Whoopi Goldberg Shares Very Relatable Reason She's Remained on The View

Whoopi Goldberg works hard for her money.
And she is showing no signs of slowing down. While discussing to the many economy-centered responses to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent social media question asking followers what swayed their decision to vote the way they did during the 2024 Elections, Whoopi expressed why she can empathize with them—as she feels she’s in the same boat.
"I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me, too. I work for a living," the Color Purple star told fellow co-host Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Ava Navarro and Sara Haines during the Nov. 12 episode of The View. "If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, okay? So, I'm a working person, you know?"
The 69-year-old host stressed that she isn’t the only person in her family that has to work.
"My kid has to feed her family. My great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I know it's hard out there," she added. "I love what she [Ocasio-Cortez] did. 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 percent of other people in danger. I think that's what we're saying."
And she’s not just working on The View.
Whoopi is back to business developing the third installment of the Sister Act franchise. Disney greenlit the project in December 2020, noting that Whoopi, who plays singer-turned-nun Deloris, was returning to star and produce.
So far, Whoopi has remained mum about details surrounding the highly-anticipated film.
But while she isn’t planning to retire anytime soon, she is looking forward to leaving a legacy to her family. After all, amid many celebrities sharing they are choosing not to leave their fortune to their kids, Whoopi made it clear that she is leaving her wealth to her daughter Alexandrea Martin, 50—whom she welcomed with first husband Alvin Martin.
"One of the great answers is children learn by what they see," the For Colored Girls actress said during May 2 episode of The View. "My mother worked her behind off and so that's why I feel the way I feel and I'm leaving my kid everything that I have."
