Local talk show host Whoopi Goldberg recently criticized ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith for his comments about Serena Williams.
Smith took issue with Williams dancing during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance. He suggested the dance was a dig at Williams’ ex-boyfriend, Drake, and that her husband, Alexis Ohanian, should be upset.
Goldberg questioned Smith’s interpretation on The View. She wondered why he focused on Williams’ past relationship instead of praising her dance skills.
Goldberg couldn’t understand why Smith would assume Williams was even thinking about Drake, let alone trying to provoke him. She emphasized Williams’ intelligence and questioned Smith’s line of reasoning.
Goldberg asked, “Why wasn’t it, ‘Damn, Serena was great’? Why is it about some ex-boyfriend she hasn’t thought of?”
She further pressed, “All you can think of is her ex-boyfriend? I don’t understand.
Why would you even think it was…Why would you think she’s not smart enough?” The full discussion can be found on The View‘s YouTube channel.
In other View news, Whoopi Goldberg will present at the Oscars this year. Joy Behar has returned to the show after a brief absence due to illness.
