Whoopi Goldberg shut down yet another segment on The View when she and her co-hosts found themselves divided over a landmark court case from Turkey.
Goldberg could not hide her skepticism as she shared the segment topic during Tuesday’s (Dec. 9) broadcast. “Hitting like on sexy social media photos may get you in trouble with your significant other and now it can even be used against you in court,” she explained. “A landmark ruling, a Turkish court decided that liking other women’s social media posts can be used as evidence in divorce proceedings. The case found that a man undermined marital trust by repeatedly liking other women’s photos online. What do you think of this ruling? Is this grounds for divorce?”
Sunny Hostin, who has been open about her unique views on marriage and dating on the show, was the first to chime in. “I like this ruling a lot,” she said, adding, “I think it needs to maybe be reviewed here in the United States.”
When she then questioned why a married person would be “liking” other people’s photos on social media, Sara Haines joked, “‘Cause I’m married, not blind!”
Goldberg began explaining the “problem” she has with the case and questioned why they were even discussing it on the show at all.
“What happens if you like a Santa sweater and you hit like and it’s being worn by a man? Then I can take you to court too,” she pointed out.
But Goldberg could not resist sharing how she really felt about the case. “This is like a really dumb thing. And why we’re discussing it when it doesn’t happen here in the United States, I don’t understand,” she said.
Haines, on the other hand, added that she’s “really loose with my fire emoji” on social media, which means she could run into some trouble if a similar ruling was made in the United States.
“I’ve never looked at what [my husband] Max likes. He’s never looked at what I liked,” she said.
