A lively debate on The View took a turn for the lighthearted when Whoopi Goldberg staged a playful walk-off.
The discussion centered around a recent viral video where country singer Miranda Lambert halted her concert to scold fans for taking selfies during a performance.
Whoopi, known for her strong opinions, sided with Miranda, arguing that fans should show respect by focusing on the performance. “They came to see her,” she emphasized. However, her co-hosts, including Sunny Hostin, disagreed.
Sunny pointed out the hefty price tag of VIP tickets, implying that fans were entitled to capture memories.
The disagreement reached a peak when Whoopi, seemingly frustrated, announced her departure. To everyone’s surprise, she didn’t head backstage but instead approached the audience.
There, she spotted a beaming 91-year-old woman and declared, “I’m leaving y’all! Because I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman.”
This unexpected turn of events sent the audience into laughter, including her co-hosts who initially thought she was genuinely upset.
Whoopi’s quick wit and playful exit diffused the heated debate, showcasing her ability to shift moods and connect with the audience.
While the conversation on concert etiquette continued, the selfie moment provided a heartwarming and lighthearted interlude.
