Verdict: False

The post is inaccurate. The claim originates from a satirical website.

Fact Check: 

Goldberg recently received the unexpected news that former NFL star Tony Gonzalez is her “DNA cousin” while live on her talk show, “The View,” The New York Post reported. The news was given to her by host of PBS series “Finding Your Roots” Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a show in which researchers inform guests of their ancestry and which Goldberg was previously on, People reported.

An X post claims Fieri has kicked Goldberg out of his restaurant. The post shows side by side pictures of Goldberg with her hand on her chest and Fieri.

“Guy Fieri takes a bold step, telling Whoopi Goldberg ‘You’re not welcome here’ and escorting her out of his restaurant,” the caption reads.

Some X users in the comments believed the post to be true. “His business. He can do exactly as he wants. Good for you dude,” one comment reads.

The post is inaccurate, however. There are no credible news reports to corroborate the claim.

The claim originated from an article posted by SpaceX Mania with the headline “‘She’s Toxic’: Guy Fieri Bans Whoopi Goldberg From His Restaurants” and a “satire” label.
