Whoopi Goldberg Defends Roman Polanski

Roberta @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, September 30, 2009

In 1977, Roman Polanski, aged 44, had sex with a 13-year-old girl named Samantha Gailey. He invited her over for a photo shoot, then gave her quaaludes and champagne.

In an interview, she recalled, “We did photos with me drinking champagne. Toward the end it got a little scary, and I realized he had other intentions and I knew I was not where I should be. I just didn’t quite know how to get myself out of there. I said, ‘No, no. I don’t want to go in there. No, I don’t want to do this. No!’, and then I didn’t know what else to do. We were alone and I didn’t know what else would happen if I made a scene. So I was just scared, and after giving some resistance, I figured well, I guess I’ll get to come home after this.”

Despite her protests, she said, “he performed oral sex, intercourse and sodomy” on her, each time after being told no and being asked to stop.

Now that you’re caught up on the back story of this whole scandal, let’s fast forward to today. I never thought I would refer to Whoopi Goldberg as a nitwit, but I am today.

On “The View”, she defended Polanski, saying that it wasn’t “rape-rape.” What does that even mean?!??

He pleaded guilty of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, but it was still rape. She was thirteen, for Christ’s sakes.

Listen to what Whoopi had to say:

I hope they throw the book at that coward. Shame on him for what he did to that young girl. I know that she probably wants to move on already, but he still committed a crime and then fled the country for fear of the sentence.
