Whoopi Goldberg accuses bakery of denying her order over her views — Hear what the owner said

Whoopi Goldberg recently accused a Staten Island bakery of refusing her birthday order because of her political views. On *The View*, she claimed the bakery gave her various excuses, like oven issues, but she suspected it was due to her liberal stance. Though the order was eventually filled, Goldberg noted the delay in getting the desserts.

The bakery, Holtermann’s, a family-owned business for 145 years, denied the accusation. Owner Jill Holtermann explained that technical issues with their old boiler had delayed the order, not Goldberg’s politics. Holtermann expressed frustration over the backlash, saying the delay was due to infrastructure problems, not political differences.
