Agreed. Appauling commentary from Whoopi.
The whole story is a disgrace. I am shocked at those who have support him after he publically acknowledged the incident. Only in Hollywood.

I yes I read that article, she makes some excellent points about the crutch art provides for less than socially acceptable practices. I think as much as cases like this bring up that very pertinent issue, they also shed light on the importance and responsibility of high profile reactions and uncover scary social perceptions.

There’s a lot about Polanski’s recent arrest that I feel totally unqualified to comment upon. But I do think we can all agree that Whoopi won’t be living this atrocious comment down any time soon.
