Whoopi Goldberg was publicly accused of defamation on Friday, two days after “The View” co-host suggested a bakery didn’t want to make her birthday desserts due to her left-leaning political views. Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on “The View” this week,

Whoopi Goldberg claimed a bakery refused her dessert order due to politics, but the owner cited boiler issues.

A Charlotte Russe [cake] has no political leanings, and the place that made these refused to make them for me,” Goldberg said on “The View” Wednesday.

The left-leaning host of “The View” said the business in a Republican stronghold declined to take an order under her name. The bakery said politics had nothing to do with it.

"The View" co-host sparked widespread outrage this week when she alleged that the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island declined to make her a batch of Charlotte Russe desserts due to her political beliefs.

The flap started Wednesday when Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on the ABC talk show by sharing a tray of Charlotte Russe — small sponge cakes topped with whipped cream and a cherry that she said were her mother’s favorite dessert growing up.

Holtermann’s Bakery owner Jill Holtermann and other supporters defend the bakery after ‘The View’ personality Whoopi Goldberg accuses the business of denying her service over politics.
