Whoopi Goldberg WALKS OFF The View During Miranda Lambert Debate | E! News

During a heated discussion on ‘The View’ about Miranda Lambert’s recent concert controversy, Whoopi Goldberg left the roundtable to take a selfie with a 91-year-old woman in the audience.

The debate centered around Lambert’s decision to call out fans for taking pictures during her Las Vegas residency show on July 15.

As the conversation unfolded, co-hosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed their opinions.

Sunny Hostin did not side with the “Bluebird” singer, stating, “[I’m] going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757 for tickets.”

Whoopi strongly disagreed, asserting, “You know what? Stay home.

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.”

Sunny, however, argued that taking pictures at concerts helps her relive memories.

In response, Whoopi quipped, “Turn on the television, girl,” before leaving her seat to approach the audience.

“I’m leaving y’all! I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman, who is 91. So, we’re going to do a selfie,” she announced.

As Whoopi joined the audience member, she exclaimed, “Just me and you.

Will you push that button? We’ll be right back,” highlighting her point in a dramatic yet heartfelt manner.

The debate on ‘The View’ was sparked by a viral video showing Miranda Lambert expressing frustration with fans taking selfies during her concert.

Lambert told the audience, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.

It’s pissing me off a little bit. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”

The incident led to mixed reactions, with seven concertgoers visibly exiting the venue in protest.

One of them, Adela Calin, later shared her perspective with NBC News: “It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.

I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

The controversy has divided fans. While some sided with the disgruntled concertgoers, others supported Lambert and Whoopi’s stance.

A user commented under the viral video, “Good for Miranda.

This song is so special and beautiful,” reflecting the sentiment of those who believe concert etiquette should prioritize the performance over personal photos.

Overall, the incident has sparked a broader conversation about concert behavior and the expectations of both performers and audiences in the age of social media.
