<h3 style="text-align: center;">Whoopi Goldberg Opens Up About Her Sexuality To Raven-Symoné</h3>
<p>The 67-year-old actor appeared on a recently published episode of Raven-Symoné&#8217;s podcast, &#8216;The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda.&#8217; About halfway into the episode, the group began to discuss same-sex relationships, and Symoné posed a question to Goldberg.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Speaking of love and, like, staying out of people&#8217;s business, I want to just dig into your business a little bit,&#8221; Symoné told Goldberg. &#8220;But sometimes, honestly, when I was around you, I loved you so much, I just wanted to be up under [you] the whole time. But that&#8217;s also because you just kind of gave me lesbian vibes.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Symoné then went on to tell Goldberg that she gives off &#8220;stud vibes.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;So if you want to tell us anything, you&#8217;re more than welcome,&#8221; Symoné explained.</p></blockquote>
<p>Goldberg addressed Symoné&#8217;s comment by explaining that she often receives that question from women. However, she is &#8220;not a lesbian.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;But I know lots of them, and I&#8217;ve played them on television&#8230; But I&#8217;ve always had lesbian friends because they&#8217;re just my friends&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Raven Symoné Praises Whoopi Goldberg For Her &#8220;Duality&#8221;</h3>
<p>As the conversation continued, the former Disney Channel actor shared her praise for Whoopi Goldberg and her response.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Which makes me happy because I can also say that&#8230; there&#8217;s something beautiful about a woman being able to embrace their masculine and feminine at the same time and wear it so well like you do&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="CwQ-pLcNp18" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>Symoné continued by explaining that Goldberg presents herself as a human who lives in her &#8220;duality so well,&#8221; she believes that is why the 67-year-old has been so successful.</p>
<p>Goldberg then responded by thanking Symoné and letting her know that she believes everyone was created in their duality.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It isn&#8217;t this or that. It just is,&#8221; Goldberg firmly concluded.</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Raven-Symoné Recently Shared Her Own Revelations</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/raven-symone-plastic-surgery-child-star-reductions-lipo-before-18/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, Raven-Symoné also opened up with her own revelations earlier this month. During a previous episode of her podcast, the 37-year-old revealed that she had &#8220;two breast reductions and lipo&#8221; before she turned 18. However, she never shared the information publicly.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I had two breast reductions and lipo before I turned 18.… I never [publicly] shared it,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;There was paperwork involved. My dad suggested, strongly, that I should get my breasts reduced.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, the actor explained that chose to undergo liposuction after having the first breast reduction to get others to &#8220;stop calling [her] fat.&#8221; However, she explained that she gained weight following the two initial surgeries and then decided to go back for a second breast reduction.</p>
<p>Symoné added that this was because her breasts &#8220;were still too big for others’ feelings.&#8221;</p>
<p>Looking back, the 37-year-old ultimately shared a word of advice for others contemplating surgery.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you want something changed in your body, live with it for a little bit longer to see if it changes. And get therapy before that happens.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
