Whoopi Goldberg was recently spotted by a reporter in New York City and asked about the body-shaming joke made by Barbara Corcoran and her apology video. Goldberg responded that she took no offense regarding the comment in the first place and the apology was also not necessary.

"Oh... No," Goldberg responded to TMZ's reporter Monday. "She doesn't have to — you know, this is the lady who threw away her birthday party to get into a coffin." Goldberg, 65, said in reference to Corcoran's 70th birthday party in 2019.

"So Barbara's always been funny and weird," Goldberg continued. "And that's who she is. And no, it takes a lot more to offend me. I've known her too long. We've known each other 25 years," Goldberg told the reporter.

Last week, Corcoran, 72, appeared on "The View" talk show and joked about Goldberg's size. On the same day, she posted an apology video.

"I just came back from 'The View' and saw my old friend, Whoopi. As you well know, she has a phenomenal sense of humor and I've known Whoopi for years," the businesswoman said in the video.

"I made a joke at Whoopi's expense, which I now realize wasn't funny. For anyone I may have offended unintentionally, I just want to say I really am very sorry," she added.

Corcoran appeared on the show as a guest on Oct. 6 and Goldberg jokingly asked if she will be able to fit in Good American company's jeans.

"When you get finished with those jeans and decide you don't like them, give them to me," Corcoran told Goldberg. "I'm gonna make two pairs!"

Goldberg has been co-hosting The View since 1997. She will lend her voice to an animated movie, "Pierre the Pigeon-Hawk," which is slated to release on Feb. 4, 2022.

She will also feature in a movie, "Fairy Tale Forest," which is helmed by director Mark Risley. The movie will also star Lilla Crawford, Mel Brooks, Jane Lynch and Jennifer Holliday. Goldberg is currently filming the biographical drama movie, "Till," which is directed by Chinonye Chukwu.
