I don’t think the problem is the mere use of the word, but the fact that he unfairly called an identifiable group of women “hos.” In the case of Whoopi Goldberg, it fits.

The problem wasn’t the work “Ho” — it was the reference to “Nappy headed” Ho’s that upset everyone.

Don’t start on Whoopi Goldberg. You’ll be accused of being Anti Semitic.

You big silly! Whoopi is pigmentally-gifted, so she is allowed to use racial slurs that others get pilloried for!

This issue *was* that he defamed academically gifted athletes who brought their school to a championship game for the first time in decades. Calling them prostitutes was defamatory, and it was something that any father of a daughter who had achieved what one of these young women has achieved should get fighting mad about.
It is not defamatory to call oneself a "ho."
