Sara Haines added that the fans were close to the stage, but questioned if Lambert’s reaction was justified. Sunny Hostin took a strong stance, criticizing Lambert and highlighting the high cost of VIP tickets, adding, “If I paid $757, I’m taking as many selfies as I want.”
As the debate intensified, Whoopi suggested that people who can’t stop taking photos should “stay home.” When Hostin defended her position, Whoopi playfully walked into the live audience and took a selfie herself to drive her point home.
Whoopi’s walk-off was a humorous gesture rather than a true exit from the show, but the exchange stirred up conversation online, with viewers still divided over the selfie controversy.
