Not long ago, a lively conversation on The View turned into a heated fight that ended with Whoopi Goldberg leaving the set in a scene. The argument was mostly about Miranda Lambert’s most recent show, in which she told fans they couldn’t take pictures during her performance. Some watchers agreed with Lambert, while others thought fans should be able to record memories of the event.
The debate caused a heated debate on The View, with Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin supporting the idea that concertgoers should be free to take shots and enjoy the show however they choose. Griffin said Lambert had been too harsh, and Hostin said people who bought VIP tickets for hundreds of dollars should be able to take selfies if they wanted to.
Not so for Whoopi Goldberg, who strongly backed Lambert and said that taking pictures at a live show was rude to both the artist and the other fans. That’s why she stressed that going to a live show wasn’t just about taking pictures; it was about being in the moment.
As the argument got heated, co-host Sara Haines tried to find a middle ground. She said that Lambert’s answer might have been appropriate, but she also said that fans close to the stage might get excited and want to take pictures. Still, Sunny Hostin didn’t like Lambert’s behavior and said that fans should be able to enjoy the show however they wanted.
The stress finally reached its peak when Whoopi Goldberg got up and walked off the set, shocking her co-hosts and the live studio audience. She did, however, take out her phone and take a funny selfie with some people in the crowd to make fun of the issue.
When Whoopi came back to the stage, the mood had changed, and everyone in the crowd started laughing out loud. Once again, the panel spoke in a happier tone, but the argument was still going strong. The controversy over Miranda Lambert’s concert led to a bigger conversation about how to behave at concerts and how fans should interact with celebrities.
Ultimately, Whoopi’s dramatic exit may have been an overreaction to a small problem, but it brought up a bigger issue that many concertgoers still think is important today. You know what Whoopi would say? Maybe it’s time to put down our phones and just enjoy the show.
