E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE:  #WhoopiGoldberg Reveals  #TheView Departure Rumors Were True: ''I Wasn't Coming Back'' E! NEWS http://www.eonline.com/news/877928/whoopi-goldberg-reveals-the-view-departure-rumors-were-true-i-wasn-t-coming-back Whoopee! The View is back for its 21st season and it looks like the gang's all here despite rumors to the contrary. After 10 years on the controversial daytime show, #WhoopiGoldberg revealed to E! News earlier today on the set of the #ABCshow that she was finally ready to call it quits—but something, or rather someone changed her mind.  The 61-year-old told E! News, "I wasn't coming back but my daughter said I think that's a mistake because we've just had a major shakeup and you need to be a part of this conversation." The outspoken personality also explained that the #stress of the job and the weight of people's opinions can get to her. "I never thought I would get in as much trouble as I seem to have gotten in. You have to be prepared for half the country to hate you every day. It's a lot to carry but that's why I try not to look back," she admitted. But not looking back is hard to do when your show gives you a tribute fit for a queen... The panel, which now consists of #SaraHaines, #JedidiahBila, #PaulaFaris, #SunnyHostin and Whoopi, kicked off the new season with a clip that featured a look back at a decade "under the #influence of Whoopi" and showed several tense moments, fun-filled spots and even flashed back to the comedy queen's first appearance as a moderator. Unfortunately for the funny lady, she's not a fan of surprises—even if it includes a visit from music legend #ChakaKhan. When asked if she enjoyed the video #tribute, the Oscar winner told E! News, "I wasn't happy. I don't like surprises. I am not good with them and they do them to me anyway because they just know I am going to totally freak out." Despite her dismay over the surprise, Whoopi did admit there was a big upside at watching the past decade flash before her eyes, "It's nice to see that I stand for something and that was nice to see. I would not have seen it, had I not seen [the tribute]," she confessed. @e_tv_pr @enews @eentertainment
