Whoopi Goldberg made headlines on ‘The View’ by playfully walking off stage during a heated debate sparked by Miranda Lambert scolding concert-goers for taking selfies. Lambert’s outburst, defending her onstage presence, prompted co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin to call it embarrassing for fans. Whoopi chimed in, labeling the selfie-takers as rude, urging respect for the performer.
Sara Haines questioned if Lambert’s reaction was warranted, considering the proximity of the fans to the stage. Sunny Hostin, quoted by Page Six, highlighted the VIP ticket price at $757, suggesting entitlement to selfies. Whoopi, triggered by Hostin, suggested those obsessed with selfies should “stay home.” In a surprising move, Whoopi walked toward the audience, taking a selfie, attempting to make a point. The incident stirred online discussions about concert etiquette and the balance between capturing moments and respecting performers.
