Whoopi Goldberg reiterates her apologies for her comments deemed anti-Semitic

While promoting her new film,

, Whoopi Goldberg once again brought up the Holocaust in an interview with The Times.

But, while the controversy swells by accusing him of anti-Semitism, the American actress and producer defends herself.

She said she did not "reiterate" a claim that the Holocaust was not race-related but a matter of "violence of whites against whites".

She would only have quoted her old words to show that she had changed her point of view.

“It was never my intention to give the impression that I would repeat hurtful comments,” Whoopi Goldberg said, especially after “talking and listening to people like rabbis and friends — which weighed in on the balance,” she said, reports The Times.

Sincere apologies

Whoopi Goldberg has affirmed her unwavering support for the “Jewish people”.

“In this time of rising anti-Semitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I have always stood with the Jewish people and always will.

My support for them has not wavered and will never waver,” she indirectly replied to the leader of the Anti-Defamation League, who had found her recent remarks “deeply offensive and incredibly ignorant.”

“I'm still learning a lot.

And believe me, I heard everything everyone said to me.

I believe the Holocaust was about race, and I'm still as sorry today as I was then for upsetting, hurting, and angering people.

Again, my sincere apologies, especially to anyone who thought this was a new twist on the subject.

I promise that was not the case, ”she hammered.

Whoopi Goldberg, born Caryn Elaine Johnson, said in 2016 that she "knows deep down that I'm Jewish," according to The Times of Israel.
