Was it a medical scare? A dramatic stunt? Or something else entirely? As camera angles quickly shifted and producers scrambled, viewers were left shocked and asking the same question — what just happened?

Whoopi Goldberg weathered an onslaught of shocking topics on The View.
The actress first feigned collapsing after Joy Behar made a joke about Sean Combs.
She then stood up from the table to shout over a discussion about Victoria Beckham.

The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg once again put her Oscar-winning acting skills to good use during a particularly wild day of Hot Topics.

Continuing a recent pattern of face-to-furniture collisions on the talk show, the 69-year-old’s head made a momentous journey plummeting toward the program’s storied table at the top of Tuesday’s live broadcast, after panelist Joy Behar made a shocking joke about Sean Combs.

As the cohosts discussed the rapper’s trial and speculation over whether or not Donald Trump might step in to provide a presidential pardon for the celebrity, Behar, 82, quipped, “They should do a show called Who’s Your Diddy?”

Moments later, Goldberg’s head was on the Hot Topics table as the audience laughed and applauded.

Not to be outdone by… uh… herself, Goldberg amped up the theatrics moments later during a separate Hot Topic about reported familial drama involving Victoria Beckham, her son, Brooklyn Beckham, and the latter’s wife, actress Nicola Peltz.

Amid the conversation, 47-year-old panelist Sara Haines explained a recent claim that tensions arose at the April 2022 wedding of Brooklyn and Peltz, where Haines explained unconfirmed speculation from an anonymous source that indicated singer Marc Anthony “performed a song and then asked for the most beautiful woman in the room, but it wasn’t the bride,” but rather the mother of the groom. (Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Anthony and Victoria for comment.)

“What! Oh my God!” Goldberg said, pushing herself up from her chair to shout over the Hot Topic.

“Marc Anthony, what’s wrong with you!?” Goldberg said. “I get it, why you said that, but, oh my God, we have to go to break, it’s so freaky!”
