Whoopi Goldberg Walks Off ‘The View’ During Miranda Lambert Selfie Debate — To Snap Pic with 91-Year-Old Fan!
“If you’re going to spend $750 to come to my concert, then give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don’t come!” Goldberg said
Whoopi Goldberg made sure her view was heard and seen on Tuesday’s episode of The View.
During a heated debate about Miranda Lambert’s recent headline-making concert — in which she stopped the show to publicly call-out a fan for taking selfies — the EGOT winner exited the stage, telling co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin “I’m leaving!”
“They don’t want to be there,” Goldberg, 67, had said to the panel, many who argued that they could see both signs of the debate. “If they paid money for the tickets, they came to see her. So if she’s singing, at least show a little respect. Acknowledge [that if] you can see her, she can see you too! … She can see what you’re doing and she can see that you’re ignoring her. It’s like being a lounge singer. You go into a bar, somebody’s at the piano, and nobody’s listening! That’s what it’s like for her.”
But Hostin, 54, didn’t agree. “I’m not split on this at all,” she said. “I’m going to take as many selfies as I want if I pay $757. I’m sorry, that’s just me.”
