Oprah and her fans immediately pulled the racist card: ‘We don’t all look alike Jeeeze!’ Did they ever think that the mistake was as innocent as confusing two overweight, aging celebrities?

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.’

The chat show host has now 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. Via: UK Daily Mail
