More drama happened on an episode of ‘The View’ when co-host Whoopi Goldberg walked off the stage during a live show. This happened when singer Miranda Lambert was fed up at one of her concerts because fans were taking selfies, so Whoopi tried to imitate it in the face of critics. Unfortunately, many of those critics wished ‘The View’ was taken off the air, but it’s not and Whoopi is not off the show either. Despite Whoopi walking off the stage and saying “I’m leaving, y’all” – the show is very much on and Whoopi is still a host.
An entertainment commentary article on The American Tribune added more context to the Whoopi Goldberg walks off story:
For background, Miranda Lambert was in the debate spotlight after stopping her show just to yell at some fans who wanted selfies of their concert experience. Tickets for Miranda Lambert were probably more than just a few bucks and it’s not uncommon for people to take photos at concerts to share on social media or keep for memories. The co-hosts of ‘The View’ were debating the situation with Miranda Lambert and if she should have stopped the show to yell at people, or if people should be taking selfies at shows, etc. It was a clouded mess of opinions that got Whoopi to stand up and walk towards the audience and say “I’m leaving y’all.”
