Joan Rivers Criticizes Whoopi for Defending Mel Gibson (VIDEO)
Joan Rivers criticizes Whoopi Goldberg for comments she's made in the past in defense of Mel Gibson on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated), and things get tense between the two to the point where Barbara Walters intercedes."I said that he was a friend of mine and I didn't think he was a racist having spent a lot of time with him," said Goldberg, clarifying her defense of Gibson.
"It's not about one-on-one," replied Rivers. "It's about everybody. We all can like an individual."
"Yeah, but also, Joan, you know folks say dumb stuff all the time," Goldberg said, referring to Gibson's taped argument with estranged girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, in which in he used racial slurs.
"Let's not do this! Let's not do this now, please!" Walters said, attempting to calm the two women. "This is just a very sweet little daytime show."
