Whoopi Goldberg criticizes Rachel Bilson for judging male partner's sexual history: 'Why are you bitching?'

Whoopi Goldberg is perplexed by actress Rachel Bilson's views on her romantic partners' sexual history.

After The O.C. star said she'd find a potential boyfriend's sexual inexperience "a little weird" on the latest episode of her Broad Ideas podcast, the Oscar-winning Ghost actress criticized her stance on Thursday's episode of The View.

"I'm sorry, I think it's very odd that you're concerned that he's had sexual partners — any sexual partners. Why is it your business?" the 67-year-old cohost said during a Hot Topics segment on the issue. "Listen, men, traditionally, were taught to have many sexually partners. That's how it was. Men could go and do whatever they wanted to do, and women were not supposed to. Now that has been shifting, and young women have been bitching about, you know, 'Why are you telling me what I should be [doing?]' Now, it's happening, and you're mad. I don't understand."

Goldberg reiterated her confusion by posing another pointed question to Bilson: "If he's happy with you and you're having a good time, why are you bitching?"

Cohost Joy Behar chimed in with a hilariously explicit remark of her own. "If just one out of the four could locate my G-spot, I'm all in," the 80-year-old comedian quipped. "I don't need thousands of them. Get me one good one. Right, ladies?"

Bilson was reflecting on her dating history on Broad Ideas when one of her cohosts asked her how she felt about a romantic interest's past experiences.

"If it's really low, at this day and age, you'd be like, 'It's a little weird,'" Bilson said. "This is going to sound so judgmental, but if a dude's, like, in his 40s and he's, like, slept with, like, four women. But it all depends. Maybe he's been in, like, decade[-long] relationships."

Bilson later clarified that she didn't think it was "fair" for her to make that kind of call. "A person is a person," she said.

A representative for Bilson did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment on Goldberg's statement.
