Whoopi Goldberg Defends Celebrity Privacy on ‘The View’

Whoopi Goldberg advocated for respecting the privacy of celebrities’ weights during a discussion on “The View.” She argued that others should not form opinions on someone’s weight changes, agreeing with Sunny Hostin’s point that the “cult of celebrity” is to blame. Hostin added that celebrities’ weight changes, like Selena Gomez’s, may be for personal health reasons, and Goldberg emphasized that such matters are private and not for public discussion. Goldberg revealed her own experience, stating she weighed almost 300 pounds during the filming of “Till” and used the weight loss drug Mounjaro after gaining weight from steroids due to illness. The discussion highlighted broader issues of privacy and respect for personal health choices.
