During the live airing of the View, Whoopi Goldberg paused the show to confront a member of the audience.
On the latest episode of the ABC show, the panel – including Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Alyssa Farah Griffin – began with a discussion about Donald Trump.
However, the Ghost actress was distracted by something off camera, and she quickly got up to handle the issue. ‘Wait a second, hold on,’ the 68-year-old said while walking towards someone in the audience.
‘Sir, I need to stop you from using the camera, because I can see you,’ she cautioned.
‘So please don't pull it out again. I would appreciate that. Thank you.’

‘Recording,’ Sara answered as the Oscar-winner rejoined the panel and signaled for the discussion to continue.
According to People Magazine, audience members are informed before the show that they are not allowed to record anything during the taping.

Just moments after sitting down, she turned to a group of women nearby and asked one of them: ‘Did you really call me an old broad?’
Her co-stars couldn’t help but find the interaction funny, and the rest of the audience laughed along.

Sunny saw the positivity in the situation and suggested that being called an ‘old broad’ is preferable to ‘the alternative’.
‘The alternative is not appealing to any of us,’ Whoopi chuckled. ‘We all want to be old broads and old dudes.’
Never, ever cross Whoopi.
She was not having any of it.
