KittyQ June 3 Share June 3 I don't watch basketball normally, but that video looked like this was purposeful shoving, not a question of overzealous play. That looked like a playground bully pushing someone over to establish dominance. I'm surprised that some of the ladies seem to be rationalizing it as if this is something that shouldn't be disallowed. 1 10 Link to comment
Haleth June 3 Share June 3 (edited) Does anyone else think the phone tracker topic was added just to let Sunny continue to show she’s a helicopter parent? Jodie Turner-Smith was delightful. Edited June 3 by Haleth 3 Link to comment

She's seen plenty of Knicks games in the 90s... Aggressive play (purposely pushing, hard checking, etc) is not unusual in basketball. Male or female. Welcome to pro sports. Anna's perspective was a good one. It looks agressive to her, but she knows she's not a basketball fan or player, so it's hard for her to judge. 5 Link to comment

dogy35 June 4 Share June 4 Like Ana, I'm no basketball fanatic, but def it appeared that Caitlin Clark was simply standing by when she was pushed hard for no apparent reason by an opponent. Very disappointing to see this type of behavior from a female pro player - aren't sports supposed to be about sports"man"ship?? I guess such aggressive play is what can keep WNBA in the news (& talked about on The View.) For me, it's simply indicative of our current win-at-any-cost, rules are for others ethos. 5 6 Link to comment
maggiemae June 4 Share June 4 I'm wondering how long Sunny's son allowed her to track him at Harvard...or still does. But, but it is about a parent that has fallen and can't up... what if they are set in one place with friends or watching a long movie. MAYDAY! Or took a nap. Sunny is full of crap thinking she can check in on her phone on her families whereabouts. Writing her books, partying with her friends, tending her her animals daily, reading all the books and watching all the movies they discuss on the show. Oh, and in the makeup chair and going on the show. Conversations with who knows who but some lawyers, going to the WH, her charities and board member responsibilites. IMO I think she is spread so thin she thinks she is fabulous and invincible. But not really home. Link to comment
maggiemae June 4 Share June 4 In addition it really bothers me when Sunny (and Sara) often say they have the VYD...how many sets of sheets do you need, or comfy yoga pants, or especially trying most of the cosmetics and swearing by them even though if you did you would not be using them regularly. 3 Link to comment

Spartan Girl June 4 Share June 4 Whoopi’s exasperated face after the hearing footage spoke for us all. Sarah was right on about how poor Dr. Fauci hasn’t done everything to deserve this disrespect and persecution, not from the hearing or from “the someone here” she was referring to. 10 Link to comment

Ellis Bell Lives June 5 Share June 5 They should just get it over with and re-name The View, Whoopi's Personal Projects. I enjoyed Sister Act but they started the convo discussing sex toys, so I think I'll bow out. 5 Link to comment
Haleth June 5 Share June 5 (edited) I didn’t know Whoopi’s daughter was in the movie.

Snapdragon June 5 Share June 5 I'm assuming that today's episode was to help hype people up for Sister Act 3, because Sister Act 2 was not a good movie (except for the songs) and not really worth an entire episode dedicated to it. That movie came out when I was eleven and even at that tender age, I remember thinking, "This..is not great. Or necessary." Sister Act, on the other hand, is fun times and I watched that all the time when I was 10 (we recorded it off a VHS rental, which is how my parents got 90% of our video collection, back in the day). 1 1 Link to comment

lookeyloo June 5 Share June 5 I listened to Whoopi's book. She read it. I think she is different on The View than she is in real life. She did have a lot of trauma in her life but she does seem to have been kind to a lot of people and they have been kind to her. I think the Whoopi on a movie set is not the Whoopi who is the moderator of The view. 6 1 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule June 5 Share June 5 The first Sister Act movie was HILARIOUS! Robert Miranda, who always plays a mob minion was too funny as Joey, pausing to kill Deloris, because she said she wanted to say her last prayers. Along with fellow minion, Willy, played by Richard Portnow. The songs were GREAT! And I always dance to them when I hear them on the movie. 17 minutes ago, lookeyloo said: I think she is different on The View than she is in real life.

Someone should have read Hax's response out loud to Sunny. It might have taken some of the smug off. Or maybe not. Hax hit the nail on the head and her advice was spot ON. 2 Link to comment

Ellis Bell Lives June 6 Share June 6 "I didn't know this was going to turn into a director/talent conversation." Poor Ron Howard was probably booked for the sole purpose of kissing Whoopi's ass, too bad he cut her out of his film, lol. It is a Disney production so they got their promotional moment. Whoopi, however, did not. Sunny thinks she's THE parent template for Gen Z I hope her kids don't one day kill her while she sleeps. Joy sounds like a female DeNiro with her emotionally-charged Trump warnings. Calm down. At this point, she might as well be yelling at me to get off her lawn. Were Sara and Alyssa there? 2 Link to comment
Haleth June 6 Share June 6 No, Whoopi, there were no women at Normandy. Arguing with Joy will not make it so. Sunny may not go to her kids’ interviews but I’m sure she grills them before and after. 3 Link to comment

KittyQ June 6 Share June 6 (edited) Whoopi was rewriting history, perhaps as she'd like it to be? WACs and other female military personnel weren't in combat like Normandy invasion. They did serve in some hazardous situations, but not in actual combat. I'd also like to emphasize to her that we (the U.S.) aren't the only ones to "not always get it right"; no one "gets it right" all the time, and some never get it right. Additionally, what is "right" at one point in history may turn out to be "wrong" in others. Edited June 6 by KittyQ typo 5 1 Link to comment

Sunny did ask one of the actors about the time he caught staring at Whoopi’s daughter, Alex. Of course, the actor had to explain that it was because he thought Alex was pretty.

bluegirl147 June 7 Share June 7 I just realized all this was for Sister Act 2 not the original Sister Act. I find that strange. I mean it was an OK movie but I thought the first one was better.

I wonder if so much focus on her is because she is a draw for viewers or are they just feeding her ego? I listen to the podcast every day and Whoopi is never on. I'm not complaining but it shows that she does the bare minimum required to be a View cohost. 3 Link to comment

The other hosts have done something like 30-40 episodes each. (They all, except Whoopi, do one episode each week.) She apparently rules the roost and they let her get away with it. I guess she threatens to quit if they make her do something she doesn't want to do, but it's not fair to the others. 1 Link to comment
