Whoopi Goldberg isnt here for ageist commentary on Dolly Parton s latest incarnation as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
While most Americans were celebrating Thanksgiving, Parton delivered a dazzling halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders game. The country superstars set included her classic songs Jolene and 9 to 5, as well as a spirited mashup of Queens We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You.
The performance, however, drew a fair share of online criticism, much of it focused on the singer wearing a crop top and shorts over a flesh-colored body suit. Nobody wants to see a 95 year old granny dressed like that even if youre worth 650 million, one person wrote of Parton, whos 77, on Instagram .
Acknowledging the discourse on The View on Monday, Goldberg offered a concise retort to Partons detractors.
Some critics told her to act her age. Bite me! she said. And everybody who participated in this, you should be ashamed of yourself.
