U.S. TV chat show host Whoopi Goldberg walked off The View over the Tiger Woods scandal story.
The female panel who host The View every day - Whoopi, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, Elizabeth Hassleback and Barbara Walters - got into a heated discussion about Tiger Woods and his alleged affairs.
After Whoopi claimed she didn't care about the stories, Walters told her she should: 'Go home then,' so an angry Whoopi jumped up from the table and stormed off before Walters told her to come back.
Whoopi Goldberg said she wasn't interested in discussing the Tiger Woods scandal on U.S. show The View yesterday
The incident started when the women began talking about whether Tiger should lose his endorsements over the recent scandal.
Whoopi had remained completely silent during the exchange until Walters asked her: 'Whoopi what is going through your mind?'
As the crowd cheered Whoopi replied: 'I am bored out of my mind.' Walters then interrupted her as she pointed her finger, saying: 'You brought it up, you brought it up'.
Whoopi then told her: 'I brought it up because it something that we all decided we should talk about about.
She then walked out after fellow host Barbara Walters (far right) jokingly told her to go home, saying it was an important issue
'But here is my absolute honest opinion. Whether they get back together or not, is not going to put any food on my table.
'Whether they come.... Whether he, things, his endorsements get gone, is not going to make sure that my child is doing all the stuff that she is supposed to be doing.'
But Walters then told her: 'But we should discuss it and if you don't want to you might as well go home.'
Whoopi hit back with: 'Alright then,' and got out of her chair and walked off before Walters went: 'Don't you dare.'
Whoopi reluctantly returned to her seat and went: 'My point is that for me, one of those subjects where people demand that you live up to their expectations is outrageous.
'And when you are talking about someone who is a role model, you want to emulate him, you want to be as good a golfer as him, you want to be as good as him on the green, on the course, ok, I understand that you want to follow that, but you cannot, there are too many human beings out here, that are looking at us, saying : 'I want you to be like this because I want to be like you'.
But if Tiger had this happen and everything turns out to be ok, and then somebody else tries it and it isn't ok, is it Tiger's fault because that person held him up as a role model?
Hassleback then cut in: 'Cheating isn't illegal is it the last time I looked?' And Whoopi added: 'That's what's making me mad.'
