A little bit into Thursday’s episode of The View, Whoopi started up a discussion on a new viral story about a man who wrote a controversial social media post about his fiancée.
The groom wrote: “Not the most beautiful woman, neither are you the most intelligent woman, but I’ve chosen never to find perfection in anyone else.”
The man later added in clarification: “It may not sound like a compliment, but it’s a realistic base for love.”
Whoopi was quick to say that she understands where he’s coming from, explaining for him that he loves his bride, despite any of her perceived flaws.

“I didn’t think it was a bad thing that he said,” the moderator added.
Sunny had the complete opposite reaction to the controversial comment.
“I worry about this guy,” she said. “I hate him. But I worry about this guy for this woman.”
Sunny explained: “I wouldn’t marry him after saying all that.

"But when they get older, what is he gonna do, ‘Oh babe, you look a little fat today. ‘Oh babe, that was really stupid that you said that.’
“I don’t like that. Your partner should lie to you.”
To that, Whoopi vehemently rejected that notion, yelling in reply: “No! They should not lie to you. Oh my God!”
Sunny just kept going, though, saying a partner should tell each other: “You’re the most beautiful, the most special.”
This shocked Whoopi, and she continued to be against it, saying as she looking up toward the ceiling: “Oh my God! Please God, strike me now.”
Sara Haines started to agree with Whoopi, saying: “What I think he’s saying is, ‘To expect perfection is to be disappointed.’ And I loved what he said.
“I hope his proposal was a little more romantic, but this in itself I understood where he was going.”
Sunny simply shot her a pursed-lip look as she disagreed with where Sara and Whoopi were coming from.
The View fans were divided on whose side to take in the hosts’ heated debate.
One viewer sarcastically tweeted to the moderator: “OMG. Whoopi. We know. You the relationship expert over Sunny.”
Another took the lawyer’s side, writing: “I am gonna agree with Sonny! 3X Married Whoopi!
“No derogatory comments made to a woman.”
A third wrote: “I’m with @sunny! As the song goes ‘Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.’”
Some though, went with the other side, with one writing: “I’m with Whoopi and Sara. Tell me the damn truth.”
A second tweeted: “He may not have said it artfully, but I would much rather have a man who is not looking for perfection and loves me for who I am, than a man constantly disappointed because I am not perfect.”
A third agreed, warning: “To the ladies who want to be lied to, don’t forget little lies turn into big ones later.”
