Whoopi Goldberg Almost Died From This Health Scare

In a health update on the hit show “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg opened up about her health scare and how she “came very close to leaving the Earth.”

Goldberg hasn’t been on The View for the past month as she has been recovering from a serious case of pneumonia. The co-host had pneumonia in both lungs and was septic.

The 63-year old provided an update for fans about her condition via video message on Friday’s episode of The View.

“Hey, yes, it’s me. I am here. I am up and moving around — not as fast as I’d like to be, but I am okay. I’m not dead. Here’s what happened.”

“Yes, I came very close to leaving the earth,” she admitted. “Good news, I didn’t. Thank you for all of your good wishes, all of the wonderful things that people have been saying. Even people who aren’t huge fans of mine have actually been saying nice thing about me.”

“Ladies, I cannot wait to see y’all,” she added to her fellow co-hosts. “This has been interesting and I’ll tell you about it when we’re all at the table. To everybody, see you soon.”

“She’s not feeling well,” Joy Behar said during a broadcast in February. “She’s actually recovering from pneumonia. I saw her last night and she’s very funny still, and we had big laughs. She’s getting there, she’s on the mend.”
