During a Hot Topics segment on The View, the co-hosts shifted from discussing Pete Hegseth’s national security scandal to the high-profile split between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Although the conversation started light, tensions flared when Sunny Hostin insisted that the couple’s rekindled romance was “supposed to be true love”—despite their recent divorce.

Goldberg, visibly exasperated, fired back, saying, “No, you said it was true love. You’re the only one who believed that!” Hostin argued, “Maybe it was true love, and then just something happened.”

At that point, Whoopi Goldberg slowly lowered her head onto the table in what seemed like mock exhaustion, aka she collapsed jokingly. Sara Haines quickly reached over to comfort her, while Goldberg herself jokingly rang her iconic bell—a signal for the conversation to end. Moments later, the show cut to a commercial break. 

The debate centered on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s whirlwind romance. The relationship, which was reignited in 2021, led to a 2022 wedding. However, it ultimately ended in divorce by 2025. Joy Behar took a pragmatic stance, stating, “People grow apart.” On the other hand, Hostin remained sentimental about their relationship. Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg, however, seemed drained by the topic, leading to her eventual collapse.

The moment instantly became a meme, with fans praising Goldberg’s relatable frustration. Many agreed that after covering heavy political topics, debating Lopez and Affleck’s love life felt trivial. Others found humor in Goldberg’s dramatic response.
