Whoopi Goldberg is a complex character when it comes to her scandals. Her response to criticism can lead to mixed feelings about whether she is “normal” in the way she handles controversial issues.

On the one hand, Goldberg has a strong and unflinching personality, which makes her seem unaffected by public opinion. She often stands by her opinions, even when those statements are highly controversial or offensive. For example, when she defended director Roman Polanski, claiming that his actions were not “real rape,” her statement was met with shock and criticism. However, instead of immediately apologizing, she defended her stance, which may not be considered “normal” in the way many would expect a celebrity to be when faced with public pressure.

On the other hand, Goldberg has often argued that she is simply exercising her right to free speech. This shows a certain level of determination in her thinking. Despite her many scandals, Goldberg has always been confident and not easily swayed by opposing opinions, even though this may affect her image.

So Goldberg may not be “normal” by the public’s usual standards of being easygoing and casual, but this is also part of her personality and personal brand. She chooses to be true to her thoughts, accepts controversy and does not easily change her stance, which both sets her apart and makes her a target of controversy.
