Whoopi Goldberg stormed off the stage of “The View” to tell off an audience member for filming it on his phone.


The outspoken Jumpin’ Jack Flash actor confronted the fan during the shooting of the March 26 episode of the talk show. The incident started as Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed former U.S. president Donald Trump getting his fraud case bond reduced.


As co-host Sunny Hostin chatted about the news story, Goldberg told her to “hold on a second” before standing up and walking to the edge of the stage.

“Sir, I have to stop you with the camera because I can see you. So do me a favor, don’t pull it out again. I’d appreciate that, thank you,” the EGOT winner was seen saying to an audience member.


The audience stayed quiet in shock for a few moments before they broke into applause for Goldberg’s face-off.

Members of the in-studio audience watching the hit ABC show are barred from taking pictures or recording videos while it’s being shot and are only allowed to snap images at certain times when filming isn’t happening.

Goldberg — who is renowned for leaving the stage of “The View” if topics don’t interest her — got irked again during Tuesday’s shoot when producers wanted to cut her off.

They had wanted Hostin to read out loud a legal notice about Trump denying all accusations against him and saying he had said he was not guilty on “all 88 charges” against him.

“I’m gonna get to her, my God! Guys, I am going to get to her. May I finish my point or do you want me to just jump now?” Whoopi told a producer who was off-camera about Hostin.

“Whoopi is not in the mood today for your shenanigans!” Co-host Joy Behar joked.

“I’m not, I’m not,” the Ghost star agreed. “I’m trying to do everything everybody wants, but you know, never mind. Go ahead, Sunny.”

“No kidding,” Hostin said then took over and informed viewers she had a “legal notice,” which prompted Goldberg to sneer.
