Candace Owens Boots Whoopi Goldberg Off The View Set, Says ‘I Can’t Tolerate Her for Another Minute!’
According to insiders, tensions had been brewing since the moment Owens was announced as a guest. Known for her unapologetic viewpoints, Owens has never been one to shy away from controversy, and that day was no exception. Sparks flew from the get-go, with Whoopi and Owens going head-to-head on a range of hot-button topics—from politics to culture to personal jabs that escalated beyond the usual daytime talk show banter.
It all started when Owens criticized The View for what she called its “echo chamber of liberal nonsense.” The audience let out a collective gasp, but Whoopi, a seasoned moderator of chaos, smirked and leaned in. “Sweetheart, we let people talk here. You should try it sometime.” The crowd cheered, assuming Whoopi had delivered the knockout punch.
But Owens was just getting warmed up.
The conversation took a sharp turn when Whoopi brought up Owens’ past comments on race, suggesting that her views were out of touch with reality. That’s when Owens, with her signature icy composure, snapped, “What’s out of touch is a room full of elites pretending to care about the average American while pushing a narrative that keeps them dependent.” The room fell silent.
Whoopi, never one to back down, started to retort, but Owens—perhaps emboldened by the stunned silence—stood up, pointed towards the exit, and said, “You know what? I’ve had enough. If you’re going to keep gaslighting, you can gaslight somewhere else. I can’t stand her for even a minute!” The audacity! The drama! The live audience gasped as Whoopi, momentarily at a loss for words, let out an exasperated laugh.
Co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin sat frozen, unsure whether to intervene or let the showdown play out. Security was called, but before they could reach the stage, Whoopi took matters into her own hands. She stood up, adjusted her glasses, and walked off—perhaps out of sheer disbelief rather than submission.
Social media erupted within minutes. Clips of the encounter flooded Twitter, with hashtags like #CandaceVsWhoopi and #TheViewMeltdown trending worldwide. Some viewers praised Owens for “speaking truth to power,” while others condemned her for “disrespecting an icon.” Regardless of where one stood, the verdict was clear: The View had just delivered its most explosive episode in years.
Whether this was a one-time meltdown or the beginning of a new era of no-holds-barred TV, one thing’s for sure—daytime television just got a whole lot more interesting.
