Whoopi Goldberg Defends James On "The View"

Whoopi Goldberg is raising a few eyebrows for defending the husband of actress Sandra Bullock and his alleged infidelity. On Tuesday's edition of ABC's "The View," the Oscar-winner spoke out on Jesse James saying, quote, "It's nobody's fault. Maybe he was looking for something different." Goldberg also admitted that she had five or six affairs while married herself, adding, quote, "I made those mistakes, too, yeah. It happens sometimes. It happens...Maybe he wanted something wonderful in his life but couldn't deal with it."
Goldberg raised eyebrows last September when she came to the defense of embattled director Roman Polanski. The Oscar winner is facing possible extradition to the U.S. for a 30-year-old rape conviction involving a 13-year-old girl. Goldberg said Polanski's sexual encounter with the young girl wasn't, quote, "rape-rape" in her opinion.
