Oprah Winfrey has responded to a beauty website that mixed her up with actress Whoopi Goldberg on the 2016 Oscars red carpet.
Beauty website TotalBeauty.com shared a since-deleted post on Twitter, which showed a photo of Whoopi Goldberg on the red carpet at the Oscars. However, in the caption, the beauty brand mistakenly referred to Goldberg as Winfrey.
Gayle King later posted a photo to Instagram that showed Oprah shrugging at the camera with a perplexed look on her face.
"We all love @whoopigoldberg but we don't all look alike Jeeeze!" King captioned the photo.
Total Beauty said that the company will donate $10,000 to a charity of Oprah and Whoopi Goldberg's choice.
Using this #Oscars #SNAFU as an opportunity to donate $10k to @whoopigoldberg & @oprah's charity of choice. #ThatsNotOprah #WeMeanIt

We’d like to apologize to Oprah and Whoopi, as well as everyone we’ve offended. It was our error, and there are no excuses. We’re sorry.
