The controversy began when Lambert interrupted her concert, expressing frustration with selfie-taking fans. Whoopi, supporting the singer, abruptly left her seat, telling Sunny, “Turn on the television, girl.” The unexpected twist, where Whoopi took a selfie with an audience member, added humor to the debate, leading to laughter and a commercial break.

Despite backlash, some fans defended Lambert. One attendee, Lindsey, shared firsthand experience, saying, “Team @mirandalambert she owes no one an apology. Saw it all first hand.”
