</div>
<p>The comedian and <em>View</em> co-host does more mansplaining when it comes to domestic violence. </p>
<div><p>Whoopi Goldberg is quickly becoming an advocate for men who inflict domestic violence upon women. <a href="http://www.theroot.com/blogs/the_grapevine/2014/05/whoopi_goldberg_believes_a_man_should_be_able_to_hit_a_woman_back.html" target="_blank">You may recall back in May</a>, during the Solange Knowles-and-Jay Z elevator fight, that Goldberg said Jay Z had every right to hit Solange back.</p>
</div>
<div><p>“I think Solange was quite ready for him to do whatever he was going to do,” Goldberg said. “This is the thing: If anybody hits you, you have the right—I know that many people are raised in a very different way—but if a woman hits you, to me, you have the right to hit her back.”</p>
</div>
<div><p>Now Goldberg is singing the same song, but to the tune of a different celebrity caught up in his own domestic violence comments.</p>
</div>
<div><p>Last Friday, during an episode of ESPN’s <em>First Take,</em> Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless had a heated debate over the Baltimore Ravens’ suspension of Ray Rice for two games. <a href="http://www.theroot.com/blogs/the_grapevine/2014/07/ray_rice_receives_2_game_suspension_for_assault_outrage_is_expressed_on.html" target="_blank">Many people felt the suspension was too lenient</a>, especially since video captured Rice dragging his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer, out of an elevator unconscious.</p>
</div>
<div><p>Smith’s perspective fell within two stances. Even though he stated that <a href="http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2014/07/watch_stephen_a_smith_mansplain_domestic_violence.html" target="_blank">a man should never hit a woman</a> under any circumstances, he also stated that he tells the women in his family that they should never “provoke” a man.</p>

<div><font>George Zimmerman's new mugshot from Nov. 18, 2013. (SEMINOLE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE)</font></div>
<div><b> </b></div>
<div><b>The former neighborhood watchman who gained national notoriety after killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager, was busted Monday on suspicion of domestic violence 15 miles north of Orlando. This is far from the first time he has been back in the news since his acquittal in July.</b></div>
<div>George Zimmerman was charged with assault and battery for allegedly pointing a long-barreled shotgun at his new girlfriend Monday afternoon, authorities said.</div>
<div>The former neighborhood watchman, 30, pushed Samantha Scheibe, 27, from their Florida home at gunpoint and barricaded the door with furniture, according to the sheriff's office.</div>
<div>Two separate 911 calls obtained by TMZ, one from Scheibe and one from Zimmerman himself, captured the chaos of the moment.</div>
<div>"You put your gun in my freakin' face!" Scheibe yells at Zimmerman as she tells the dispatcher he pushed her out of her home. "He knows how to do this, he knows how to play this game," she tells the dispatcher.</div>
<div>Scheibe told cops he had a shotgun, an AR-15 rifle and two handguns in her home. She said the two had been together since August and that she told Zimmerman to leave her house.</div>
<div>The dispatcher tells the distressed Scheibe that three police cruisers are en route.</div>
<div>"I'm not walking over there yet, I don't think he'd do anything but I don't think he has nothing to lose at this point," she says of the acquitted killer.</div>
<div>The wannabe cop was arrested outside their Apopka, Fla. home, 15 miles north of Orlando. But before being apprehended, Zimmerman made a 911 call of his own, claiming his girlfriend, pregnant with his child, had gone nuts and started smashing things. Cops later disputed Scheibe is pregnant.</div>
<div>"I just want everyone to know the truth," Zimmerman tells the dispatcher.</div>
