Whoopi Goldberg Takes a Dig at Kim Kardashian’s Influence in Hollywood: But ‘I Would Never Minimize Her’

She has a different take. Whoopi Goldberg addressed Charlize Theron‘s comments about Kim Kardashian‘s influence in Hollywood.During an episode of The View, which aired on Thursday, December 8, Goldberg, 67, started a conversation about Kardashian’s professional power.

Theron, 47, recently compared the reality star to Meryl Streep.“The market is really different today, and the fame that worked 20 years ago, the fame that was cash in the bank, is different now,” Theron explained to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, December 7. “We are living in a time of reality television, and God knows I love me some reality TV.”The Mad Max star continued: “So, the marketplace of what Kim Kardashian represents — and not in a negative way because I watch everything that she does — has way more value than what Meryl Streep, one of the greatest actresses working, does.”Theron noted that Kardashian, 42, and Streep, 73, both brought something important to the table, adding, “And that’s just the truth.

They have very different skills, but if you were Kim Kardashian, you’d probably get way more off the ground.”Goldberg, for her part, did not agree with the Atomic Blonde star’s assessment of the industry. “I don’t think that’s true.

Kim Kardashian cannot get a movie greenlit, or it would’ve happened,” she told her cohosts on Thursday. “She can’t do that. She can get television shows made, maybe, but that’s about it.”The New York native said she thought Theron had “more pull” than the Skims founder.“You get stuff done faster than I can.
