Default Whoop Goldberg: Slut Shamer? Victim Blamer?

Quote:
Bella Thorne has called out Whoopi Goldberg for her reaction to the actor leaking her own nude photographs online.

On Saturday, the 21-year-old decided to “take the power back” by releasing her own topless photographs on social media after a hacker threatened to go public with the images.

“U don’t get to take another thing from me. U can’t control my life, you never will [sic],” Thorne wrote in an open letter on Twitter.

On Monday’s episode of the ABC daytime talk show The View, Goldberg criticised Thorne’s decision and seemingly blamed her for taking nude photographs in the first place.

“If you’re famous, I don’t care how old you are. You don’t take nude photos of yourself,” Goldberg said.

“If you don’t know this in 2019, that this is an issue, I’m sorry...You cannot be surprised if someone’s hacked you, especially if you have stuff on your phone.”

On Tuesday, Thorne reacted to the 63-year-old’s response with a series of scathing Instagram Stories.

“Shame on you Whoopi,” Thorne said in one video.

“I just want to say that me watching this video made me feel really bad about myself...You’re so crazy for thinking such terrible things on such an awful situation.”

The actor then announced a boycott of The View, stating that she was going to cancel an upcoming interview on the show because she didn’t “want to be beaten down by a bunch of older women” over her body and sexuality.

Thorne went on to question Goldberg’s views on consent, adding: “Saying if you take a sexy photo then basically it deserves to be leaked like…So if I go out to a party drinking and I want to go dancing on the dance floor…do I deserve to be raped too?”

In an open letter posted to her Instagram Stories, Thorne concluded by saying it was “sick and disgusting” for Goldberg to blame girls for taking nude photographs in the first place and called on her to change her point of view since young girls watch her show.

In August 2018, the man who hacked into hundreds of iCloud accounts of Hollywood stars before leaking their nude photos was sentenced to eight months in prison.

George Garafano became infamous when he stole private photos from people including Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst, and made them available across the internet.

Garafano received a prison sentence, three years of supervised release and 60 hours of community service.

I think Whoopi is in the wrong and saying what she did is like blaming someone for their house getting robbed because they own nice things so that obviously invited the robbers to do what they did. No one is to blame for their nudes getting hacked other than the person who hacked them.
