Whoopi Goldberg argued on “The View” that millennials feel that raising a family and buying a house are out of reach because they simply aren’t working hard enough.

Hollywood has rallied behind Roman Polanski after his arrest in Switzerland over the weekend, with the actor Whoopi Goldberg suggesting that whatever he was guilty of it wasn't "rape-rape".

As a guest on The View chatshow on US television, she said: "I know it wasn't rape-rape. It was something else but I don't believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like, 'You know what, this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail. I'm not staying.' So that's why he left."

it wasn’t rape-rape

It almost never is. Reminds me of that one scene in Bottoms. "Gray area stuff counts too."

Whenever Whoopi says something stupid, just remember she once trotted out Ted Danson in black-face and didn't understand why people were offended.

‘the view’ is toxic. If there was an equivalent of toxic masculinity for women, it would be that show. I mean it had barbara Walters as an opinion in where she attacked Corey Feldman for trying to speak out on sexual harassment in the film industry. that should be all it needs to assess it as a garbage program. I cannot believe it kept running after that and found more garbage opinions to taint the media. I immediately lose all respect of any celebrity that gets cast on the view. Although I suppose I should be grateful that it has exposed so many piles of shit in the industry. A sandbox of regret filled with cat turds.

Robin Williams is ashamed of her.

Apparently she's on a roll:

In a slip-up on "The View" Wednesday, Whoopi Goldberg suggested Jill Biden, who has a doctorate in education, be appointed surgeon general if her husband wins the 2020 presidential election, calling her a "hell of a doctor."

Haven't seen her acting in like a decade. She probably doesn't have time with how hard she works now.

The View is still on air? I thought they dropped it years ago.
