Whoopi Goldberg Bereaved! Loses Only Sibling

Whoopi Goldberg was noticeably absent from The View yesterday and many wondered why the morning talk show host was not on seat. Whoopi was however with her brother who has been admitted at a California hospital where he has been receiving treatment for a brain aneurysm to spend his last moment with him.

The View announced on their Twitter account that Goldberg was away ‘spending time with family’, but it was more serious.

It was later gathered that she was at the hospital bed of her only sibling, Clyde K. Johnson who had only few hours to live.  He passed on right in front of Goldberg and some family members. He was 65. Johnson had worked for years as Goldberg’s driver on film sets and the two were incredibly close.

They lost their mom 5 years ago.
