Whoopi Goldberg and Megan Rapinoe decided to leave the US because ‘We no longer feel appreciated and respected here

In a surprising move, iconic actress Whoopi Goldberg and soccer star Megan Rapinoe have announced plans to leave America, citing a profound sense of disrespect and unappreciation

This decision emerged during a brunch at LA’s ‘Eggs-travagance’ bistro, where they shared their frustrations over public scrutiny and backlash. Goldberg, known for her candid opinions on ‘The View,’ and Rapinoe, recently criticized for a missed penalty kick, found common ground in their experiences of relentless judgment.

Their journey began with a search for a more appreciative environment, starting in Italy and then New Zealand. Though drawn to the allure of these countries, they are still exploring options, hoping to find a place where achievements are celebrated, and mistakes forgiven.

Their departure is more than a quest for a new home; it’s a statement on the emotional toll of constant scrutiny. “It’s about finding a space to breathe, create, and exist without perpetual dread of backlash,” Goldberg explained. Rapinoe added, “I’ve given my all to the sport and the country. Recent events made me reflect: Where do I find balance?”

As their journey continues, their message has sparked mixed reactions in America, prompting discussions on celebrity, public responsibility, and the culture of judgment. Candlelight vigils and petitions have emerged, urging them to reconsider.

Whether they stay abroad or return, Goldberg and Rapinoe’s actions have resonated deeply, calling for empathy and respect in an era of rapid judgments and digital vitriol.
