Whoopi Goldberg, the star actress of Sister Act and The Colour Purple, has come under significant public backlash after she had some harsh advice for Gen Zs and millennials.
Goldberg emphasised during a session on The View, where she hosts alongside others, that they “just need to work harder” if they want to purchase property and provide for their families.
The comment came when the 68-year-old listened to how younger individuals are finding it more difficult to make ends meet in contemporary society.
Issues raised by panellists identified student debt, inflation, and lacklustre professional progression as significant contributors to this difficulty, making it any aspiration such as home ownership, starting a family, or advancing in their careers a tougher endeavour compared to their parents’ time.
Whoopi, who is said to have a net worth of around $60 million [£30 million], responded, saying: “Every generation comes and wants to do better than their parents.”
She expressed disbelief at the complaints, stating: “I’m sorry, if you only want to work for four hours it’s going to be harder for you to get a house.”
She continued: “I feel for everybody that feels this way, but I’m sorry we busted our behinds, we had to bust our behinds because we didn’t have the option of going back. Listen, we had all kinds of stuff. Every generation is told ‘You’re going to do worse than your parents’ and you know what people raise themselves up.”
Wrapping up her views during the discussion, Whoopi stressed the importance of being proactive and said, “This is what you’ve got to do – it’s called being a good citizen.”
