The View's Whoopi Goldberg reveals her daughter got pregnant at the age of 15 as 'REVENGE' - because she 'wanted one person in her life' who did not know about her famous mom
Whoopi, who was 19 when she gave birth in May 1974, has previously admitted that she chose her acting career over her daughter because she felt her shot at fame 'would never happen again.'
Writing in her new memoir, Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother And Me, the 68-year-old reveals that daughter Alexandrea Martin, who is her only child, told her that she 'wanted one person in her life who didn't know who Whoopi Goldberg was.' Alexandrea was 11 years old when moviegoers got the chance to witness her talents in her first major film role in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple, in which she played Celie Harris-Johnson. And last week on the ABC show, while discussing her new book with her cohosts, Whoopi compared leaving her daughter to when her own mother Emma left when she was just eight when she was sent to a psychiatric hospital in New York City.
