Whoopi Goldberg thinks Jay Z had the right to smack Solange Knowles back.
“The View” co-host debated Tuesday over what caused Beyonce’s sister to
lash out violently at the hip-hop star in a surveillance tape obtained
by TMZ. While the discussion focused mainly on Beyonce’s inaction in the
fracas, Goldberg provocatively suggested Jay Z could’ve hit her back.
“I think Solange was ready for him to do whatever he was going to
do,” Goldberg said. “This is the thing, if anybody hits you, you have
the right — I know that many people are raised in a very different way
but if a woman hits you, to me, you have the right to hit her back.”
Barbara Walters questioned Goldberg about whether that would still be the case if the gender roles were reversed.
“If I slap a man, he has every right to slap me back,” Goldberg opined.
