bannana July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Roseanne Barr was another one who mentioned that scum was known for questionable behavior. If I am not mistaken, she said she might get in trouble for speaking the truth. She said people in Hollywood such as waiters and waitresses to the biggest people in Hollywood, knew he was up to no good. I believe her. There were other comedians who mentioned there was talk in the comedy circuit about Cosby. The thing is, it is not just Cosby. For sure there have been other people in Hollywood who have committed rapes. Someone upthread mentioned big names in Hollywood might have been victims of Cosby. Very true. One of those victims was a former Hollywood executive named Cindra Ladd. She is married to another big time Hollywood producer, Alan Ladd Jr. who won an Academy Award for the move Braveheart. For Whoopi to not know any of this, while other comedians are talking about it, it makes her just as big a liar as Cosby. Her comment about "everyone taking qualuudes", as if to justify Cosby for having possession of those drugs, just makes her black ass more ignorant because it is not him being in possession of drugs that people are up in arms about. It is the fact he used those drugs in order to rape women. Yes, thanks, I think it was Roseanne I was thinking about. And IIRC even Rosie O had heard these stories. It seems like it was a well known occurrence, but apparently Whoopi, Captain of the Ship, had no idea. Or she is just okay with it because it wasn't rape rape. 8 Link to comment
Cosmocrush July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 (edited) I'm late to the party but I have enjoyed all the snark you all brought today. Rosie's sobbing goodbye cracked me up. And just when I thought she was done she started up again! But my favorite part was after all that, the lengthy speech, eulogy, monologue, etc.at the very end of the show she clarified that she would be back tomorrow, not leaving for a few more weeks. Hahahahaha! How embarrassing. And seriously, who cares? Sorry Rosie P. but honestly there have been co-hosts working on this show longer than you. Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a talk show host yell at an audience the way Whoopi talked to us. I've never heard of a performer who thought it was okay to talk to their audience that way either. I don't care what kind of garbage she's been reading, that was completely unacceptable. Yes, Whoopi can think whatever she thinks. She can even say whatever she likes. BUT, she has be willing to live with the consequences. I am really hoping that this time, there will be some real consequences for her stand - financial consequences. Corporate America generally doesn't play with that kind of bullshit, ask Donald Trump. Or her buddy Mel Gibson; remember how she defended him, yelling that He. Is. Not. A. Bigot. after the tape of his drunken anti-Semitic rant came out? How about Gilbert Gottfried who lost his AFLAC gig over insensitive tweets. Didn't Tiger Woods lose most of his endorsement deals after his infidelity scandal? Small potatoes compared to this, in my opinion. I thought it was ironic they made a Hot Topic out of Paula Deen without mentioning the consequences that came her way for saying something the public deemed unacceptable. In fact, lame duck Rosie P basically threatened Deen in the name of the entire Latino community. I too thought of the Whoopi/ Ted Danson incident all those years ago. It's almost as if Whoopi is deliberately pissing people off so that TPTB will have no choice but to let her go. If that happens would Whoopi be entitled to a huge payout? Assuming that's the case, that would be Whoopi's dream deal - get paid lots of money for doing absolutely nothing. Seems like there's someone who posts here who is familiar with the contracts the hosts sign. My opinion - she should be fired for cause without any big bucks coming her way. I wouldn't doubt that she has that "Pay or Play" clause in her contract. I remember reading here (or maybe even TWoP) that Whoopi does have a Pay or Play contract as the reason she remained after they tried to clean house last year. It's something like $5 million dollars and any long time viewer knows this show is nothing if not cheap - no way they would pay her without working.

backformore July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Cosmo, I watched the show late, haven't even finished the whole thing, and came here to post almost exactly what you said. Rosie's tearful speech sounded like she was telling us she only had 3 months to live. She's been a non-entity on this show anyway, she contributes so very little. She's nice enough, I don't dislike her, but this is not the right show for her. Whoopi can yell about anything, and if she expresses enough indignation, includes a little "damn" and "Hell", and then throws in a boob joke, the audience cheers and claps. So she thinks they agree with her. Her tantrum today was out of line, and I thought she made herself look worse. Yeah, I have sons, Whoopi. Adult sons. And if 40 women came forward separately and said that my son drugged and raped them, I might not WANT to believe them, but I would. And I'd take a serious look at myself to figure out what I had missed. You don't speak for me Whoopi. And don't tell me to back off - Take a little time to enjoy MY view! 24 Link to comment

geekburger July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 (edited) If nothing else, this Whoopi/Cosby mess is showcasing what has annoyed so man VIEWers here for so long--her refusal to acknowledge any other opinion as valid, yelling and screaming at the audience, not allowing a conversation to flow (ie moderate), always having to have the last word, and a general disdain for the audience/any other points of view. It's very loyal of her to stick up to a friend but to shut down any other opinions is ridiculous for a show about others views. Edited July 9, 2015 by geekburger 13 Link to comment

NextIteration July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 When Whoopi made the comment about "the 80's" I thought that perhaps, she had, in the 80's, partied too hard, taken some quaaludes, and not been too sure who she had sex with. Maybe her view is that everyone was taking all kinds of drugs and hooking up with whomever, so what's the big deal? (I mean, after all it's not rape-rape). This, and really quaaludes were more of a 70s thing, and often used to come off cocaine. I think we know that Whoopi partied a lot and was probably promiscuous, maybe that's why she struggles with the concept of non-consensual sex, having had experience with it? It's hard to give proper consent when you are wasted, which is the whole damn point with Cosby. Good- somebody with a spine needs to stand up to her and this bullshit. If a fucking confession isn't enough evidence, what is? I'm inclined to agree with you guys that it might have nothing to do with Cosby and everything to with her and her own possibly shady experiences in the past or something. Because at this point it's a joke. I sure hope that he shows up and isn't cancelled and that Whoopi shows up as well. This story isn't going anywhere soon. 8 Link to comment

CousinAmy July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I read an article last night by an African American man who said he supported Cosby because of so many cases of white women falsely claiming they were raped by African American men in the past. He then noted that cases of false claims were only about 5% of cases. He finally came around, like Jill Scott, because of the deposition. So there may be a racial aspect to Whoopi's position. Has there ever been a racial breakdown to the victims? Except for Beverly Johnson, I remember most of the ones who have gone public have been white, young, and, in their younger years, conventionally pretty. That may be a factor for Whoopi's disdain. However as a woman, I can't understand why she wouldn't have been horrified as the number of cases started to add up. 4 Link to comment

Just because Cosby hasn't been found guilty of these crimes in a criminal court, he has admitted under oath during a civil deposition during a civil court matter what crime he committed. There is a reason why he settled. He knew he would likely be found guilty in a criminal court. Edited July 9, 2015 by SPLAIN 6 Link to comment

Considering Disney's very strong message (swiftly taking statue down the day before criminal investigation was announced) about what they feel toward Cosby, I'm sure someone has said something to her. She is entitled to say anything she wishes, but you don't challenge The Disney Empire. She needs them ($) more than they need her. If it were some corporate crime or something benign, an entertainment superpower wouldn't care. This is about 40 years of drugging, raping women and underage girls. With proof. 2 Link to comment
marny July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing that sign-off was a result of a lecture from the Powers that Be. Every other talk show on tv encourages its viewers to use social media to participate in their shows. They beg for tweets and hashtags and photos. The Talk posts viewer tweets. Today Show posts tweets and fan pics. Even Dr. Phil pretends to post viewer questions. But Whoopi basically orders the audience to shut up, stop tweeting, tells us no one cares. This flies in the face of the network's desire to get audience response. I'm sure they're fine with her contrary opinions because they bring up the ratings, but it seems the network may finally be telling her, "You can spew your garbage, but don't you dare tell our viewers to stop participating." It's one thing when she was doing it over small stuff, but now it's over a major issue that's getting huge attention. Enough is enough. Edited July 9, 2015 by marny 6 Link to comment

If she LIKES someone, has ever worked with them, or if they have some celebrity status and she sees a need to have them as allies (bonus points if the person in question is both Black and male) - than nobody better accuse them of anything, because "we don't know, we weren't there" and "presumed innocent until proven guilty" And "If a woman hits a man, he's going to hit back" . 10 Link to comment

Cosmocrush July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 (edited) One thing to remember about the Cosby mess...... many of the girls he raped were under age...... that keeps getting lost in the discussions Another thing is that the women were drugged; how many didn't even know for sure what happened? How do you report a rape in the 1970s/80s if you aren't even sure it happened - only that this powerful man, powerful enough to help your career, drugged you. Out of the 40 that have told their stories, I believe there are at least that many more that haven't. As far as Whoopi losing work over her adamant defense of Cosby, I'm thinking no one has been beating a path to her door anyway; outside of this show she's had some guest spots on ABC sitcoms, some producing projects with her own production company and the never ending Sister Act. She hasn't starred in a movie in over a decade. So it's not like where Paula Deen lost an empire composed of dozens of partnerships with corporations or even CAA dropping Cosby. Now, maybe she's going to lose future work, but it won't be as satisfying to me as if she lost this job. Yep, maybe she's trying for that daytime Emmy! Shockingly she already has one and even more shocking shares it with Bits and Sherri. They won for "Outstanding Talk Show Host" in 2009 - a year that Oprah took her name out of contention and Rachel Ray won for best talk show.

She just wouldn't" So it's right to say their side of the story." So they basically just cut out the name of their supposed source - whom I believe when he says he never called the show. Unfortunately for the store's owner, the video was proof enough (duh!) for the local Health Department to knock their rating down a grade for leaving the donuts out.

Her actions and behaviour, or lifestyle choices are all defined by how she votes. Really? Has she always been like this? I haven't watched everyday since RO left, but somehow I don't remember her doing this last fall. Maybe I just blocked it out? She seemed more relatable when she was talking about being star-struck or watching trashy reality TV with a glass of wine, etc. Still, I think Nicolle knows that she was hired as the Blonde Republican so hopefully that's why she feels the need to remind everyone about that. Whatever, I find it snide and weird too. Not all my girlfriends share my politics and no one ever feels the need to insert, "As a Republican...." into a conversation about fireworks etc. That ship has sailed. Quite a while ago too. Didn't CAA announced yesterday that they dropped Cosby seven months ago? And how lame that she couldn't come up with the word(s) "integration" or "desegregation" or "Civil Rights legislation" during the Confederate flag discussion? I lose words, too, sometimes, but don't they go other the Hot Topics stuff prior to the show? Nope. Whoopi rolls in after the other co-hosts are done with hair and makeup which is where they "prep" lol. Reportedly, one the reasons she's was pissed at RO is RO wanted to have 8:00 am meetings. And thanks for that CNN link merriebreeze. Watching Goldberg point her finger at the camera and yell at the viewers to "BACK OFF ME" again just reinforced my disgust for her big mouth.

MatchaLove July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Whoopi was less confrontational today. I, too, think she got a stern "talking to." Maybe this has something to do with it ? http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cosby-accuser-fires-back-at-whoopi-goldberg-he-raped-me/ The queen is not nearly as important as she thinks she is. And how lame that she couldn't come up with the word(s) "integration" or "desegregation" or "Civil Rights legislation" during the Confederate flag discussion? I lose words, too, sometimes, but don't they go over the Hot Topics stuff prior to the show? Omg, the victim, Lili Bernard, in that piece said Cosby was holding a pillow over her face while he was raping her. Omg. I dare Whoopi to say one more word on-air in his defence. Her professional world could implode very quickly. 7 Link to comment
