On “The View” this morning, co-host Whoopi Goldberg admitted to having a few “choice words” for “Real Housewives of D.C.” cast member Michaele Salahi during a backstage altercation following yesterday’s show. Salahi, infamous for crashing the White House State Dinner last year, had earlier accused Goldberg of hitting her during segment on the show. It all started when Goldberg tapped Salahi on the arm to ask her to talk about the White House gatecrashing incident. Goldberg admits to dropping a few f-bombs after hearing of Salahi’s accusation. “Then her husband got in my face, had his BlackBerry out and started taking pictures of me. And needless to say, I really went off then. And there were even more choice words,” says Whoopi. Meanwhile Salahi says she was shocked by Goldberg’s behavior. So much drama and the show hasn’t even started yet. Who’s watching along with us?
