LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Raven-Symone and Miranda Maday recently invited ‘The View’ host Whoopi Goldberg to their podcast, ‘The Best Podcast Ever.’

It has been a while since fans have heard from Goldberg since she has been primarily MIA from social media after ‘The View’ went on its summer break.

Now, fans can catch a glimpse of Goldberg on ‘The Best Podcast Ever’ before she returns for ‘The View’ Season 27 on September 5.

In Episode 7 of Raven-Symone and Maday’s podcast, Goldberg addresses her sexuality after the podcast host claims that Goldberg gave her “lesbian vibes.” However, Goldberg denied those claims.

In conversation with Whoopi Goldberg during the episode, Raven-Symone told ‘The View’ host, “Speaking of love and like staying out of people’s business, I just, I wanna dig into your business a little bit.”

Goldberg looked at her curiously as the podcast host continued, “Sometimes you give me lesbian vibes. You give me like stud vibes.”

Goldberg was quick to laugh before Miranda Maday chimed in, “I think this is a secret fantasy of Raven’s, I think she just wants everyone to be gay, and she’s just really hoping you’re going to come out right here, right now.”
