In the wake of media controversy surrounding Whoopi Goldberg's claims, Staten Island's Holtermann's Bakery experienced a surge in patronage. Thousands flocked to show support, demonstrating community loyalty.
Owner Jill Holtermann refuted Goldberg's allegations, stating the order could not be fulfilled due to a broken boiler, emphasizing that there were no political motivations behind the bakery's operational challenges.
Borough President Vito Fossella defended Holtermann's Bakery at a press conference, praising its dedication to the Staten Island community and calling the allegations made by Goldberg defamatory and unjust.
Goldberg's assertion during her birthday celebration that a local bakery refused her order 'because of her politics' sparked outrage, with her co-host clearly shocked at the accusation made on live television.
