Whoopi's Week...
I have no proof she hired Olivia Pope, but there was certainly a 'fixer' working hard to save Whoopi Goldberg's career this week. The past couple of week's Whoopi has been indignant (and not very smart) in not only her defence of Bill Cosby, but also her throwing blame on the victims. She was obviously, and rightly so, pounded on social media. Despite her claim not to read thing written about her, Goldberg spent most of the last two weeks responding to it. Last week she told people to back off, this week, she played a different tune. Monday, it was a plea for sympathy, using personal loss and sadness as a shield. I am sorry for Whoopi's loss, but we all experience life pain, we don't all have a tv show to publicly use it as an excuse for our behaviour. Tuesday, the big gun, ABC News legal analyst Tom Abrams was brought in to educate Whoopi on the ins and outs of the Cosby case. Although many are claiming Whoopi changed her tune, I didn't feel it. Goldberg chose to talk down to the viewers of
The View, acting like everyone was a ignorant as she about the specifics of the case. Whoopi's credibility is gone for me, has been for awhile. Nice try Olivia, but this one you can't fix in just an hour...
Is it a coincidence that EVERY single woman who has hosted with Goldberg has left, or is leaving the show? Her inability to allow others to also share their views to me, at the heart of the shows problems.
