Whoopi Goldberg has announced her surprise new career move amid push to quit The View.

The star is used to acting and presenting The View but she has now turned to writing, announcing that she has co-written a graphic novel, called The Change.

According to Screen Rant : "The story centers around Isabel Frost, a wife, mother, and grandmother who feels that life isn't what she thought it'd be.

"Even though she's got an amazing support network of family and fellow gamers, things have become stagnant for Isabel. But as her body adjusts to menopause, Isabel finds herself developing powerful abilities.

"With the assistance of her best friend and her comic book-loving grandson, Isabel decides to embrace the new direction of her life and become the Change."

A first look at the comic book cover has been released, which some think the main character looks just like Whoopi.

The news of Whoopi's writing project comes after ongoing pressure for the 67-year-old to leave The View.

It has been said that bosses have asked for her to leave the show due to her "toxic behaviour", according to The Sun.

Bosses are rumored to be asking the comedian to quit the ABC program after being a show moderator for 15 years.

Back in February 2022, Whoopi was suspended from The View for two weeks because of what network ABC called her "wrong and hurtful comments" about Jewish people and the Holocaust.

She claimed that the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of 6 million Jewish people between 1941 to 1945, was not about "race."

It was also claimed that Whoopi repeated this in December as well.

A source informed Radar Online in December that executives have "grown tired of Whoopi’s constant on-air episodes and believe they are driving viewers away".

They added: "Whoopi seems to be picking fights all the time. She makes things very toxic.

"It’s clear she’s very unhappy. Everyone’s begging her to step aside for her sake and the sake of the show."
