Ana Navarro said, “Emotions are so raw. It’s overkill. I think people are loosing their minds. Right now social media is a rough, rough place to be. You can literally post a picture of puppies and there will be people attacking you.”

Ana added, “She shouldn’t have apologized…[but] don’t go on social media if you can’t take the heat because people are crazy.”

Sara Haines said, “People are calling for her to not be nominated for a Tony. This has gotten out of control.”

Sunny Hostin added, “Emotions are so raw…but I think this is just ridiculous.”

Ana then said, “Does this mean I can get tickets now for the show, because it was very sold out.”

Whoopi Goldberg shared, “And it’s still going to be very sold out. She’s brilliant in the show. She liked a hat. Relax. She liked a hat about Jesus. I would think that would be a unifying thing. It’s a hat. It’s just a hat.”
