Whoopi Goldberg raised up her armor to defend the Barbie movie on The View against harsh criticism from several conservatives.
“It’s a movie!” Goldberg, 67, said during the Tuesday, July 25, episode of the talk show. “It’s a movie about a doll!”
The View cohost fired back against both columnist Ben Shapiro and Senator Ted Cruz’s negative takes on the 2023 release. “I thought y’all would be happy,” Goldberg continued. “[Barbie] has no genitalia, so there’s no sex involved. Ken has no genitalia, so he can’t — it’s a doll movie! And the kids know it’s colorful and it’s Barbie.”
Goldberg’s comments were in response to Shapiro, 39, calling Barbie “one of the most woke movies I have ever seen,” via Twitter on Friday, July 21. Shapiro teased that his review for the “flaming garbage heap of a film” would be available on his YouTube channel.
Cruz, meanwhile, claimed the movie is “Chinese communist propaganda in which the Chinese are asserting sovereignty over the entirety of the South China Sea,” during an interview with The Daily Signal published on July 16.
The politician, 52, alleged that because there is a kids’ drawing in the movie of a “blockish thing that is called ‘Asia’ and then they’ve drawn what are called the nine-dashes” it represents China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Goldberg, for her part, challenged Shapiro and Cruz to try and explain to their own daughters why the doll-inspired film is allegedly controversial.
“You guys, I want y’all to tell your daughters why you’re not taking them to the Barbie movie,” she said on Tuesday. “I want you to explain to them what’s wrong with Barbie.”
