Who knew she was in this kind of predicament? There’s a new report that says Whoopi Goldberg recently admitted that the only reason why she’s still on The View after so many years is because she needs the money. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Whoopi Goldberg Admits That She Doesn’t Have Any Money
While having Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the show, Whoopi said that she can relate to the struggles of the working class in America.
She said, “I appreciate that people are having a hard time, me too — I work for a living! If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So, I’m a working person, you know?”
The former Hollywood actress continued, “My kid has to feed her family. My great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I know it’s hard out there. I love what [Ocasio-Cortez] did. Yay. We talk to people all the time who say, ‘This is what’s bothering me.’ But the thing that’s bothering everybody should not be the thing that puts 85% of other people in danger. I think that’s what we’re saying.”
It goes without saying that the internet certainly did have a lot to say about the matter.
Some even commented with, “Should we start a GoFundMe for the poor sack? Ignoring the fact for a moment that this wealthy tv personality has no self awareness or humility, how is this news?”
What’s Next For Whoopi Goldberg?
“Someone announced that they are going to work for a paycheck. Trying to make it sound like she’s barely getting by making $30,000/year.”
Another critic wrote, “She makes MILLIONS a year for God sake. I hate The View for this very reason. They are all so out of touch. Absolute garbage heap of a show.”
“I’m sure Whoopi has had times before she was famous where she struggled, so she has some perspective, but this was hard to stomach. I did the math and it would take me 133 years at my current pay rate to make what she makes in 1 year. Tone deaf is being kind.”
And then there was this comment as well: “Two words come to mind: tone deaf. Whoopi is worth $60 million; she makes a mere $8 million a year on The View; she owns an Italian Villa in Italy; a lavish apartment in NYC and she thinks she’s a member of the working class. Give me a break!!!!”
“Whoopi can live off her residuals in almost any state in America or overseas. It’s a shame that neither of them heard what EVERYONE else and millions Americans said. People are tired of just surviving constantly being ignored and being told they’re replaceable.”
