A fiery debate unfolded on ABC’s “The View” following a viral video of country star Miranda Lambert criticizing fans for taking selfies during her Las Vegas concert. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg found themselves on opposing sides.
Sunny defended the right of concertgoers to take selfies, emphasizing that if she paid $757 for tickets, she would take as many photos as she wanted. In contrast, Whoopi passionately advocated for respect toward performers, urging attendees to watch the show without distractions.
Whoopi took her stance to the extreme by abruptly leaving her seat and heading toward the audience, emphasizing that if fans spend a significant amount on tickets, they should show respect to the performer. She playfully addressed Sunny’s preference for preserving memories through photos, suggesting, “Turn on the television, girl.”
In an unexpected twist, Whoopi approached a 91-year-old woman in the audience, intending to take a selfie. The humorous moment added a jovial note to the debate, leading to laughter and serving as a segue into a commercial break.
