VIDEO – AND THEN A SHOW BUSINESS GIANT –
May 2, 2024 – Ms. Goldberg has admitted cocaine was “kicking my a**” as she hit rock bottom in the 1980s when recreational drug use in Hollywood was at a high. The Oscar-nominated star, who has been open about her past, recalls an awkward incident at a hotel in her new memoir.
Whoopi cleaned up in the ‘70s after becoming a heroin addict and her first husband was her drug counselor, Alvin Martin, the father of her daughter, Alex.
But after moving from New York to California to further her acting career, she started taking cocaine when she began attending Hollywood parties.
Whoopi believed she could handle the drug because it didn’t seem as dangerous as heroin and Hollywood had a relaxed attitude towards it.
She said a bowl of Quaaludes would greet her at the door of parties and lines of cocaine would be laid out for guests at soirees in the likes of Hollywood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills.
