Whoopi Goldberg Jumps Out Of Her Seat And Walks Off ‘The View’
On the other hand, Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to find some middle ground in the argument, saying that Lambert shouldn’t be calling anyone out who paid good money to come see her concert.
After saying that, Whoopi Goldberg said that the fans were rude for taking selfies. She said: “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.”
Sara Haines, who was another host on the show said that the fans who were scolded by Lambert were sitting close to the stage. Just because they were sitting close didn’t mean that she should be yelling at them and stopping the show to cause a scene.
The price of the VIP tickets for the Miranda Lambert show were very expensive. According to one quote: “The expensive tickets in the VIP section that they were in are $757. I’m gonna take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757, I’m sorry, just me.”
Sunny Hostin is the one who really got Whoopi Goldberg going by suggesting that people should stay home if they can’t stop taking pictures of themselves. Goldberg implied that the fan should focus on the performer, but that wasn’t a very popular argument.
