Moroever, Whoopi Goldberg was shocked at learning about the cash prize.



 

'Viewers are calling it psychological torture'

Goldberg introduced the hot topic as she explained how 'Deep Fake Love' works, saying, "Apparently, there is a new dating show on Netflix called Deep Fake Love, where people in serious relationships are shown videos of their partners allegedly cheating and have to guess whether the video is real or deep fake." As the audience gasped, co-host Joy Behar, said, "Well, this is the world we’re living in now." Goldberg continued reading the cue card, "Viewers are calling it psychological torture, and the question is, does it go too far?" Sara Haines immediately answered, "Yes, it absolutely does go too far."

Lindsay, who was a part of 'The Bachelorette' spoke about the new Netflix series, expressing, "The reason there is this outrage as well is because it plays into those deep fears of no one cares about our love story, no one cares that we’re having issues."
