    “I have a husband who, no matter what meal is put in front of them, before he tastes it puts salt on. So I try to under-salt.”

    Meghan made plenty of references to her husband’s taste buds during the show, revealing the Prince’s love of salt in this funny quote.

    Meghan Markle drops new lifestyle brand after trademark troubles

    The Duchess of Sussex has launched her lifestyle brand As Ever, just hours after her Netflix show With Love, Meghan was released to the world

    The Duchess of Sussex has officially unveiled her lifestyle brand, As Ever, just hours after the premiere of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. The new brand, set to be available in spring 2025, includes spreads and pre-made baking mixes, according to the website.

    The updated asever.com site proclaims “As ever is more than a brand – it’s a love language”, and showcased the duchess’ first products on Tuesday. While prices are yet to be disclosed, customers are encouraged to join a mailing list for updates and offers.

    Initially named American Riviera Orchard, the brand underwent a name change following trademarking issues. The product line also features limited edition wildflower honey with honeycomb and flower sprinkles, which Meghan frequently uses and mentions in her series.

    In the show, she humorously recounts how her homemade strawberry jam, sent to celebrity friends, sparked some friendly rivalry. In the second episode, Welcome To The Party, Meghan revealed that she numbered the 50 jars she distributed, leading to some taking it personally.

    The website boasts: “As ever is more than a brand – it’s a love language. Created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, As ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining, and hostessing with ease.”

    The Fox NFL Sunday sideline reporter explained that she is dealing with the condition on her upper lip.

    “It is so crusty and it really hurts,” Andrews said.

    “Don’t touch that!” Charissa Thompson replied.

    Thompson explained the situation to new podcast listeners after Andrews explained the pain she is in.

    “For those of you that are new, Erin’s working through some… an issue on her upper lip, but it’s not what you think it is,” she said.

    Andrews clarified that the condition was a pre-cancer and that she went to have a full check on her skin.

    “It’s a pre-skin cancer situation. I did a cream for five days on it,” Andrews explained.

    “I went for the old ‘Oh it’s a great idea until you get in the car’ skin check… the whole shebang.

    “I wanted to pass out in the middle of it because I’m so afraid they’re going to find something.”

    Andrews also shared that she will further delve into the skin condition on Thursday’s episode of the podcast.

    “Hoping for a quick recovery — skin health is no joke,” one fan said.

    “Early detection is key — wishing her the best in this fight,” another fan said.

    “I wish the best for you,” a third fan said.

    Thompson and Andrews both face uncertain futures with Fox NFL Sunday as their contracts expire this summer.

    “I just have to say one thing, and this is also what I am going on and on about Fox, and I swear. I mean it’s not just because my contract’s up,” Thompson said.

    “I love Fox so much because my brother and my dad came to the Super Bowl, and Fox’s family to me, so my own family like sharing in those moments.

    “It was so fun and Fox just makes them feel so welcome and makes sure they’re included in the events and everything.

    “So I just would be remiss if I didn’t mention how wonderful my extended work family is to my own family.”

    Dolly Parton revealed ‘dark’ & heartbreaking reason she never had children with husband Carl Dean in 58-year marriage

    Plus, what Dolly said about her ‘loner’ late husband in the past

    DOLLY Parton previously revealed the heartbreaking reason why she and her late husband Carl Dean never had children.

    The country singer, 79, confirmed on Monday that her husband Carl Dean had sadly died at the age of 82.

    Dolly’s husband didn’t like being in the spotlight
    Dolly and Carl fell in love and got married just two years after they locked eyes on one another, and the rest of their love story was history.

    Dolly, who was 18 at the time, met her late husband, who was 21, outside their local launderette in the mid 60s.

    Remaining together for almost 60 years, keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, and speaking fondly of one another whenever they got the chance – Dolly and Carl’s romance truly stood the test of time.

    But oftentimes when their romance and marriage was spoken about in the public domain, people quizzed them on why they never had children.

    There are two main reasons that Dolly and Carl never welcomed kids of their own – despite the country singer being a godmother to Miley Cyrus.

    In the 80s, when she was just 33, Dolly was diagnosed with endometriosis after she collapsed on stage.

    Then, at the age of 36, Dolly had a partial hysterectomy.

    In her book, Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, Dolly spoke about the operation she underwent and how it was a “dark time” for her.

    DOLLY’S DARK TIME

    “Suddenly I was a middle-aged woman,” she said, “I went through a dark time.”

    However, Dolly added: “I haven’t missed it like I thought I might.

    “Now that Carl and I are older, we often say, ‘Aren’t you glad we didn’t have kids? Now we don’t have kids to worry about’.”

    But her health woes were not the only reason she didn’t want to become a mother.

    In a previous interview with Saga Magazine, Dolly spoke about how she wanted to focus on her career, hence why she didn’t want children.

    “When you’re a young couple, you think you’re going to have kids, but it just wasn’t one of those burning things for me,” she said.

    “I had my career and my music and I was travelling. If I’d had kids, I’d have stayed at home with them. I’m sure and worried myself to death about them.”

    She also said that she would “hate to be bringing a child into this world right now,” amid “everything that’s going on.”

    Dolly also said: “I always say God didn’t let me have children so that all kids could be mine.”

    Dolly shared a heartbreaking tribute to Carl following his passing.

    Taking to Instagram to share her moving words, Dolly penned: “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together.

    “Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years.

    “Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

    Dolly did not reveal her husband’s cause of death but had previously been diagnosed with alzheimer’s disease in 2019.

    DOLLY’S DEDICATED MAN

    Carl was somewhat reclusive, with Dolly previously telling of how he was a bit of a “loner”.

    Speaking to People around the time of their 50th anniversary in 2016, Dolly explained how he “doesn’t particularly care about being around anybody but me”.

    She said: “He’s just always asked me to leave him out of all this. He does not like all the hullabaloo.”

    The hitmaker also shared with Parade that her man was “very secure within himself”.

    She told the outlet: “This is his statement: ‘Well, hell, I know it’s not easy out there. I’d feel less about any man that didn’t fall in love with you’.”

    And in 2020 she revealed how he didn’t want to be in the spotlight “at all”.

    Goldie Hawn reveals heartbreaking health condition at 2025 Oscars while presenting with Andrew Garfield at the Academy Awards in Hollywood

    Goldie Hawn left viewers of the 2025 Academy Awards stunned after she gave a heartbreaking health update on stage.

    The 79-year-old Oscar winner — who presenting with Andrew Garfield — stopped part of the way through her scripted presentation speech because she was unable to read what was projected on the teleprompter.

    ‘I was so lucky [to] make movies… and making people laugh,’ Goldie said. ‘And maybe some didn’t, but that’s OK.’

    ‘In the meantime,’ she continued, before suddenly pausing and turning to Garfield.

    ‘OK. Sweetheart, can you read that. I can’t read that,’ she said, going off script.

    ‘I’m completely blind. I mean, I am!’ she continued, before revealing the cause of her vision issues: ‘Cataracts.’

    Garfield played it cool, responding, ‘OK, I’ve got you.’

    Cataracts develop when the usually clear lens of the eye begins to develop a cloudy texture, which can make it feels as if one is viewing things through a fog.

    The condition can impact any activity requiring sight, but it can make things like reading or driving — particularly at night — difficult.

    Cataracts often aren’t noticed for some time, as the condition tends to develop slowly.

    However, the good news for affected individuals is that surgery to remove cataracts is usually safe and effective, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    The two-time Oscar nominee, 41, was joined by Goldie as they presented the award for Best Animated Feature Film.

    But Andrew took her by surprise when he brought her to tears as he revealed her surprise impact on his late mother.

    The ocial Network star, who lost his mother Lynn Garfield to cancer in 2019, thanked Goldie for giving his mother ‘the most joy, the most comfort’ through her long career peppered with classic film and television performances.

    Goldie was visibly moved by the seemingly impromptu speech and started to cry, before she partially covered her face with the winner’s envelope and tried to wipe her eyes.

    Andrew, who looked stylish in a brown tux with a lustrous satin shirt, turned toward Goldie at the microphone and held her hand between his as he shared his sweet praise.

    ‘Can I tell you something?’ Andrew asked mysteriously as soon as he and Goldie were ready to start their presentation.

    ‘There’s someone, there’s a person who gave my mother during her life the most joy, the most comfort, and tonight, I feel very lucky, because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart,’ he said before revealing that the person was standing right next to him.

    ‘You’ve given us movies full of joy. You’ve lifted our spirits and you’ve made us feel it all was right with the world, over and over again,’ he said while holding Goldie’s hand.

    Goldie, whose face crumpled up as she tried to hold back her tears, responded: ‘Thank you so much, that really touches me.’

    ‘I was so lucky [to] make movies… and making people laugh,’ she continued in what seemed to be the start of her preplanned speech. ‘And maybe some didn’t, but that’s OK.’

    Andrew, whose latest film We Live In Time was released in October in the US and on New Year’s Day in the UK, spoke about his mother last year during the film’s publicity campaign.

    In the film, Florence Pugh plays his love interest who battles Ovarian cancer, and the storyline prompted comparisons to Andrew’s mother Lynn’s own battle with cancer before her death.

    While speaking with the Hollywood Reporter last year, Andrew said that filming We Live In Time had helped him to heal from the loss of his beloved mother.

    ‘Every species of every living thing on this earth has lost a mother. Young dinosaurs were losing their mothers,’ he said, adding that his experience wasn’t ‘special.’

    ‘We’re lucky if it’s that way around, rather than the other. And of course, countless parents lose their children in one way or another too, I can’t even imagine what that must feel like,’ he continued.

    ‘So in terms of my own personal experience, yeah, it felt like a very simple act of healing for myself, and hopefully healing for an audience.’

    Riley Gaines Calls Out Whoopi Goldberg on The View: ‘You Are an Embarrassment to Real Women!’ – Studio Left in Shock

    Riley Gaines Calls Out Whoopi Goldberg on The View: ‘You Are an Embarrassment to Real Women!’ – Studio Left in Shock

    Riley Gaines Criticizes Whoopi Goldberg on ‘The View’: A Heated Exchange That Left the Studio Stunned

    In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events on ABC’s talk show The View, former NCAA swimmer and women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines reportedly confronted co-host Whoopi Goldberg in a tense on-air exchange.
    The incident, which has since sparked widespread debate on social media, allegedly saw Gaines calling Goldberg “an embarrassment to real women.” The moment left the studio audience in shocked silence, and reactions have been pouring in from all corners of the internet.

    Background of the Controversy

    Riley Gaines has been a vocal advocate for women’s rights in sports, particularly in the ongoing debate about transgender athletes competing in female categories.
    Having competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in NCAA competitions, Gaines has positioned herself as a leading figure in the fight to preserve what she calls “fairness for biological women in sports.”

    Whoopi Goldberg, on the other hand, has long been known for her outspoken views on progressive issues, including gender identity and inclusion.
    Given these starkly opposing viewpoints, it was perhaps only a matter of time before the two would clash in a highly public setting.

    The Heated Exchange on ‘The View’

    During a segment discussing transgender participation in women’s sports, Riley Gaines was invited onto The View to present her perspective.

    As she articulated her stance, arguing that allowing transgender women to compete in female sports undermines opportunities for biological women, tensions in the studio began to rise.
    Reports indicate that Whoopi Goldberg interjected multiple times, challenging Gaines on her assertions and asking pointed questions about inclusivity and fairness.

    As the conversation escalated, Gaines allegedly delivered the striking remark: “You are an embarrassment to real women.”

    The remark was met with a stunned silence from the studio audience. Co-hosts and audience members were visibly shocked, and the tension in the room became palpable.

    Goldberg, known for her composure even in the face of controversy, reportedly appeared momentarily taken aback before responding forcefully, though details of her exact words remain debated.

    Whoopi Goldberg’s Reaction

    According to those present, Goldberg did not take the comment lightly. She reportedly fired back at Gaines, defending her record as a long-time supporter of women’s rights and equality.
    Sources claim that Goldberg expressed frustration at the notion that advocating for transgender inclusion somehow made her less of a supporter of women.

    The debate grew more intense, with both women holding their ground. Other co-hosts attempted to de-escalate the situation, but the energy in the room had already shifted.

    Public Reactions and Social Media Storm

    As clips of the exchange circulated online, social media erupted with divided reactions. Some users praised Riley Gaines for standing firm in her beliefs and calling out what they see as a betrayal of women’s rights by mainstream media figures.

    Others criticized Gaines for what they viewed as an unnecessarily harsh and personal attack on Goldberg.

    Support for Riley Gaines:

    Many conservatives and feminist groups who oppose transgender inclusion in female sports lauded Gaines for “speaking truth to power.”

    Several prominent commentators and influencers expressed admiration for her courage in confronting a major TV personality.

    StandWithRiley and WomenDeserveFairness began trending on X (formerly Twitter).

    Support for Whoopi Goldberg:

    LGBTQ+ advocates and progressive activists rallied behind Goldberg, condemning Gaines’ remarks as disrespectful and harmful.
    Many pointed out that Goldberg has a long history of advocating for women and marginalized communities.

    Celebrities and political figures expressed solidarity with Goldberg, emphasizing the importance of inclusion.

    The Larger Debate: Transgender Inclusion in Women’s Sports

    This exchange between Gaines and Goldberg has reignited the ongoing debate about transgender participation in women’s sports. It is a highly contentious issue, with legal battles, policy changes, and public discourse shaping the landscape.

    Proponents of transgender inclusion argue that excluding transgender women from female sports is discriminatory and denies them the right to compete in alignment with their gender identity.
    They point to scientific studies suggesting that hormone therapy significantly reduces any biological advantages transgender women may have.

    Opponents, like Riley Gaines, argue that regardless of hormone treatments, individuals who have gone through male puberty retain physiological advantages that give them an unfair edge over biological female competitors.

    They claim that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s categories undermines decades of progress made by female athletes.

    ABC’s Response and Fallout from ‘The View’ Incident

    As controversy swirls, ABC and The View producers have yet to release an official statement addressing the incident.

    However, insiders suggest that executives are monitoring the situation closely, as the show has been no stranger to heated political debates and public backlash.

    There is speculation that Riley Gaines may not be invited back onto the show, given the intensity of the clash.

    Some sources indicate that behind-the-scenes conversations among producers and network executives have included discussions about whether the debate crossed the line into personal attack territory.

    What’s Next for Riley Gaines and Whoopi Goldberg?

    Riley Gaines continues to be a prominent figure in the discussion around fairness in women’s sports. She has appeared on conservative media outlets following the incident, doubling down on her stance and reiterating that she will not be silenced on this issue.

    She remains an active advocate, speaking at events and working with policymakers to push for legislative changes.

    Whoopi Goldberg, meanwhile, has not shied away from addressing the controversy.

    She reportedly mentioned the incident in subsequent episodes of The View, reflecting on the broader cultural debate and emphasizing the need for productive discussions rather than personal attacks.

    Conclusion: A Defining Moment in the Gender Debate?The exchange between Riley Gaines and Whoopi Goldberg on The View represents more than just a heated television moment—it is a reflection of the broader societal divide on gender identity, women’s rights, and fairness in sports.

    While some see Gaines’ remarks as a justified call-out against those who, in their view, have betrayed the cause of women’s sports, others see it as an inflammatory attack that undermines meaningful dialogue.

    Regardless of one’s stance, the incident has undoubtedly contributed to the growing discourse surrounding the role of transgender athletes in competitive sports.

    As the debate continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: conversations on gender, identity, and fairness are far from over, and figures like Riley Gaines and Whoopi Goldberg will likely remain central to these discussions for the foreseeable future.

    BREAKING NEWS: Elon Musk publicly clashes with Robert De Niro after he collaborates with The Views to insult Elon Musk live on air: “Go away, you weird awakened kid.”

    Elon Musk and Robert de Niro have just publicly confronted after a shocking incident when De Niro cooperated with The View program to insult Musk directly on  television. In a controversial conversation, De Niro called Musk a “bizarre brother” and asked him to “disappear”. This word made Musk unable to silence, and he reacted harshly to what De Niro spoke.

    The incident began when Robert de Niro, famous for its strong views and did not hesitate to criticize the public figures, participated in a conversation in The View program. During the conversation, he could not control his dissatisfaction with Musk and had insults against this billionaire.


    Elon Musk, not a person who is prone to provocation, immediately spoke out. He showed dissatisfaction about how De Niro and The Views used television to attack himself. Musk asserted that De Niro’s comments were just a hasty judgment and did not reflect his true nature.

    The relationship between celebrities in the entertainment industry and technology always attracts great attention from the public. However, with this confrontation, many people ask questions about ridiculous and disrespectful in the way that those who have influenced people show their views. This story continues to attract attention and will last in the near future, when Musk and De Niro have their own stance, not easy to reconcile.

  • Joy Behar startled The View’s audience by revealing the date of Whoopi Goldberg’s final show: “It’s time she steps down…”

    Joy Behar startled The View’s audience by revealing the date of Whoopi Goldberg’s final show: “It’s time she steps down…”

    Whoopi Goldberg was noticeably absent from The View on Wednesday, February 19, leading to questions from viewers about her whereabouts.

    Instead of the usual five co-hosts, only four appeared on the ABC talk show: Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

    Behar quickly addressed Goldberg’s absence, informing the audience of the reason behind it. “Unfortunately, I know you’ll be unhappy,

    but Whoopi is not here with us,” she said. “She has the flu. Yes, feel better, Whoops. We miss you. Come back as soon as you can.”

    She went on to acknowledge that illnesses are circulating widely. “It’s going around. Should we be wearing masks again?”

    she asked, highlighting growing concerns about seasonal illnesses.

    Griffin offered a practical suggestion, advising everyone to practice good hygiene. “Sanitize your hands. Wash them for 20 seconds,” she reminded. Haines lightheartedly added, “Don’t go around children!”

    If Goldberg remains out sick on Thursday, February 20, fans may not see her return until Monday, February 24, as she typically has Fridays off. However, The View has not yet provided an official update on her expected return date.

    This is not the first time Goldberg has taken a break from the show, and fans often speculate about her absences. Back in January, viewers were puzzled when she missed an episode following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The reason for her absence was later explained on The View: Behind the Table podcast.

    Goldberg shared that she had been invited to participate in a fashion show in Paris after her photoshoot with the brand Ami garnered significant attention. “I did a layout, a fashion layout, for a company called Ami, and apparently it sort of went through the roof, so they’ve invited me to come and be part of their fashion show in Paris,” she revealed at the time.

    While her current absence is due to illness rather than an exciting international opportunity, fans are hopeful she will recover quickly. Until then, her co-hosts and viewers alike eagerly await her return to The View.
