In recent days, a rumor has been circulating on social media, claiming that Halle Berry refused to appear on stage with Whoopi Goldberg at the Academy Awards. According to the speculation, Berry allegedly stated that Goldberg is “not a good woman” and did not want to be associated with her. The rumor quickly gained traction online, sparking debates and discussions among fans of both actresses.
However, Halle Berry wasted no time shutting down the false claims. She took to social media to set the record straight, writing, “This is completely false – just ridiculous! I have no idea who keeps making up this nonsense!” Her statement quickly went viral, with many fans expressing relief that the story was nothing more than baseless gossip.
The rumor surfaced after both Berry and Goldberg attended the 97th Academy Awards on March 2. Berry took the stage to honor “James Bond” producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, while Goldberg, alongside Oprah Winfrey, introduced a special musical tribute to the late, legendary composer Quincy Jones. Although both actresses had separate roles in the event, some social media users speculated that their absence from a shared stage indicated a deeper rift between them.
Following Berry’s response, many of her fans rallied behind her, condemning the spread of false narratives. One fan wrote, “I knew it! These rumors always pop up around awards season. People just love stirring up drama that doesn’t exist.” Another user commented, “It’s disappointing how easily misinformation spreads. Halle and Whoopi are both legends, and there’s no reason to pit them against each other.”
Despite the controversy, neither Whoopi Goldberg nor the Academy has made any statements regarding the rumor. Given Berry’s strong denial, it seems clear that the claim has no basis in truth.
