Whoopi Goldberg keeps removing herself from The View hosts' group text: 'It’s the weekend'

Whoopi Goldberg famously does not want someone in her house — or in her phone.

The View moderator and Oscar-winning Ghost actress would like to enjoy her free time in unbothered solitude, thank you very much, as she told her cohosts on Monday's episode that she does not appreciate being re-added to the stars' group text chat after repeatedly removing herself from it to protect her peace.

After Republican panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin asked the group during a Hot Topics discussion about texting if there was a cohost group thread, legal expert Sunny Hostin confirmed its existence — and that Griffin had been added. However, Goldberg rebuked the thought of engaging in such incessant digital communication.

"I feel like Michael Corleone, because I take myself off the group texts," she said, to which Hostin replied: "And Joy [Behar] puts you right back on."

Ana Navarro then suggested that Goldberg "can silence" the notifications from the group chat, but Goldberg held firm in her calls to banish the thread's existence on her device for good.

"Silencing y'all does not mean being part of it," she said. "I don't care, I don't care what you're upset about. It's the weekend!"

The 68-year-old finished the segment by doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on her stance.

"If I need to talk to you, I'll talk to you," she said. "I communicate when I have something to say. I don't just be sending y'all stuff. I'm busy."

Goldberg has long cautioned the American public against the dangers of the digital apocalypse, hinting in June at a "spooky" experience with a virtual reality headset that transported her to a make-believe ocean and subsequently made her fall over, one week after she rang the alarm over the presence of Amazon's Alexa AI invading households around the world.

"You know she is listening," Goldberg said at the time. "I don't want her in the house."
