Whoopi Goldberg, 16-year co-host of The View, ruffled the feathers of millennials after going on a rant about their work ethic.On Wed (Nov 7), Goldberg, 67, compared younger generations who "only want to work four hours," to people like her, who she said "busted our behind" to get to where they are today. The conversation started when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, talked about the millennial generation being "the generation of the housing crisis, financial crisis and 9/11," with many people struggling to buy homes or even choosing not to have children for financial reasons.https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1722403628529701113"We've been in war my entire generation," Griffin continued, adding, "49 percent of people are living with their parents. Our American dream is different."But Goldberg, a baby boomer, claimed that "every generation comes and wants to do better than their parents did," before stating, "I'm sorry, if you only want to work four hours, it's going to be harder for you to get a house." "I feel for everybody that feels this, but, I'm sorry, we busted our behinds," the <a href="https://parade.com/news/whoopi-goldberg-the-view-absensce-explained-sister-act-vatican">Sister Act star</a> added. "We had to bust our behinds, because we didn't have the option of going back. We had all kinds of stuff." <h2 id="h-social-reactions">Social Reactions</h2>One user <a href="https://twitter.com/LegalSojourner/status/1722740742764785964">wrote</a>, "I like Whoopi for the most part, but I don't need to be lectured about work ethic by someone who makes $8 million a year for an hour of work 5 days a week.""Girl at Whoopi…nobody want to work 4 hrs lol. It’s many who are working full time & not even bringing in 3k a month. The problem is the wages aren’t livable, another <a href="https://twitter.com/jasthebae/status/1722745711039545843">chimed</a> in on the topic.On the next day's episode, Goldberg acknowledged that millennials were mad at her for previous comments calling them out for a lack of work ethic. The co-hosts were discussing Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce and some argued that Turner, who married Jonas at 23-years-old, was too young to get married. "Women, when we were kids, there was a standard women had to follow. You were a parent. You became a parent and you worked. I never knew women who didn’t work. I never knew women who did not work," Goldberg said, "That’s why I have an interesting time when we talk about millennials. They’re very pissed at me right now, the young people."

Whoopi Goldberg is setting the record straight about her sexual orientation. While on Raven-Symoné’s podcast “The Best Pod Ever,” Goldberg told Raven that she isn’t a lesbian after it was said that “The View” co-host was giving lesbian stud vibes. “Women have been asking me this for as long as I’ve been around,” Goldberg said. “I am not a lesbian. But I know lots of them, and I’ve played them on television. But I have always had lesbian friends because they’re just my friends,” she added. The award-winning actress continued, “I’m not gonna kiss you, but I’ll kiss you over here, I’ll do this but I’m not going to do this…And they’re like, ‘OK!’” Raven responded to Whoopi’s clarification and said, “There is something beautiful about a woman being able to embrace their masculine and feminine at the same time and wear it so well like you do.” Watch the full clip below. https://x.com/celebteapot/status/1694163911514148917?s=46&t=f45LpfSMP2bWXL9mF3rs_Q

<h4 id="h-whoopi-goldberg-is-making-it-clear-that-she-wants-to-rest-in-peace-after-her-passing">Whoopi Goldberg is making it clear that she wants to rest in peace after her passing.</h4>On a Wednesday's episode of The View, the topic of will preparation was sparked during a discussion about <a href="https://ew.com/person/aretha-franklin/">Aretha Franklin</a>'s newly discovered will. The Sister Act actress revealed that her own will prevents anyone from making a digital hologram of her likeness after she dies.Using Marilyn Monroe as an example, co-host Alyssa Farah explained how public figures should put in writing how they want their posthumous image to be used."Yeah, no, I don't want to be a hologram, but that's been in my will for 15 years," Whoopi Goldberg added.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zprEVYkmI8g&list=RDCMUCeH6qE4V7n5tVwP7NkdrtJg&index=7Cohost Joy Behar then added, "No one has really asked me if I want to be a hologram yet," to which Goldberg replied: "They don't ask you, that's the thing. They just do it, and then you go, 'Hey, isn't that Tupac? Wait a minute, didn't Tupac die? What is he doing up on...' Yeah, see, I don't want that. It's a little freaky, creepy."https://www.instagram.com/p/CUhLD4BsDV9/As an EGOT title holder with over 150 acting credits, Goldberg is justified in wanting to protect her posthumous likeness. This isn't the first time she's been vocal about not wanting the industry powers using her image. In a <a href="https://ew.com/movies/whoopi-goldberg-reveals-her-will-prevents-unauthorized-biopics-about-her-life/">December 2022 </a>episode of The View, co-host Sunny Hostin started the topic of posthumous biopics using Goldberg as an example. "They're not going to make films, because in my will it says, 'Unless you speak to my family, try it.' Try it," The Color Purple actress replied.

On Tuesday, Goldberg shared on an episode of The View that she would like to be considered when Jeopardy host, Ken Jennings, joined the show. The View cast member Alyssa Farah Griffin brought up the topic. “Another legendary game show host, Pat Sajak, just announced that he's going to be retiring from Wheel of Fortune at the end of next season." She then asked Jennings, "What's your reaction to the news? And any ideas on who should replace him?"Before Jennings answered, Goldberg stated her claim. “I want that job! I think it'd be lots of fun," she said. Jennings responded, “Well, there you go, we figured it out.”Goldberg wouldn't be a terrible choice as she has prior game show hosting experience. From 1998 to 2004, she appeared as the center square on Hollywood Squares.

Whoopi Goldberg had to quickly check an audience member during a live taping of “The View” earlier this week. As the cast was walking to their seats, a woman was heard calling the EGOT winner an “old broad.” Goldberg was taken aback and asked the unidentified woman, “Did you just call me an ‘old broad’?” The woman nodded her head yes and then proceeded to say, “Hey, it’s Wednesday, and I am an old broad, and happy about it.”Goldberg’s co-host Sunny Hostin went on to inform her that being called an old broad is better than being called anything else. The actress quickly responded and said, “The alternative is not attractive to any of us. We all want to be old broads and old dudes, you know?”Fans expressed mixed reactions about the incident. Some believe that the woman may have been referring to Whoopi’s new book “Two Old Broads” while others were pleased with the way that she handled the situation.

Elon Musk's purchase of the social app, Twitter, has had many people up in arms and he has only had two weeks on the job. From laying almost half of the site's workforce to charging verified users a monthly fee to keep their blue checks people are leaving with no hesitation. The latest? Whoopi Goldberg.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">TWITTER TO SUSPEND UNLABELED "PARODY" ACCOUNTS: Elon Musk tweeted that the social media platform will suspend accounts that impersonate someone and already suspended comedian Kathy Griffin for mocking him on her account – <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheView?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheView</a> panel reacts. <a href="https://t.co/wEci1lDcdL">https://t.co/wEci1lDcdL</a> <a href="https://t.co/y5TCJ1AqWL">pic.twitter.com/y5TCJ1AqWL</a>— The View (@TheView) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1589769673175928835?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2022</a></blockquote>The View co-host spoke about her decision on air with her fellow panelists. “I’m getting off. I’m getting off today, because I just feel like it’s so messy and I’m tired of now having had certain kinds of attitudes blocked, and now they’re back on."The “certain kinds of attitudes” the actress references are about a reported increase in racist and antisemitic posts on the platform.Her decision to leave the platform also comes after comedian Kathy Griffin's Twitter account was permanently suspended. Griffin changed her original Twitter name to “Elon Musk” and almost immediately was thrown off of the site. She then logged into her late mother’s account and tweeting at Musk: “Please do a better job running this company. It used to mean something.”The Tesla CEO announced Sunday, “Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended.”Goldberg wrapped up her announcement on Monday's show with her opinion on the current state of social media. “People keep saying it’s free speech, but all speech is not free speech. Some speech is not okay free speech. So everybody has to agree on that, but if people keep saying ‘You hurt my free speech” it’s going to be a problem. You know what? This is our problem. But it ain’t my problem today because I’m out.” <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkhUXwztpTP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Awkward Kween (@summerwalker)</a></blockquote>In a post on her Instagram stories, the Over It singer shared a photo of her and rapper, LVRD Pharoh (Larry), posing with her daughter whom she shares with producer London On Da Track. Over the image she updated fans on her life, which included the break up, and she confirms she has "decided to be single."The singer makes it clear that there are no hard feelings between the two. She says that she still thinks of him as an "amazing father" but there are things she won't tolerate.Walker also addressed the backlash on social media due to the announcement of the breakup. "Also I don't have to name names b/c you see it everyday in the media, all these celebrity women who are in "marriages" or in long term relationships with children getting dogged out every week," she says. "Relax with all that wow she's still not married, I could've been married to either one of my child's fathers, it's just certain things I won't but NOTHING was a mistake I wanted all my children by the age of 25 on PURPOSE & did that."This comes months after the two announced they were expecting a child together; Summer's second and Larry's first. The pair have been together for about a year and even got each other's name tattooed on their faces. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWmw2g1AgNt/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> View this post on Instagram <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWmw2g1AgNt/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Awkward Kween (@summerwalker)</a></blockquote>Summer Walker even addressed the face tattoo in her life update. “& no I ain’t removing my face Tatt I still have hella love for him.”Fans of the singer are hoping for the best for her but have not shied away from sharing how excites they are for upcoming music from the singer post-breakup.
