Whoopi Goldberg explains why she was included in ‘The View’ on Tuesday Epstein Fileswhile denying that she had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. The Sister Act actress’ name does appear in the document.
“In the name of transparency, my name is on file. Yes!” Goldberg said.

Epstein declined his request for a plane, writing: “No thanks.”
Goldberg’s co-host Joy Behar then said: “So in other words, anyone can be on this list?”

Every man I’ve ever been with, you know, because either the National Enquirer has written about it or people have written these things. So, no.”
She added, “I didn’t get on the plane because you know what I had to do to get on the plane? They were trying to get me on the plane [to go to the charity event]”.
Co-host Sarah Hayne noted that other celebrities, such as Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, were included in the documents due to “news articles, third-party emails, contacts.” “Wealthy celebrities often cross paths in professional and social circles, so this is not surprising,” Haynes added.
