*Whoopi Goldberg has a clause in her will that prevents unauthorized movies about her life from being made.
Goldberg revealed as much during a discussion on “The View” about the fictionalized Marilyn Monroe film “Blonde,” which is currently streaming on Netflix.
“It sounds macabre, but I was speaking to Whoopi, and I was saying that she’s such a famous person that when she passes away, people are going to make films,” co-host Sunny Hostin said on Tuesday’s episode, Page Six reports.
That’s when Goldberg chimed in to say “Actually they’re not. They’re not going to make films, because in my will it says, ‘Unless you speak to my family, try it.’ Try it.”

Meanwhile, last month Goldberg announced she was leaving Twitter in the wake of Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media platform.
Goldberg made the announcement on the Nov. 7 episode of “The View,” saying, “It’s been a little over a week since Elon Musk took over Twitter and this place is a mess. I’m getting off today because I just feel like it’s so messy, and I’m tired of now having certain kinds of attitudes blocked now getting back on. So I’m gonna get out, and if it settles down enough and I feel more comfortable maybe I’ll come back. But as of tonight, I’m done with Twitter.”
Goldberg, like many Twitter users, is not down with Musk’s new $8 blue checkmark subscription program. Her grievances also center on comedian Kathy Griffin having her Twitter account suspended for mocking and impersonating Musk.
“People keep saying it’s free speech, but all speech is not free speech. Some speech is not OK free speech. So everybody has to agree on that, but if people keep saying ‘You hurt my free speech’ it’s going to be a problem. You know what? This is our problem. But it ain’t my problem today because I’m out,” said Goldberg.
