The Whoopi Goldberg War Room™ reached a critical breaking point amid its ongoing military operations when its commander fell victim to an agonizing discussion about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce on Thursday morning’s episode of The View.
After earlier in the episode breaking down matters of extreme governmental importance regarding Pete Hegseth’s national security scandal, the cohosts shifted gears to react to fallout from Affleck and Lopez’s divorce, after the famous couple reignited their romance before getting married in 2022 and subsequently separating before their 2025 divorce.
Joy Behar observed that “people grow apart” when it comes to romance, while Sunny Hostin observed that “this was supposed to be true love between Ben and J.Lo” — a statement that sent her cohosts into a frenzy and dealt a near-fatal blow to the War Room™’s defenses.
“No, you said it was true love,” Goldberg clapped back. “You’re the only one who believed that!”
Hostin, the show’s legal expert who previously expressed hope for Affleck and Lopez’s short-lived, rekindled romance, doubled down on her prior assessment.
“I think maybe it was true love,” she said. “And then just something happened.”

Behar, unamused, responded, “Oh, please,” all while Goldberg’s head slowly lowered to the table in protest over the topic that appeared to drain her life force.
Just before her head reached the Hot Topics table, Sara Haines reached over to help her colleague regain composure, while the Ghost actress enthusiastically hit her iconic bell to signal for further help in detonating the conversation before things moved on.

Thankfully, mere seconds later, Goldberg and the crew were able to salvage her sanity with a life-saving commercial break.
Earlier this week, Affleck opened up about his divorce from Lopez in an interview with GQ. “There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,” Affleck told the publication. “The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, there is no: ‘This is what happened.’ It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”
