'No one should do this' - Whoopi Goldberg scattered her mom's ashes at Disneyland
"Not cool, since she probably wasn’t alone on the riđe" - Social media users were shocked to learn that Whoopi spread her mother's ashes while on her favourite ride at Disneyland.
Whoopi Goldberg has caused an uproar online after revealing that she scattered her mother's ashes at Disneyland.
The 68-year-old's mother, Emma Harris, passed away in 2010 after suffering a stroke.
During an interview on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', Whoopi opened up about how she honoured her mother after her death.
"My mother loved Disneyland, and so we took her to Disneyland. And when I was a kid, the World's Fair was here, and it was the introduction of Small World, and she loved Small World," she said.
'The View' co-host said while on the 'Small World' ride, she "scooped some of her up" and pretended to sneeze so she could spread her ashes into the water.
Whoopi also admitted to scattering some of the ashes by the flowers near the Disneyland sign. The EGOT winner strongly advised against anyone doing what she did.
"No one should do this. Don't do it," she said.
Whoopi further explained that she told Disney officials what she had done.
"I told them I did it. I wanted to make sure that I hadn't done something that was dangerous because it hadn't occurred to me. There's a reason they don't want ashes just floating around."

An X (Twitter) user wrote: "Ashes to ashes. Not a dignified way to treat a loved one IMO."
Another social media user wrote: "She should be fired and banned from the Disney parks like everyone else when they get caught spreading ashes."
