Whoopi Goldberg defends Dolly Parton’s Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit

Bless their hearts.

Whoopi Goldberg slammed critics of Dolly Parton’s skimpy Dallas Cowboys cheerleading uniform after the music icon performed at the Thanksgiving Day football game between the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders.

“Apparently, my turkey wasn’t the only subject online that people were hating,” Goldberg, 68, said during the “Hot Topics” portion of “The View” on Monday.

“77-year-old superstar Dolly Parton stole the show on Thanksgiving at the Cowboys-Commanders game dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, but some critics told her to act her age,” Goldberg continued to tremendous applause from the studio audience.

“Bite me,” she added. “Everybody that participated in this, you should be ashamed of yourself.”

Cohost Sunny Hostin agreed with Goldberg. “If I look like that in one of them Cowboys things, I might have everything out,” the 55-year-old laughed. “I don’t know if that’s a belly ring or what, but I want what she has.”

Taking the stage during the televised halftime show, Parton belted out several of her iconic tunes such as “Jolene” and “9 to 5” before transitioning to Queen’s “We are the Champions” with the help of several professional cheerleaders.

The performance — which was bolstered by a Cowboys win — caused many fans to flock to X (formerly Twitter) to gush about the singer.

“She’s 77 and Dolly Parton just showed Madonna how it’s done,” one enamored user said.

“Joe Biden is 81. Donald Trump is 77. If we have to elect an old person, let it be Dolly Parton,” a second user proclaimed.

“HOLY HELL,” a third user bluntly remarked.

Even former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo seemed to be taken aback at Parton’s appearance.

“I mean, she looks amazing, right?” Romo, 43, said at the time. “She’s wonderful. Who doesn’t like Dolly Parton?”

Barstool Sports later poked fun at the commentator’s comment, saying that he was “horned up.”

Last month, Parton attributed her over-the-top performances to the “town tramp,” a local woman who wore mainly high heels and tight skirts.

“She was flamboyant. She had bright red lipstick, long red fingernails,” the country music star told The Guardian. “She had high-heeled shoes, little floating plastic goldfish in the heels of them, short skirts, low-cut tops, and I just thought she was beautiful.”

“When people would say, ‘She ain’t nothing but trash,’ I would always say, ‘Well, that’s what I’m gonna be when I grow up,’” the Grammy winner added.

Her grandfather, however, hated the way she dressed.

“I was willing to pay for it,” the “Steel Magnolias” actress said. “I’m very sensitive, I didn’t like being disciplined – it hurt my feelings so bad to be scolded or whipped or whatever.”

She added: “But sometimes there’s just that part of you that’s willing, if you want something bad enough, to go for it.”
