‘I’m Leaving Y’all’: Whoopi Goldberg Walks Off ‘The View’ Amid Miranda Lambert Controversy
This week on ‘The View,’ Whoopi Goldberg grabbed attention by staging a walk-off during a live broadcast, prompted by the controversy swirling around singer Miranda Lambert. Lambert had paused a concert to reprimand fans for taking selfies, igniting a fiery discussion among the show’s hosts.
The propriety of Miranda Lambert’s actions came under scrutiny, with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asserting that it’s disconcerting for concertgoers who had paid for the experience.
Whoopi Goldberg weighed in, denouncing the fans’ behavior as rude and stressing the importance of showing respect towards the performer.
Sara Haines raised a valid point, noting the fans’ proximity to the stage and questioning whether Lambert’s public admonishment was justified. Sunny Hostin highlighted the significant cost of VIP tickets at the venue, defending the selfie-takers by stating, “If I paid $757, I’m gonna take as many selfies as I want.”
Tensions flared when Whoopi Goldberg, provoked by Sunny Hostin’s perspective, suggested that those unable to resist taking photos should “just stay home.” To drive her point home, Goldberg ventured into the live audience, taking a selfie with someone.
The incident, including Whoopi’s walk-off, garnered widespread attention, with videos circulating online. The controversy surrounding Miranda Lambert’s reaction to fans taking selfies and the impassioned debate among ‘The View’ hosts further fueled the ongoing discussion about audience conduct at concerts.
