Whoopi Goldberg, 69, reveals very surprising piece of lingerie she has not worn in 50 years
Whoopi Goldberg made a surprising admission during an episode of The View this week. While chatting alongside co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, the 69-year-old Hollywood vet — who appeared to fall asleep on a recent episode — revealed she hasn't worn a bra in 50 years. The admission was made as the women discussed the subject in reference to a conversation between Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon on their podcast Reasonably Shady. During The View's Hot Topics segment, the ladies weighed in on their preferred way of putting on the undergarment. When it was time for the Ghost actress to share, she exclaimed, 'I don't wear one. I have not worn a bra in 50 years.' She lightheartedly added that she 'liberated those girls a long time ago.'

According to her timeline, Whoopi has not put on a brassiere since she was in her 20s back in the 1970s. Demonstrating her ability to make an audience laugh with her comedic chops, Goldberg got out of her chair quickly acted out a scene. 'This is what you do. You're walking and then you go, "Hey girl," she said while pretending to kick a would-be breast off the ground and over her shoulder. One year ago Whoopi revealed that a hotel maid once found her in the closet with cocaine 'all over' her face after she became a 'high-functioning' addict in the 1980s. She opened up about her substance abuse in her memoir, Bits And Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, And Me. Inside the pages of the book she also wrote about her mom, Emma, being sent to a psychiatric hospital for two years. Recalling the height of her addiction to cocaine, the Sister Act star wrote that she believed she could handle the drug because it didn't seem as dangerous as heroin, which she had previously been hooked on in the 1970s. Whoopi explained in the literary effort how after moving to Los Angeles she attended parties where it wasn't unusual for a bowl of Quaaludes to be openly displayed for guests. The mother-of-one, whose first husband Alvin Martin was her drug counselor, explained that despite using drugs routinely, she still showed up to work. However, about a year into the substance abuse she realized she was getting 'sloppy.' She recalled the incident that took place in a Manhattan hotel room, describing it as a 'slap-in-the-face' moment for her. According to the memoir, she was sitting on the closet floor sniffing cocaine by herself when a maid knocked on the door and let herself in. 'I screamed, she screamed and backed up and looked like she was going to run,' Whoopi explained. 'I had to get to her quickly and try to calm her down. She was staring at my face as I talked,' the morning show host continued before noting she later looked in the mirror and realized that she had cocaine 'all over' her face.

How do you hook it? Women are debating the proper way to put on a bra: ‘The fact that people do this is blowing my mind'
Turns out, getting dressed can be a full-contact sport — at least when it comes to putting on a bra. A boob-tiful debate has ignited after 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Gizelle Bryant and her podcast co-host Robyn Dixon revealed on an episode of their podcast, 'Reasonably Shady,' their vastly different bra-hooking techniques — erupting a battle of the back-claspers vs. the front-fasteners. '(Some people) latch it in the front, and then they swing it around, and then they put their arms in,' Bryant said. Advertisement 'That's how I do it,' Dixon admitted. Cue the chaos. Jenna Bush Hager and sportscaster Erin Andrews weighed in during a recent episode of 'Jenna & Friends,' siding with team back hook. Advertisement 'We don't put our bra on like that, though. We put it on in the back,' said Bush Hager. 'I've never done it on the front unless it's a front clasp.' 3 Putting on a bra is an act that women will always wonder if they're doing correctly. í íµí³í¸í½í° íâ¢íâ¬í¾íâíµíµí²í° – 'I'm double-jointed. I can do it. I just can't do the strap,' Andrews added. 'I ask [my husband], 'Honey, you're going to have to tighten this bad boy. Tighten it tighter,'' Bush Hager added. Advertisement Turns out this is a long-standing debate — and not every technique involves twisting, hooking or sweating it out. There are multiple Reddit threads of women asking each other how to properly put on the required wardrobe item. 3 Turns out this age-old debate has been bouncing around for decades — and not every bra-putting method involves twisting, contorting or working up a sweat. – 'It partly depends on how broad your shoulders are and how your mobility is. I could never get a correct-sized bra over my head like that, but I know people who can. And not for nothing but repeatedly stretching the band out to put it on that way will definitely wear it out faster,' one person explained on Reddit. Advertisement 'The proper way is to put your arms through the straps and put it on, then reach behind you and do up the clips,' chimed in someone else on the same thread. Even people on TikTok are trying to differentiate between the right and wrong way. 'The fact that people do this is blowing my mind,' a commenter wrote on a TikTok video that discussed the supposed right way. 'This is how I've always done it. the twist method is uncomfortable for me so I'm not sure how else to do it?' another comment read. But Gen Z is the generation trying to reshape the bra narrative. And they're not just rethinking how to put it on — they're questioning why it needs wires at all. Generation Z isn't burning their bras, but they're happy to send underwire packing. Advertisement TikTok creators are going gaga for wire-free options, racking up millions of views — and tossing their pokey push-ups in the bin. 3 Gen Z may not be burning their bras, but they're ditching the underwire fast. TikTokkers are racking up millions of views flaunting their wire-free wins — and chucking their pokey push-ups without a second thought. Arman Zhenikeyev – Melbourne's Stephanie Jade Lewis told that ditching wires was a game-changer. 'I don't even know I'm wearing anything… Now, it's not even a thought,' she said. Orly Jacobson jumped on the wire-free bandwagon too. 'After my breast reduction, I was so sick of wearing painful, wired bras… Seeing a lot of women my age wearing playful and versatile bralettes made me want to jump on the bandwagon.' Advertisement And Gen Z is putting its money where its mesh is. 'We have seen a significant consumer trend among Gen Z women, who are ditching traditional wired bras in favour of wire-free options,' De Winter said. Whether you hook, twist, tug or step in — one thing's for sure: the bra wars are far from over.
