Rachel Bilson expresses intent to send Christmas gift to Whoopi Goldberg after criticism on 'The View'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: During her recent appearance on the 'Club Podcast,' Rachel Bilson was in complete agreement with host Bill Maher when he suggested that she should be thanking 'The View' co-host Whoopi Goldberg for criticizing her on the daytime talk show.
"I should be sending Whoopi a f**king Christmas present is what I should be doing," stated the 42-year-old actress. She also acknowledged that the criticism did feel "like shaming in a weird way."
What was Rachel Bilson's controversial comment?
Bilson had reportedly stated back in October that she would find it "weird" if a single man in his 40s had only slept with four women.
The co-hosts on 'The View' later discussed this remark, with Goldberg criticizing it.
"I normally don't respond when I get called out for things. But then again, it’s like, 'Alright, well, if you're talking about my podcast and I said something, let me respond. Because it’s just going to bring more people to maybe hear the conversation in the first place,'" Bilson explained on the recent podcast.
According to the Daily Mail, Bilson did say that there was more context to her comments and that she had backtracked on her initial remarks.
What was Whoopi Goldberg's take on Rachel Wilson's comment?
Expressing her view that Bilson's perspective was quite peculiar, the 68-year-old Goldberg commented that the number of sexual partners a person has is not her concern.
She questioned, "If he's happy with you and you're having a good time, why are you b****ing?"
Co-host Joy Behar followed her with a raunchier quip, saying, "If one out of the four can locate my G spot, I'm all in! I don't need thousands, get me one good one!"
However, Goldberg won the audience over by telling them, "Listen, not that I want to give you all this information, but you have to teach people what you want and where things are. They don't know if you don't tell them!"
The other co-hosts also joined the discussion, with Sunny Hostin sharing, "I don't want to know anything about ex-sexual partners, I've never asked my husband that. But I only wanna know if you have the herp or the clap or something like that. Then I want to know who gave you the herp or the clap because I don't want that, but that's it, there's no need to know."
"I also think if you're in a happy, stable relationship and you're overly consumed with your partner's past, that's a red flag in itself, like if they're invested in you, then it doesn't really matter," mentioned Alyssa Farah Griffin.
