Social media has recently been buzzing with speculation that Halle Berry and Whoopi Goldberg had a personal feud that led Berry to refuse to appear on stage with Goldberg at the 97th Academy Awards. According to the unfounded rumor, Berry allegedly said Goldberg was “not a good woman” and refused to be associated with her.

The speculation quickly spread across various platforms, with users debating whether there was any truth to the claims. Some online commentators pointed to the fact that both actresses had separate segments during the awards show as evidence of a possible conflict. However, these claims have been entirely debunked.

Halle Berry directly addressed the rumor in a social media post, writing, “This is completely false – just ridiculous! I have no idea who keeps making up this nonsense!” Her statement was met with overwhelming support from fans and fellow celebrities who expressed frustration with the constant creation of false narratives.

At the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, Berry took part in a special segment, presenting an honorary award to “James Bond” franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey introduced a musical tribute dedicated to the late composer Quincy Jones. The fact that the two actresses did not share the stage led to baseless speculation that there was bad blood between them.

Despite the rumors, there has been no known history of conflict between Berry and Goldberg. In fact, both actresses have often expressed admiration for each other’s work over the years. Many fans pointed out that rumors like these are common during award season, with tabloids and online blogs often attempting to create drama where none exists.

Following Berry’s statement, fans were quick to shut down the speculation. “It’s crazy how people believe everything they read on the internet,” one fan commented. Another added, “This rumor makes no sense. Halle and Whoopi are both professionals. There’s no reason they wouldn’t be able to stand on the same stage.”

As of now, Whoopi Goldberg has not commented on the rumors, but given Berry’s firm denial, it seems clear that the claims have no merit. Fans of both actresses continue to support them and hope to see them collaborate on future projects.
