In the midst of a heated argument regarding a recent controversy involving country music star Miranda Lambert, co-host Whoopi Goldberg stood up and left the \u201cThe View\u201d set to prove a point.<\/p>\n
On the ABC midday talk show, Goldberg and her co-hosts were discussing Lambert\u2019s choice to publicly chastise fans for taking selfies in the front row while she was performing at a concert.<\/p>\n
Lambert stopped her show to address some women taking selfies in the front row, saying, \u201cThese girls are worried about their selfies and not listening to the song. It\u2019s pissing me off a little bit. We\u2019re here to hear some country music tonight. And I\u2019m singing some country damn music.\u201d<\/p>\n
Co-host Sunny Hostin argued that she would not feel guilty about taking a few selfies to capture the moment if she had paid as much for front-row tickets as Lambert\u2019s fans had.<\/p>\n
\u201cTickets in the VIP section that they were in are $757,\u201d Hostin said. \u201cImma take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757. I\u2019m sorry. Just me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStay home,\u201d Goldberg took issue with Hostin\u2019s response and said that someone willing to pay that much for tickets should want to be there for the show. \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna spend $750,000 to \u2014 $750 to come to my concert, then give me the respect of watching me while I\u2019m doing my thing. Or don\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I wanna play it again,\u201d Hostin responded, explaining that she may want to take a picture or video with the music in the background and watch it again.<\/p>\n
Goldberg got up from her chair, saying, \u201cTurn on the television, girl,\u201d as she walked away from the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d co-host Joy Behar asked, and Hostin echoed the question.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m leaving y\u2019all,\u201d Goldberg responded, prompting laughter from the audience and co-hosts at the table. Goldberg did not appear seriously angered by the conversation but seemed to imply she was finished with the conversation.<\/p>\n
