Whoopi Goldberg Believes Daughter Got Pregnant At 15 To Take 'Revenge' On Her

Whoopi Goldberg thinks her daughter Alexandrea "Alex" Martin Dean got pregnant when she was a teenager as a form of "revenge" on her.

The EGOT-winning actress shared her thoughts on Alex becoming a mom at a young age in her new memoir, "Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me."

Goldberg -- who welcomed Alex at 18 with her first husband Alvin Martin -- confessed that after learning her then-high schooler daughter had gotten pregnant, she was worried that Alex would miss out on life experiences once she became a young mom.

Alex welcomed her first child, Amara, when she was only 15 years old.

According to Goldberg, it wasn't until years later that Alex admitted that her struggles with her mom's level of fame might have played a role in her teenage pregnancy.

"Years later, Alexandrea told me that she thinks she got pregnant as a teenager because she wanted one person in her life who didn't know who Whoopi Goldberg was," Goldberg wrote in her memoir, according to The Sun.

The Oscar winner shared that she understood Alex was angry with her because her acting commitments kept her away from her daughter as she was growing up.

"I thought she was getting revenge on me for being gone so much. I got it," Goldberg added.

It was Goldberg's mom, Emma Harris, who often cared for Alex and accompanied her when she gave birth to her first child in November 1989, according to the "Sister Act" star's book.

But Goldberg and Alex eventually repaired their bond, and their relationship grew stronger. Alex also followed in her mother's footsteps and became an actress, appearing in projects such as 1993's "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" and 2003's "Strange as Angels."

After Amara, Alex welcomed two children, daughter Jerzey and son Mason, with her husband, Bernard Dean.

Last year, Goldberg opened up to People about her grandchildren, admitting that she can sometimes be a "bad influence" on them.

The "View" co-host revealed that she taught her grandson how to say the F-word when he was just 2 years old.

"My daughter said, 'Where did he get that?' And I said, 'Well, it sounds like you taught it to him.' She didn't talk to me for a week," Goldberg said.

More recently, Goldberg explained to the outlet why she decided to write her book, "Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me."

According to the actress, the book is a tribute to her family, and the title is a special nod to her late mother, Emma Harris, and her late brother, Clyde K. Johnson.

Goldberg said she hopes the memoir will allow "people to get a little bit more insight into me."

"It's a little bit more of where I come from and the people I've come from, what my blood is, who my blood is," she added.

"Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me" hits shelves Tuesday. Fans can preorder it now wherever books are sold.
