The View posted a video of Goldberg apologising on Twitter after Wednesday's show."The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg taped an apology video on Wednesday for using the word"gypped" during the show, saying she should have used another term.

"You know when you're a certain age you use words that you know from when you're a kid or you remember saying, and that's what I did today and I shouldn't have, I should have thought about it a little longer before I said it. But I didn't and I should have said ‘cheated,’ but I used another word and I'm really, really sorry," Goldberg said in the video.

Goldberg used the word"gypped" while discussing the Daniels case. It's a long-time slang term for being cheated or swindled, but is viewed as a slur by some because of its association with"Gypsies."
