“Kevin Costner’s Explosive Oscars Ultimatum: ‘I Refuse to Share the Stage with Whoopi Goldberg!'”

Kevin Costner Reportedly Refuses to Share Stage with Whoopi Goldberg at 2025 Oscars – “The Mean Ones Don’t Belong Here!”
Hollywood is buzzing with controversy as reports claim Kevin Costner is refusing to share the stage with Whoopi Goldberg at the upcoming 2025 Oscars. According to insiders, tensions between the two stars exploded behind the scenes, with Costner allegedly telling producers, “I won’t stand next to her – the mean ones don’t belong here!”
The feud reportedly began after a heated exchange during a pre-Oscar meeting where Goldberg allegedly made a snide comment about Costner’s recent career choices. In response, sources say the Yellowstone actor stormed out, vowing not to appear alongside her during the live broadcast.
Witnesses claim the tension is palpable, with producers scrambling to rearrange the show’s lineup to keep the two stars apart. “Kevin feels disrespected, and Whoopi isn’t backing down,” one insider revealed. “It’s a mess.”
Fans are divided, with some supporting Costner’s stand against “Hollywood toxicity,” while others accuse him of being overly dramatic. Goldberg, known for her outspoken nature, has remained silent publicly—but insiders hint she’s fuming.
As the Oscars approach, all eyes will be on whether the pair can put their differences aside or if their feud will overshadow Hollywood’s biggest night.
