An intense discussion on ABC’s “The View” was sparked by a viral video showing Miranda Lambert reprimanding fans who were taking selfies during her Las Vegas concert. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg had a heated disagreement regarding the incident. Sunny passionately defended concertgoers’ freedom to capture their own experiences, stating, “When I’ve invested $757 in tickets, I fully intend to capture as many personal moments as I desire.” In her response, Whoopi stressed the importance of respect, expressing her desire for people to watch her perform without distractions.
The controversy started when Lambert interrupted her concert, expressing her frustration with fans who were taking selfies. Whoopi, showing her support for the singer, quickly got up from her seat and said to Sunny, “You need to turn on the television, girl.” The surprising turn of events, in which Whoopi snapped a photo with a member of the audience, injected a touch of humor into the debate, resulting in laughter and a brief pause for commercials.
In the face of criticism, certain supporters stood up for Lambert. One attendee, Lindsey, shared her firsthand experience, stating, “Team @mirandalambert, she doesn’t owe anyone an apology.” Witnessed it firsthand.
