The second Whoopi Goldberg shouted, “GET HER OFF MY STAGE!” — it was already too late.

The second Whoopi Goldberg shouted, “GET HER OFF MY STAGE!” — it was already too late. Joan Baez had just turned The View into ground zero for live-television chaos, and every camera was rolling.
“YOU DON’T GET TO PREACH ABOUT FEMALE EMPOWERMENT WHILE YOUR SPONSORS EXPLOIT WOMEN IN FACTORIES!” she roared, slamming the table.

“I’VE BEEN SINGING ABOUT REAL STRUGGLE — YOU JUST SELL IT FOR RATINGS!”

Whoopi snapped back, “Joan, this isn’t your concert!”
“NO,” she fired, “IT’S YOUR SCRIPTED CIRCUS.”
The studio froze. Joy Behar tried to calm things down — Ana Navarro called her “unhinged.” Joan Baez didn’t flinch.
“UNHINGED? NO. JUST DONE WATCHING PEOPLE LIE ABOUT EMPOWERMENT.”

Then came the line that blew up social media:
“You can mute my mic — but you can’t mute the truth.”
She stood, tossed her mic onto the desk, and walked out.
By the time The View cut to commercial, #JoanBaezTruthBomb was already trending worldwide.
