Whoopi Goldberg is in the headlines again for once again walking off the stage during the filming of the latest episode of The View. The Academy Award winner was involved in a similar incident in 2023, although for completely different reasons. But what prompted Whoopi Goldberg to leave the stage of The View in between proceedings?
Here are all the available details regarding Goldberg’s The View walk-offs in 2023 and 2024.
Why did Whoopi Goldberg leave The View stage in 2023 & 2024?
In 2024, the veteran actress was forced to abandon the panel mid-way to confront an audience member who was supposedly filming snippets of the discussion. Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg did so jokingly in 2023 during an argument regarding Miranda Lambert’s antics.
In the latest episode of The View, the panel discussed Donald Trump and his latest controversies. As Sunny Hostin attempted to make a point, Goldberg interrupted her and proceeded to walk off the stage. As reported by Page Six, she reprimanded an audience member who was apparently filming the episode. According to the ABC show’s policies, live viewers are not allowed to take pictures during filming. Consequently, Whoopi Goldberg took it upon herself to correct this anomaly, resulting in her walking off The View stage.
She got agitated again towards the episode’s conclusion and snapped back at a producer for cutting her off. The incident happened when Hostin was supposed to read a legal notice that confirmed Donald Trump’s not-guilty plea in his fraud case.
A similar event involving Goldberg also occurred in 2023. Per Page Six, during a regular episode, a discussion was held about Miranda Lambert, who had controversially criticized some fans as they were taking selfies during one of her concerts. Whoopi Goldberg echoed Lambert’s thoughts and stated that fans ought to show respect while an artist is performing live. However, Sunny Hostin was of the opposing notion and considered Lambert to be in the wrong. To prove her point, Whoopi Goldberg abruptly got up and proceeded to take a selfie with a 91-year-old audience member.
