Whoopi Goldberg denies involvement in lessening Paula Faris' role

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg took to Twitter to refute claims that she was involved in reducing fellow co-host Paula Faris' role on the show.

Goldberg responded to a story by U.K. publication The Daily Mail which cited an anonymous source who claimed Faris blamed Goldberg for the decision to have her time on The View decreased from five days a week to one.

"Contrary to what u might read in the I do NOT run ABC nor do I own or produce, not involved in hiring4 the View so don't send ur resumes," Goldberg wrote on Twitter.

She went on to insist that she holds no power over the employment status of her co-workers and was thankful for her own role on the show.

"I'm not responsible 4 firing or moving people around or negotiating my coworkers contracts," she wrote. "I LIKE having a gig and as much as I'd like to Rule the entire universe, I have enough to do in my life than to take mean girl pleasure at some one else WRONGLY perceived change."

Goldberg then addressed the Daily Mail story directly, while stating she was not looking to start a fight with the publication but rather clarify what she described as "an untruth."

"Also daily mail knowing that people talk A lot do you honestly think I would talk or act in such a way that would give u ANY ability to know Anything I think??" She wrote. "No daily mail I wouldn't, so if your going to continue to accuse me of doing this kind of thing could you make something Someone my age would do. For goodness sake the only botch fest is the one in talks minds.no fight here just clearing up an untruth."

Goldberg capped off the string of tweets by writing "daily mail well done" while sharing a story about violence against transgender people from the similarly-named U.S. publication The Daily Beast.
