Whoopi Goldberg has been rocking the no-brow look long before it became a TikTok trend in 2022, and the reason behind it is quite surprising. The iconic host of “The View” revealed that she has been without eyebrows for decades after her mother removed them when she was a child.
In a candid conversation with her co-hosts, Whoopi explained, “I had eyebrows as a little kid and you know how men get those bumps? I started to get them on my face so my mother removed them.” She further added, “And so I just keep doing it because I don’t know my face with eyebrows unless I’m working — they put them on and take them off.”
Interestingly, her co-hosts Sara Haines and Ana Navarro admitted that they had never noticed Whoopi’s lack of eyebrows until she pointed it out. Even her ex-husband was oblivious to the fact until one day he finally realized it.
Despite the trend of bold eyebrows in Hollywood, Whoopi has never tried to conform to beauty standards. In fact, she recently revealed that she lost a significant amount of weight due to taking type 2 diabetes medication. She shared, “It’s all the weight I’ve lost. I’m doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help and it’s been really good for me.”
Whoopi’s journey to self-acceptance and embracing her unique look is truly inspiring, proving that beauty comes in all forms.
