Whoopi Goldberg stops ‘The View’ over Miranda Lambert debate

Whoopi Goldberg started “Actin’ Up” when Miranda Lambert’s recent controversy arose Tuesday on “The View.”

The daytime show’s panelists were discussing the 39-year-old country singer scolding fans taking selfies during her Las Vegas residency show — when Goldberg had a showstopping moment of her own.

“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” Lambert said to her pianist Saturday, according to a TikTok posted the following day. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.

“It’s pissing me off a little bit,” continued the songstress, who had been partway through an acoustic performance of “Tin Man.” “Sorry, I don’t like it. At all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”

“View” co-host Sunny Hostin, 54, sided with the concertgoers Tuesday, arguing that she’s “going to take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757 for tickets.”

But Goldberg, 67, was clearly bothered by the support for the fans.

“You know what? Stay home,” Goldberg snapped. “If you’re going to spend $750 to come to my concert, then give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don’t come.”

Hostin defended herself by saying that she enjoys looking back on memories from concerts, prompting Goldberg to urge her to “turn on the television, girl.”

Goldberg then rose from her chair at “The View” desk and walked toward the audience while declaring: “I’m leaving y’all!”

The EGOT winner decided to do a mid-show selfie of her own.

“I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman, who is 91. So, we’re going to do a selfie. Just me and you,” Goldberg said to an audience member. “Will you push that button? We’ll be right back.”

“The View” hosts appeared to have been teasing in good fun, but several Lambert fans said they were upset by the three-time Grammy winner’s handling of the situation.

The fan who was taking selfies at Lambert’s show, Adela Calin, told NBC News that she felt like she was “back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.”

“I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain,” she continued. “But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

Calin added that the selfie lasted “30 seconds at most.”
