Whoopi Goldberg Exits ‘The View’ During Miranda Lambert Controversy

Whoopi Goldberg unexpectedly left the set of The View during a discussion sparked by a Miranda Lambert incident. The singer had reprimanded fans for taking selfies at her concert, which ignited a lively debate among the hosts. Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Lambert shouldn’t shame fans for wanting photos, while Whoopi labeled the selfie-takers as disrespectful and called for consideration towards the performer.

Sara Haines pointed out that the fans were close to the stage, questioning whether Lambert’s reaction was justified. Sunny Hostin criticized Lambert’s stance, emphasizing that with VIP tickets costing $757, she’d want to take as many selfies as possible.

The situation intensified when Whoopi suggested that those unable to refrain from taking photos should “stay home.” Sunny defended her view, prompting Whoopi to step into the audience and take a selfie herself to illustrate her point.

Ultimately, Whoopi’s departure from the discussion was more playful than serious, and while the incident generated considerable online chatter, opinions on the selfie issue among viewers remain mixed.
