Whoopi Goldberg Says Her Epstein File Mention Was a 2013 Plane Request Epstein Declined

Her on-air explanation follows a DOJ document release that lists hundreds of names without alleging misconduct.

Overview

  • Goldberg addressed the documents on The View on Feb. 17, saying her name appears in an email seeking a private jet to reach a Monaco charity event for Julian Lennon’s White Feather Foundation.
  • The email, dated May 8, 2013, asked if Epstein would offer his GII aircraft; the record shows he replied, “no thnaks [sic].”
  • Goldberg said she had no personal relationship with Epstein, did not board any plane connected to him, and noted her long-standing fear of flying.
  • A review of the DOJ files indicates the 2013 message appears to be the only direct Epstein–Goldberg contact, with other mentions tied to news items or third‑party communications.
  • The disclosure comes as the Justice Department releases millions of Epstein-related documents and Attorney General Pam Bondi circulates a list of more than 300 high-profile names to Congress.
