- Whoopi Goldberg criticizes Rachel Bilson for “reverse slut-shaming” men
- Bilson expresses distaste for a “sexually explicit” male photo from the past
- Goldberg questions Bilson’s reaction on “The View”
Actress Whoopi Goldberg took issue with Rachel Bilson’s remarks about an old photo of a man’s sexually explicit pose, accusing her of “reverse slut-shaming” on her talk show, “The View.” Goldberg was taken aback by Bilson’s criticism, asking her, “Why you bitching?”
In the discussion, Bilson expressed her dislike for the picture, which she described as exposing a man’s genitals. Goldberg, however, questioned the validity of her distaste. “You know, we as women, we spent many, many years fighting not to be judged by the way people look at us,” Goldberg said. “Why are you doing it to a guy?” By challenging Bilson’s negative response to the image, Goldberg pointed out the potential hypocrisy in her reaction.
