On Friday, May 10, Whoopi, 68, sat down with journalist Don Lemon on the Dom Lemon Show.

She talked about her memoir, her weed shop, experiencing grief, and if she would ever marry again.

“Do you ever get lonely?” Don, 58, asked.

Whoopi took a breath and said, “I don’t think so.”

“You know why I’m asking that?… Because I just got married,” Don replied.

“And remember before when you wrote the book about how marriage was not for you, I interviewed you then and we talked about it just personally.”

“And I said, ‘I don’t think marriage is for me’,” he finished.

Whoopi said that she thought Don had no idea what it entailed.

Don then asked Whoopi if it was true that she doesn’t like people living in her house.

“I don’t mind people living in my house. The truth of the matter is I am fundamentally a selfish person,” Whoopi said.

The View host went on to say that because she has a daughter, son-in-law, three grandchildren, and a great-grandchild that she doesn’t have a lot of time for other people coming into her life.

“Hit and runs are great. I don’t mind those, but you can’t spend the night,” Whoopi admitted.

Don laughed and asked her if hit and runs still happen, to which Whoopi replied, “Oh yeah!”

Whoopi has been married three times.

I don’t mind people living in my house. The truth of the matter is I am fundamentally a selfish person. Hit and runs are great. I don’t mind those.

‘I MUST BE DOING IT WRONG’

Whoopi then went on to say how that admission made her feel about herself.

“You have to give yourself permission because you have this whole line of words that are stacked up in your head about what you are if you say a hit and run is where you want to be and you don’t want to be married,” she shared.

For example, Whoopi said some people might think they are a terrible person or a whore.

However, the actress said that she never really thought about it.

“I just figured I must be doing it wrong because other people have seemed to have figured it out,” Whoopi said.

“And what I realized was that I had figured it out. I was just surprised by the fact that I didn’t really want it, but I like to hit and run.”

“It requires a lot of give and take and I’m at the point in the my life where I don’t want that. I see you when I see you and then you go,” she finished.
