Iconic actress and talk show co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, alongside soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe, declared their intentions to leave America.

The overwhelming sentiment behind this unprecedented decision? A profound sense of feeling disrespected and unappreciated

While many significant decisions stem from hushed boardroom meetings or formal gatherings, this one found its origins in the most unexpected of locales: a brunch at LA’s renowned ‘Eggs-travagance’ bistro.

As both celebrities sat down, little did the onlookers know that the meeting would spiral into a national conversation on respect, scrutiny, and the emotional toll it takes.

Goldberg, with her illustrious career spanning over decades, has had her fair share of controversies, often stemming from her unabashed opinions on ‘The View.’

Rapinoe, on the other hand, recently became the target of extensive public critique following a missed penalty kick, an error that fans found hard to forgive.

The two shared, empathized, and realized that their individual experiences of public judgment and backlash were symptomatic of a broader issue. “Is it always going to be this way?” mused Rapinoe.

Will one mistake, one opinion, overshadow everything else we’ve achieved?”

While it’s not uncommon for celebrities to voice their discontent or even jest about leaving the country, this seemed different.

By the end of their brunch, Goldberg and Rapinoe had drawn up a preliminary plan: they would scout for a new place, a sanctuary where achievements were celebrated, mistakes were forgiven, and respect was paramount.

Their first stop was Italy. The allure of the country was undeniable – Rapinoe considered joining the Italian women’s soccer league, while Goldberg, ever the artist, toyed with the idea of indulging in the nation’s rich cinematic history.
