'Stop it!' Whoopi Goldberg interrupts 'The View' live segment, raises her voice and hits co-host
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of ABC's infamous show 'The View', Whoopi Goldberg was introducing the ladies in the live segment when she was interrupted. Before Whoopi introduced the following issue, a wide shot of the panel was displayed, and Sara Haines leaned over to speak to Joy Behar. Goldberg said, "Welcome back," but then sighed as her co-hosts carried on before she actually lost it.
Whoopi's outburst might not have been out of the ordinary since this wasn't the first time she lost her temper in front of national television. Whoopi, 67, had earlier slammed her 'The View' co-hosts while talking about former President Donald Trump's win in the 2016 presidential elections. Want to know what happened? Read below to know.

'Stop it!' shouted Whoopi as she hit Sara's arm
While introducing the panel to a new segment where the panelist would talk about rather serious political issues concerning the everyday American citizen, Whoopi lost it when some of her co-hosts were talking over her. Viewers could see panelists Sara Haines leaning over to speak to Joy Behar while not maintaining proper decorum during the discussion which didn't sit well with the moderator. As Whoopi introduced the topic at hand, she said "On the heels of the outrage of the two Black Tennessee lawmakers being temporarily expelled, Republican legislators-."
Sara was then struck on the arm by Whoopi, who then yelled, "Stop it!" The other hosts could be heard chuckling in the background as the moderator completed her sentence. Sara and Joy seemed to have quieted down and joined in the debate as the subject became more serious.
Whoopi's earlier outbursts
Whoopi demanded her co-hosts hold on during her rant on Wednesday's show as they kept interrupting her. The hosts discussed financial equality in relationships during their discussion. "If it's about equality, it shouldn't matter about how much I make or how much you make," Whoopi said.
Sara started to speak, but Whoopi quickly cut her off. Whoopi chimed in, "OK, hold on, hold on." She also urged Joy to "hold on" earlier in the program after enquiring as to whether any audience members had been "missing" somebody. Whoopi had to twice encourage Sara to hold on throughout their heated discussion, which was extremely fierce. Sara kept talking in each case, while Joy had been content to let Whoopi air her views. But after the little argument, the hosts carried on with the broadcast as scheduled.
On Tuesday's edition of The View, Whoopi disciplined her co-anchors for talking over her during a discussion of politics. Whoopi, 67, revealed to the other moderators of the morning show how she had predicted that 76-year-old former President Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. "When I saw that woman say on television: 'well you know I've seen what he does with people... he doesn't like and he can fire 'em, and I see how nice his office is... I'll know he'll do a good job for us.' "When I saw that, I thought: 'OK, you don't know this isn't real'," Whoopi concluded.
"People believed The Apprentice to be real," Sunny interjected, and Joy agreed by responding "yeah" before Whoopi could add the information on her own. When Whoopi was interrupted again, she made another attempt to finish her sentence, but Sunny kept talking over her. She was so frustrated that she finally asked the show's producers if they wanted her to finish her statement.
