US TV chat show host Whoopi Goldberg walked off The View over the Tiger Woods scandal story.
The female panel who host the daytime programme every day – Whoopi, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters – got into a heated discussion about Tiger Woods and his alleged affairs.
When Whoopi claimed she didn’t care about the stories, Walters told her she should: ‘Go home then’, so an angry Whoopi jumped up and stormed off.
The incident started when the women began talking about whether Tiger should lose his endorsements over the recent scandal. Whoopi had remained silent and when questioned, said: “Whether they get back together or not, is not going to put any food on my table.
“Whether they come…. Whether he, things, his endorsements get gone, is not going to make sure that my child is doing all the stuff that she is supposed to be doing.”
But Walters told her: “But we should discuss it and if you don’t want to you might as well go home.”
Whoopi hit back with: “All right then,” and got out of her chair and walked off before Walters went: “Don’t you dare.”
Whoopi reluctantly returned to her seat and said: “My point is that for me, one of those subjects where people demand that you live up to their expectations is outrageous.”
Hasselbeck cut in: “Cheating isn’t illegal is it the last time I looked?”
And Whoopi added: “That’s what’s making me mad.”
