In the wake of a heated discussion over a viral video featuring Miranda Lambert scolding concert attendees, Whoopi Goldberg decided to make an exit from the set of ABC’s The View.
The debate centered around a moment where Lambert paused her performance of “Tin Man” to chastise a group of fans for taking selfies during her show. Alongside Whoopi, co-hosts Sarah Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin were engaged in the discussion.
Whoopi expressed her belief that concertgoers should show respect to performers, remarking: “Even though they came to see her and paid for tickets, they don’t want to be there. So if she’s singing, show her at least a little respect so that you know you can see her and she can see you too”.
However, the co-hosts took a different stance, with Sunny asserting: “I’m going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757”, referring to the pricey VIP tickets the fans were holding.
The tension escalated when Whoopi noticed a ninety-one-year-old woman in the audience and decided to take a selfie with her before leaving the set. The audience chuckled as she made her exit, capturing the moment with the elderly fan in a parting snapshot.
