Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg discussed their long-running rift - or lack thereof - during an emotional interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show Monday, in which the cast of 1985’s The Color Purple was reunited in commemoration of the hit film's 25th anniversary.

While many have speculated on the cause of the rift - big egos, perceived slights, professional jealousy - the two show biz vets chalked up the quarter-century of alleged tension up to miscommunication.

"Whoopi came up to me and she said, 'Can I just ask you something?'" Winfrey said. "Really. She said, 'Can I just ask you something? Did I do something to you?'

Winfrey continued, "And I said -- I said, 'What are you talking about?' She says, 'All these years, you know, we've been disconnected and I just want to know, did I do something?' I said, ‘All these years I thought you were mad at me.'

"All these years I thought -- I thought that you thought -- I don't know what I thought," Winfrey said, to which Goldberg replied, "It's crazy. It's crazy."

Winfrey said, "It's crazy. So I thought, you think I'm mad at you? I thought you were mad at me.”

Goldberg replied, “So crazy.

"What was that?" Winfrey said, to which Goldberg replied, "Who knows?"

I agree, that valley girl thing gets me really ticked off. If someone did an accent of her race she'd be hot!! Don't like her & no longer watch "The View"
