The nepo baby controversy, which was prompted by the much-publicized cover story of New York Magazine late last month, is now being discussed on The View. The panelists generally acknowledged the difficult situation that famous heirs frequently find themselves in and asserted that celebrity children work just as hard as everyone else.
Sunny Hostin, whose son Gabriel is a student at Harvard, claimed he frequently faces accusations that she helped him get into the prestigious university. However, she denied any involvement in her son’s entrance during the Hot Topics conversation.
Any parent will make an effort to give their kids a better life than they did, she added. “I know I worked extremely hard to provide my kids a better life, so you can imagine how astonished I was when people told me that Gabriel was accepted to Harvard because Sunny had purchased a building.
“Look, I’m from the projects in the Bronx. I’m sorry, but I can’t afford to buy any buildings for Harvard. As a result, he earned that on his own, and yes, I would be furious if someone tried to take it away from him. But we explained to him that while we can open a door for you, you still need to step through it, work hard, be there first and last, and work as hard as you can.
She nodded in agreement as Whoopi Goldberg said, “That’s my argument. Don’t assume that folks didn’t work for their position.
When asked about her personal experience breaking into the entertainment business, Goldberg admitted to the panel that she “didn’t have a leg up. And I’m where I am because I have it.
We actually didn’t have much help, Joy Behar told the panel, adding that she also succeeded “on her own,” but she wasn’t grumbling.
It feels fantastic, Behar remarked. “Each money you spend belongs to you. You merit it. You own every compliment you receive. It’s not my dad’s, though. I own it.
Even still, Goldberg maintained that some people with unfair advantages could have put in just as much effort as nepo infants.
Don’t assume that folks didn’t put in any effort or work hard, she advised.
Considering that their parents may have told them, “I’m not going to help you.” You must do this for yourself. 90% of the individuals I encounter are working themselves to death to live up to their parents’ standard of living.
