The View’s lively discussion about concert etiquette took an unexpected turn when Whoopi Goldberg walked off the set during a heated debate. The controversy surrounding Miranda Lambert’s recent concert incident had sparked a passionate conversation among the co-hosts, with Goldberg firmly standing by the country music star’s decision to scold fans for taking photos during her performance.
Lambert’s public reprimand had ignited a firestorm on social media, with fans and critics weighing in on the issue. While some applauded Lambert for prioritizing the integrity of her performance, others accused her of policing fans who had paid top dollar for their tickets.
The debate continued on The View, with co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin arguing that fans should be free to take photos and enjoy the concert as they see fit. Griffin asserted, “If I’m spending hundreds of dollars, I should be able to take as many selfies as I want.” Hostin added, “If I paid $757 for a VIP seat, you’d better believe I’m taking selfies.”
Goldberg, however, remained steadfast in her support for Lambert, emphasizing the importance of being present in the moment during a live performance. “You’re not really there if you’re constantly staring at your phone,” she said. “You might as well watch it on YouTube later.”
As the debate grew more heated, Goldberg suddenly stood up and announced, “I need a break from this selfie madness!” She walked off the stage, leaving her co-hosts and the live studio audience in stunned silence.
