“‘I’m Outta Here’: Whoopi Goldberg Exits ‘The View’ During Miranda Lambert Debate”

The Heated Debate

Whoopi Goldberg left the set of ABC’s “The View” following a heated argument about a viral video of Miranda Lambert. The video showed Lambert stopping her performance to reprimand some audience members. They were taking selfies during her song “Tin Man.” Whoopi was debating this moment with her co-hosts when she decided to leave.

The Viral Moment

Miranda Lambert was performing “Tin Man” when she noticed a group of girls taking selfies. She stopped singing and addressed them directly. Lambert’s action sparked a debate on “The View.” Whoopi Goldberg, Sarah Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin discussed the incident.

Whoopi’s Point of View

Whoopi Goldberg believed that the audience should show respect to the performer. She said, “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.”

Co-hosts Disagree

The other co-hosts had a different opinion. Sunny Hostin pointed out the high price of the tickets. “I’m not at all divided on this. The $757 tickets in the VIP area they were in are pricey. I’m going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757,” she declared. This comment led to Whoopi walking off the set.

A Lighter Moment

As Whoopi left, the audience found humor in her exit. She stopped to take a selfie with a ninety-one-year-old woman in the audience. “I would like a photo with this amazing ninety-one-year-old woman. We shall so take a selfie. You and I together,” Whoopi said. The moment lightened the mood after the intense debate.
