AceShowbiz - "The View" co-hosts were debating over Miranda Lambert drama in a new episode of the talk show. Whoopi Goldberg, however, appeared to have had enough as she left the stage while discussing the country singer calling out fans for taking a selfie at her concert.
During the Hot Topics segment on the Tuesday, July 18 episode of the morning show, Sunny Hostin showed support for fans who were upset after Miranda scolded them for taking a group picture during her performance. The co-host said that she was "going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757 for tickets."
Whoopi then defended Miranda as she fired back, "You know what? Stay home." The TV personality added, "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 argued that she preferred to capture moments from concerts so she can relive the memories any time she wants. In response to that, Whoopi stood up from her seat and told Sunny, "Turn on the television, girl."
Whoopi later walked off stage, prompting co-host Joy Behar to ask her where she was going. "I'm leaving y'all!" Whoopi replied. "I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman, who is 91. So, we're going to do a selfie. Just me and you. Will you push that button? We'll be right back."
Miranda faced backlash for shaming concertgoers for taking a selfie during her "Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo the Las Vegas Residency" on Saturday, July 15. The singer was just a few bars into her song "Tin Man" when she spotted the seemingly rude concertgoers. She briefly paused her performance to scold the fans.
"I'm gonna stop here for a second. I'm sorry," the Grammy Award winner said as seen in a TikTok video filmed by one person in the audience. "These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It's pissing me off a little bit," she said while pointing to some people in front of her.
"Sorry, I don't like it. At all," the "Fastest Girl in Town" songstress went on to fume. "We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music." While some people cheered along, some attendees were seen walking out of the venue.
