'We don't all look alike!': Oprah stunned after beauty website mistakes her for Whoopi Goldberg in embarrassing Oscars tweet

Monday, February 29, 2016
Now, this made me laugh. Please does Oprah think she is way prettier than Whoopi Goldberg???
They look alike but the difference is skin tone...LMAO
Here is the gist: Total Beauty posted a photo of Goldberg arriving at Oscars red carpet
 They captioned it: 'We had no idea @Oprah was tatted, and we love it'
Oprah Winfrey has hit back at a magazine who embarrassingly mistook her for Whoopi Goldberg at the Oscars.  
Goldberg, who wore a black off-the-shoulder gown inspired by the frock worn by Bette Davis in “All About Eve”, revealed her tattoos running down her right shoulder. 
Total Beauty, a website posting makeup reviews and fitness tips, posted a photograph of Goldberg with the caption: 'We had no idea Oprah was tatted, and we love it. #Oscars.'
Oprah quickly responded to the gaffe by saying 'we don't all look alike Jeeeze!' 



In a photo uploaded to Instagram by her best friend Gayle King, Oprah holds up the offending tweet with a puzzled look on her face, while sat next to King's daughter Kirby Bumpus, who has her mouth wide open in apparent shock.
Captioning the photo, Gayle wrote: '@Oprah & favorite daughter watching #Oscars & seeing@totalbeautyeditors snafu! We all love@whoopigoldberg but we don't all look alike Jeeeze!'
This year's Oscars had already been marred by controversy, with no black actors nominated for any awards.  
It took the company more than an hour to take down the tweet and issue an apology, but the gaffe had already taken on a life of its own, with Twitter users calling out the mistake and posting joke memes in response.

The company wrote: '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.'

 But see hilarious tweets
