“Here’s the thing. Everybody, get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun. That’s the first thing,” Goldberg, 69, said during the Monday, October 6, episode of The View. “And then, this is the only time you can probably ever do this, give yourself a Latin accent.”
Many viewers found the Sister Act star’s comments to be offensive and voiced their opinions online.
“Wow, is brown face ok?!” one person wrote via X. “I’m a bit offended that she’s reducing us to color and an accent.”

Goldberg’s remarks came after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asserted that ICE agents “will be all over” Super Bowl LX, where Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny will perform the halftime show.
“We are going to enforce the law. So I think people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country,” Noem, 53, said during her appearance on The Benny Johnson Podcast on October 3.
When asked if she was planning on sending a message to the NFL for their decision to have Bad Bunny perform, Noem replied, “Well, they suck and we’ll win, and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day. And they won’t be able to sleep at night, ‘cause they don’t know what they believe, and they’re so weak. We’ll fix it.”
