Whoopi Goldberg interrupted the US talk show The View on Tuesday afternoon after an audience member left her frustrated by breaking one of the set's strictest rules.
Goldberg was joined by Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin where they discussed former president Donald Trump’s ongoing legal issues.
However, as Hostin was explaining what she thought on the matter, Goldberg stopped her train of thought and addressed a man sitting in the stands at the live ABC News show.
Getting up from her seat, she quipped: “Hold on a second, hold on. Sir, I have to stop you with the camera, cause I can see you. So do me a favour, don’t pull it out again.”
The man in question was not seen but could be heard responding to Goldberg, though his dialogue was intelligible to audiences watching at home.
After their brief interaction, it seemed Goldberg was pleased with his response and sat back in her chair: “I appreciate that. Thank you.”
Whoopi was left irritated by the distraction

Goldberg’s co-hosts were unaware of the audience member filming them, leaving Behar to ask: “What was he doing?
“Recording," Haines jumped in. Audience members for The View are told during the pre-show that they’re not allowed to take pictures or record videos during the entirety of the taping of the shows.
It seemed that Goldberg wasn’t in the best of moods during Tuesday’s show as she also pushed back one of the off-camera producer's requests.
Noticing the defiance in her co-star, Behar teased: “Whoopi is not in the mood today for your shenanigans!”
Alyssa said she felt remorseful for the comments she made against Kate Middleton

Goldberg’s attitude comes after Hostin, Haines and Griffin all felt “remorseful” for getting involved in the conspiracy theories surrounding Princess Kate’s whereabouts.
Last Friday, Kate Middleton announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer in a heartfelt statement – weeks after many became concerned for her wellbeing.
Goldberg refused to partake in the theories that her co-stars were coming up with, but they have since admitted they were wrong for doing so.
Griffin admitted: “I’m guilty of having gotten into the fun of ‘Where's Kate?’ and sort of thinking it's funny and sharing the memes and playing into that.

Whoopi Goldberg was forced to interrupt the show

“I forgot something fundamental, that we all know, which is every person, whether they're a princess, somebody in a high-privileged position, or just the person next to you, is dealing with personal struggles that we don't know about.
“I send my love to her and strength to her because, sure, the palace totally mishandled the PR of this, but the public mishandled it.
“We didn't give her an ounce - not we, you did, a lot of other people did, but I didn't think, ‘There's something more serious here that she's dealing with,’ and I feel awful over it.
“And it's just a reminder because all of us, being to a lesser degree but in the public eye, we see the cruelty and casual meanness and as a society, we're so quick to jump to that and join the bandwagon and think it's fun and forget these are actual human beings who are going through something.”
