Whoopi Goldberg has been embroiled in another social media controversy after sharing her views on actor Idris Elba’s therapy update.
The actress declared that she would be “angry” if her partner had to go to therapy to figure out his life with her. Elba has admitted during a recent podcast interview that he started seeing a therapist a year ago to deal with being an “absolute workaholic.”
Critics Slam Whoopi Goldberg For Her Opinion On Idris Elba’s Latest Confession
This week kicks off with the multi-talented Elba discussing her therapy experience with DJ Annie Macmanus on the latter’s podcast. The “Luther” actor, who began by saying, “I’ve been in therapy for about a year now. It’s a lot,” stated:
“It’s not that I don’t like myself or anything, it’s just that I have some unhealthy habits that really form. And I work in an industry where I’m rewarded for those unhealthy habits… I’m rewarded for it. Either to be selfish, or [because] I’m a workaholic. I’m a workaholic, and that’s not good for life in general.”
The award winner’s honesty quickly became a talking point among the public and the ladies of “The View” were no exception. During Monday’s episode of the daytime talk show, the panelists not only played a recording of Elba’s words but also gushed about how sexy her voice is.
Once his co-host finished raving about the voice and accent of “The Wire” performers, Goldberg stated:
“I’m not interested because I like to wake up with a cat who says to feed me. No fuss, no mess. Nobody said ‘I can’t come home because I’m busy.’ No, no problem. People say he works so hard that he doesn’t have time to go home.

That prompted Ana Navarro to publicly praise the “What’s Not to Like” rapper for taking the brave step of undergoing therapy to improve her life, and that only made the “Sister Act” actress double down on her looks. he said:
“I’m excited that you all heard. I heard something completely different. I’d be mad as h— at him if I were his wife. Because you’re basically saying you need to go to therapy to figure out how to get home. That’s an issue between you and me when you put it there.”
While his co-host only listened to Goldberg, viewers took it a step further by pointing out problems with his theory. One person write via X:
“@TheView @whoopigoldbeerg so glad to know you have a problem with a man like @idriselba for seeking therapy to help balance his work schedule so he can be more present in his family life. You said you would go crazy. That’s why you have no men and only cats.”
“Wokaholic, alcoholic, shopaholic, etc. All should be taken seriously…. Whoppi needs to calm down,” the second person recordedas the third demanded, “Notice how when that guy’s problem Woopi turns it around and solves it?” Taking a more objective approach, the fourth at length typed:
“Regarding Idris Elba, I think his dilemma is to maintain his career and the craft he is passionate about he feels he has to work/grind constantly at the expense of his family. He knew it was useless so he went to therapy. Sometimes grace has to be given.”

“Whoopi doesn’t care about anything today! But, I agree… who cares about Idris Elba going to therapy? These women just lust after him AND his voice,” the fifth netizen sounded.
Elba And Wife Sabrina Incorporate Some ‘Humor’ Into Their Romance
Long before Idris recognized the role of therapy in his work/life balance, the entertainer and his wife, Sabrina, opened up about how they weathered the inevitable arguments. According to The Blast, the couple attended the interview they started by announcing the premiere date of the second season of their podcast, “Coupledom.”
After the announcement, Sabrina shared that having a show that focuses on helping the “interesting duo” have “honest, unbridled conversations about all the complexities of living life together” doesn’t make her and Idris perfect. In fact, he insists that the goal of the podcast is not to give advice but to talk freely about relationships and gain more knowledge.
With that knowledge, the couple has figured out the easiest way to deal with the occasional conflict. As the model revealed, “Generally, if we argue, I don’t like to go to bed angry, and I think he does too. That’s probably the one thing we always try not to do.”
Additionally, the power couple have implemented the use of “childish humor” to keep the fun in their relationship, with Idris revealing that he likes to make “fart noises” while his partner does “silly dances.”
