The owner of a Staten Island bakery has publicly refuted The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s claims that the establishment refused to serve her because of her views.

Goldberg said on the daytime show on Wednesday that the long-standing bakery refused her cupcakes because of its liberal stance.

Jill Holtermann, owner of Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island, said they could not comply with the order due to a boiler problem and held a news conference Friday flanked by local elected officials to undermine Goldberg’s claims.

Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella explained what happened, and then Holtermann thanked the crowd for their support.

“It’s been here 145 years. They had a boiler that was 60 or 70 years old. And the first week of November, guess what? It broke,” Fossella said.

‘They had it replaced. And the reputation of Holtermann’s is impeccable, so instead of committing to something they couldn’t guarantee, they said, ‘we can’t do it.’ And the person who smeared and slandered them took it as an insult to her. Just get over it. This family, God willing, will be here for another 145 years.”

Holtermann thanked the community for its support in the wake of the controversy and said she has been bombarded with phone calls since the episode aired.

“I’m so overwhelmed by the support. In between finding out yesterday that this was even happening, we were getting calls and people coming in and people from all over the world supporting us in every way possible,” she said. “We had calls from Alabama yesterday. Guys, I’m going to give you $50, send it to a school, send them donuts, send them cupcakes. The support has been so overwhelming and I know how hard my family has worked to keep this business alive.”

She said the community is the backbone of the business and staff talk to customers every day about the well-being of their families.

During Wednesday’s episode of “The view“Goldberg and her co-hosts celebrated her 69th birthday with Charlotte Russe desserts, a nostalgic New York treat that Goldberg shared was her mother’s favorite.

Goldberg told the audience that her birthday order almost failed because of what she said was the bakery’s objection to her left-wing political stance.

“They said their ovens were broken, all kinds of things, but people went to get them anyway, so I’m not telling you who made them,” Goldberg said Wednesday. She claimed her command was not rejected because of her gender, but rather because “they didn’t like my politics.”

Holtermann denied Goldberg’s version of events to Entertainment Weekly, explaining that the bakery’s problems were not politically motivated, but stemmed from mechanical problems with their boilers, an ongoing challenge in their building, which was built in 1930.

“I told Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,’” Holtermann told the outlet. “There’s so much going on with my boiler.”

Holtermann confirmed that she eventually managed to make 50 treats, which were picked up early Wednesday morning for the taping of “The View.”

Holtermann reiterated that her inability to immediately confirm the order had nothing to do with Goldberg’s political beliefs, adding, “I didn’t want to make a commitment that I can’t keep,” given the existing technical difficulties.
