THE VIEW host Whoopi Goldberg has ripped into her co-host Sunny Hostin for “stealing her moment” during a live TV moment.
Whoopi tried to ask guest Reese Witherspoon a question, but Sunny Hostin jumped in and asked another question before she could finish.

On Wednesday’s show, Reese appeared as a guest to promote her new book, Busy Betty.
She also talked about starting her own production company.
Whoopi, however, is a big fan of her books, so she asked her a question that was not entirely clear.
“The fact that many of these (her movies) come from books. I mean I fell in love with several books that you recommended on Audible because I love being able to listen to them,” she said.
“What is it about books that people need to know and remember?”
Reese started to answer, when Sunny interrupted her.
“Like how do you make those decisions? Like I just read this book-,” The View co-host said before Whoopi spoke up.
“Did you hear me just ask that question?” she ripped her co-host.

“I did. I’m fascinated by it,” Sunny smiled and winked at Reese.
The actress just laughed as Whoopi picked up her laser pointer and shined it at Sunny.
“Hey you. Quit it!” Whoopi warned before laughing.
Reese was then able to answer Whoopi’s original question.
SUNNY CLARIFIES
After Reese gave her answer, Sunny apologized to Whoopi and clarified what she was trying to ask.
“I didn’t mean to jump on Whoopi’s question. I guess my question was more like… you did Where The Crawdads Sing,” she said.
“Yes,” Reese replied.
“I thought it was fabulous,” Sunny told her, to which Reese thanked her.
“My husband read the book and wanted to see the movie. You read a book and then go, ‘That’s a book that should be a movie.’ How do you do that?”
Reese basically answered that it is “skill stacking” and takes years of reading scripts and finding out what fans like.
Ana Navarro tried to talk, but Sunny also interrupted her.
‘WHOOPI IS ANNOYED!’
Fans took to Twitter to react to the interaction and most of them were on Whoopi’s side.
“I can tell Whoopi is annoyed with Sunny today #TheView,” tweeted one fan with a laughing emoji.
“‘Did you not hear me just ask that question? #TheView'” another Twitter user wrote with a laughing emoji.
A third said: “Sunny couldn’t remember the points: 1st children’s book, encouraging entrepreneurship Had to read it off a card. These interviews are so awkward and impersonal. You get one question: memorize it. #TheView @TheView.”
“So glad to see Whoopi knock @sunny off her high horse today. She is getting unbearable to watch #TheView,” tweeted one View fan.
However, not every watcher has agreed with Whoopi’s actions on the show.
She recently pretended to fall asleep during many discussions she found boring and fans have called for her to leave the show.
