Whoopi Goldberg Stirs The View by Steering Charlie Sheen Conversation Into a Raw Revelation of Her Own Battle With Addiction
Whoopi Goldberg took control of a highly charged conversation on The View, bringing it to a halt with a powerful, emotional reflection on addiction and family. The topic at hand was Charlie Sheen’s past, specifically his father Martin Sheen’s decision to turn him in for a probation violation in the late 90s after a drug overdose. Charlie had described the event as “the biggest betrayal,” but with time, he came to see it as an act of love — a paradox that sparked a fierce debate among the co-hosts.
