Brittney Griner and Whoopi Goldberg Plan to Leave the U.S.: “Talent Is Undervalued”
Brittney Griner and Whoopi Goldberg, two prominent figures in their respective fields, have made headlines with their recent remarks suggesting plans to leave the United States.
Griner, a celebrated WNBA player and Olympic gold medalist, has been vocal about her frustrations following her recent legal challenges abroad and the public discourse surrounding them.
After spending months detained in Russia, Griner returned to the U.S. amidst a wave of mixed reactions.
Goldberg, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT) award-winning entertainer, echoed similar sentiments in a recent interview.
Known for her candidness, Goldberg criticized the undervaluing of creative professionals and pointed to a lack of respect for artists and entertainers who contribute significantly to global culture.
“It’s exhausting to constantly fight for recognition and fair compensation,” she remarked, addressing systemic issues that she believes stifle creative industries in the U.S.
