00:01 Turn on the television, girl.

00:05 Whoopi Goldberg is letting her stance be known.
00:09 The veteran TV host doesn't hold back during the July 18 episode of "The View" when discussing
00:15 the Miranda Lambert concert drama "Aerislab."
00:18 "If they paid money for the tickets, they came to see her.
00:22 So if she's singing, at least a little respect so that knowledge you can see her, she can
00:28 see you too."
00:29 In case you missed it, Miranda briefly paused her Las Vegas show on July 15 to call out
00:34 a group of concertgoers for taking photos during her performance.
00:39 As seen in videos circulating online, the singer told the audience, "These girls are
00:44 worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.
00:47 It's pissing me off a little bit."
00:49 A move "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin thinks was unwarranted.
00:53 "The expensive tickets in the VIP section that they were in are $757.
00:59 I'm going to take as many selfies as I want if I pay $757.
01:06 I'm sorry, just me."
01:09 Whoopi, on the other hand, wasn't having it.
01:11 Her response?
01:12 A dramatic exit.
01:13 "Maybe I want the picture and I want the music in the background.
01:18 I'll relive it."
01:19 "Turn on the television, girl."
01:20 "Where are you going?"
01:21 "I'm going to the concert."
01:22 "I'm going to the concert."
01:23 "Where are you going?"
01:24 "I'm leaving y'all.
01:25 Because I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman."
01:32 And while the actress was only joking, there's at least one person who isn't laughing at
01:37 the whole situation.
01:39 Adela Kalin, one of the fans who was scolded, told NBC News on July 17th that she was quote
01:45 "appalled" by Miranda's comment.
01:48 The 43-year-old continued, "It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding
01:52 me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.
01:57 I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain,
02:01 but we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture."
02:06 She then added that she and her friends tried to take a group photo before the show, but
02:10 they quote "couldn't get one good picture due to the lighting."
02:14 She recalled, "We were so excited because I think we had the best seats in the house
02:18 and the whole theater."
02:24 "I think we had the best seats in the house and the whole theater."
