Whoopi Goldberg's Bakery Dispute Sparks Controversy

Goldberg alleges a Staten Island bakery refused her order due to political beliefs, but the bakery cites mechanical issues.

Whoopi Goldberg claimed on 'The View' that a Staten Island bakery refused to fulfill her dessert order over her political views.
The bakery, identified as Holtermann's, denied the claim, attributing the issue to boiler problems in their nearly century-old building.
Goldberg did not name the bakery on air, but the unique packaging of the desserts led to its identification.
Despite the initial refusal, 50 Charlotte Russe desserts were eventually made and picked up for Goldberg's birthday celebration.
The bakery reported receiving numerous calls following the broadcast, as the story gained widespread attention.
