After vocalist Miranda Lambert interrupted one of her not so far concerts to scold music fans for taking photographs during the show, Whoopi Goldberg shocked viewers of ‘The View’ when the co-host walked off the stage during a live program this week.
Even though numerous detractors had hoped otherwise, Whoopi Goldberg was only joking as she went offstage.
Videos of Whoopi Goldberg’s departure from ‘The View’ went viral as the co-hosts debated the subject with Miranda Lambert, and the whole stuff left many detractors hoping for a nuanced moment or two.
Background: Miranda Lambert was at the center of the talk after she halted her performance to shout at several fans who wanted to take selfies during the show.
Those Miranda Lambert concert tickets surely weren’t cheap, and concertgoers often take pictures to post online or retain as mementos.
The co-hosts of ‘The View’ discussed whether Miranda Lambert should have paused the performance to yell at the audience, whether or not concertgoers should take images, and so on.
Whoopi stood up and walked toward the audience as a jumble of conflicting viewpoints prompted her to announce, “I’m leaving y’all.”
When discussing Miranda Lambert’s contentious position, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to appeal to all sides of the argument.
Griffin argued that Lambert shouldn’t shame fans who paid money to watch her perform, especially if they’re just snapping images and aren’t disrupting the show.
This is where Whoopi Goldberg chimes in, stating the fans are impolite for taking photos. Whoopi remarked, “They paid money for the tickets, they came to see her, so she’s singing. [Give] at least a little respect … acknowledge that you can see her [and] she can see you too.” The audience members who Miranda Lambert yelled at for taking a photo were, as another host, Sara Haines, pointed out, very close to the stage. However, was it necessary for the known vocalist to yell at them, halt the performance, and cause a scene?
