Whoopi Goldberg made a surprising exit on ‘The View’ amid a Miranda Lambert controversy. The singer scolded fans taking selfies during her concert, sparking a heated debate on the show. Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Lambert shouldn’t embarrass paying fans for taking selfies. Whoopi chimed in, calling selfie-takers rude and urged respect for the performer.

Sara Haines noted that the fans were close to the stage, but questioned if Lambert’s reaction was warranted. Sunny Hostin criticized Lambert, citing the high cost of VIP tickets, saying, “I’m gonna take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757.”

Things escalated when Whoopi suggested people should “stay home” if they can’t stop taking photos of themselves. Sunny Hostin defended her position, leading Whoopi to walk towards the live audience, taking a selfie to make her point.

Whoopi’s exit was a playful response to the debate.
