‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Relates To ‘The Bachelorette’ Star Jenn Tran When It Comes To Having Many Men Fawn Over Her: “25 Is Nothing!”
Whoopi Goldberg could hardly keep up with a debate about dating and marriage on this morning’s episode of The View. At one point during the Hot Topics segment, the longtime moderator broke down laughing, while claiming she had no idea what her fellow co-hosts were talking about.
The ladies began the segment by discussing Sophie Turner‘s recent PDA with a British aristocrat — something her ex-husband Joe Jonas is reportedly “upset” about. While Sunny Hostin speculated that the singer has “jealousy and resentment” toward the actress — whom he recently split from — she also pointed out that they got married “too young.”
Turner was only 23 years old when she tied the knot with Jonas, and while it may be young to Hostin, Joy Behar noted that women feared becoming an “old maid” if they weren’t married by that age back in her day.
Meanwhile, Sara Haines gave a very wordy — and somewhat confusing — explanation of why she thought women were often “pumped into marriages and having babies” at a young age.
“A lot of women, it’s hard for them to stay out there [in the workforce] competitively during those generations of time where they stayed at home,” she said. “I think it was more just to perpetuate the species and towns and social church pressure, all those things. It’s a messy thing. But what I’m thinking is the reason we say thirties [is a good time to get married] — we know there’s a lot of life for women and men.”

If you’re lost, don’t worry — so was Goldberg, who collapsed her head down on the desk and literally LOL’d.
“Sometimes I don’t know where we are,” she admitted. “I don’t know what we’re talking about.”
Once she collected herself, she offered her opinion on the subject. According to Goldberg, people can fall in love and get married at any age they please — and being a part of the workforce has nothing to do with it.
“Listen, love is love. When people fall in it, you have a very hard time talking people out of it. And sometimes, you just have to let them do what they do,” she said. “When we were kids, there was a standard women had to follow. You became a parent and you worked. I never knew women who didn’t work. I never knew women who did not work every day.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
