EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg railed against an ad that's circulating on social media with a manipulated version of her promoting "bad weight loss drugs"

Goldberg alleged that an unknown entity was using her image to hawk weight-loss methods on social media. "They have me selling bad weight-loss drugs," the Oscar winner said.

The Color Purple' star Whoopi Goldberg has confirmed a new advert on Instagram using her likeness to promote a weight loss drug is "phony".

The View, host Whoopi Goldberg stopped the show from taking a commercial break to give a warning: she says there is an Instagram ad using an AI version of her likeness to sell weight loss drugs without her consent.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg addressed a "phony weight loss ad" circulating on Instagram during the show on Wednesday and said she had nothing to do with the ad.

The audience of “The View” is never shy about vocalizing their true feelings about a topic on the show, but even moderator Whoopi Goldberg was a bit startled on Tuesday morning, when the crowd gave a crystal clear, unanimous response to her first question of the day.

Whoopi Goldberg took to The View to blast a "phony" AI weight loss ad running on social media that is using her image to promote the product.
