Sara Haines noted that the fans were close to the stage, but questioned if Lambert’s reaction was warranted. Sunny Hostin criticized Lambert, citing the high cost of VIP tickets, saying, “I’m gonna take as many selfies as I want if I paid $757.”
Things escalated when Whoopi suggested people should “stay home” if they can’t stop taking photos of themselves. Sunny Hostin defended her position, leading Whoopi to walk towards the live audience, taking a selfie to make her point.
Whoopi’s exit was a playful response to the debate, not a genuine departure from the show. The incident sparked a buzz online, but the audience’s verdict on the selfie debate remains divided.
