Shark Tank panelist and regular Barbara Corcoran is being forced to eat her words after an awkward joke on The View lead to backlash for fat-shaming comments.

Corcoran, 72, made a very out-of-line joke after a discussion with host Whoopi Goldberg involving denim company Good American, a brand co-founded by Khloe Kardashian and Emma Grede, the first black woman to be a panelist on Shark Tank.

After Goldberg joked that she wouldn't be able to fit into the Kardashian lead-brand with "this COVID butt," Corcoran replied with her joke:

"When you get finished with those jeans, and decide you don't like them, give them to me. I'm gonna make two pairs!"

Obviously, this joke did not sit well with fans.





This blowback ultimately lead to Corcoran taking to the internet to post an apology to Whoopi Goldberg for her poor taste joke.

"I just came back from The View and saw my old friend Whoopi," she said in her video apology.

"As you well know, she has a phenomenal sense of humor, and I've known Whoopi for years."
"I made a joke at Whoopi's expense, which I now realize wasn't funny. For anyone who I may have offended unintentionally, I just wanted to say, I really am very sorry."





The apology, though seemingly well received by Goldberg herself, did not go over well with everybody.

"I really hate the 'if I offended you, I'm sorry' apologies," wrote one user.

"That's not an apology. Essentially you're saying 'hey! You shouldn't have been offended at all. But if you are, fine: sorry.' Just own it all, Barbara."







The new season of Shark Tank premieres tonight, October 8th, at 8 pm EST.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
