A heated debate erupted on ABC’s The View after a viral video showed Miranda Lambert scolding fans for taking selfies during her Las Vegas concert. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg clashed over the issue, with Sunny defending the fans’ right to capture the moment. “If I paid $757 for tickets, I’m going to take as many selfies as I want,” she argued.
Whoopi, on the other hand, stressed the importance of respect for performers. “Give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don’t come,” she countered. The discussion took an unexpected turn when Whoopi stood up and told Sunny, “Turn on the television, girl,” before playfully taking a selfie with an audience member, adding humor to the debate and prompting laughter before a commercial break.
While Lambert faced criticism for calling out the concertgoers, some fans stood by her. One attendee, Lindsey, defended the singer, saying, “Team @mirandalambert—she owes no one an apology. Saw it all firsthand.”
