The moderator of the troubled daytime talk show was apparently frustrated with the new executives in charge and how ABC has cut her out of decision-making for Hot Topics by moving the meeting for the segment outside of her contracted hours.
To act out her frustrations last week, the Oscar winner reportedly called herself a slave and spoke in a dialect that slaves once spoke in.
A show source told Daily Mail Online: "She was out of control. She paraded up and down the halls saying, 'I's a work for ABC who is my master. I's a slave to ABC. It’s 12 Years a Whoopi at ABC.'"
After making reference to the Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave, Whoopi loudly declared: "I’s just a n****r following orders around here, master!"
