Whoopi Goldberg's Boycott of the Kennedy Center

Whoopi Goldberg announced she has no plans to return to the Kennedy Center until it returns to its previous state before Trump's takeover, following the cancellation of the Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton's 2026 run at the center. Several stars, including Renée Fleming, have cut ties with the Kennedy Center due to the shakeup.
