Barbara Corcoran is publicly apologizing for body-shaming Whoopi Goldberg on the “The View.”
The longtime host of “Shark Tank,” 72, appeared on the daytime talk show alongside “The View” co-hosts Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Goldberg. Fellow “Shark Tank” judges Mark Cuban and Daymond John were also on hand.
On the episode, the group discussed a body-inclusive line of denim jeans made by Emma Grede, who will join the “sharks” as the first Black female guest on the show's upcoming season, USA Today reports.
"They are great jeans. They really are for everybody," Navarro said of the Good American clothing line, which was co-founded by Khloe Kardashian.
Goldberg then joked that she has to “try them” because she was unsure if they would “fit this COVID [butt].”
“Yes, they will!” Hostin assured Goldberg, 65. “They fit this COVID (butt)," Navarro chimed in pointing to her backside.
Corcoran then regretfully jumped into the conversation, saying “When you get finished with those jeans and decide you don't like them, give them to me — I'm going to make two pairs."

Goldberg did not laugh at the comment, and appeared to be taken aback.
Navarro came to Goldberg’s defense, telling Corcoran that “Sara Haines and Jill Biden already wore that dress on TV.”
On Thursday, Corcoran took to Twitter to apologize for her comments.
"I made a joke at Whoopi's expense, which I realize now wasn't funny.” She continued, "For anyone who I may have offended unintentionally, I just wanted to say I really am very sorry."

In June, Goldberg took a week-long leave from “The View” to deal with sciatica, a nerve condition that makes walking and movement painful, the outlet says.
"It was like a bad boyfriend who came back to mess with me," Goldberg said at the time. "There I was, trying to move my leg – impossible to do. It was really horrible, but I'm glad to be here."
