WARNING: This post contains spoilers to Game of Thrones.
Meghan McCainis suffering the “wrath” from manyGame of Thronesfans after she spoiled the series finale’s ending.
During Monday’s episode ofThe View, the hosts got talking about themedieval fantasy series’final episode, which aired the night before.
However, McCain, 34, had no hesitations when it came to expressing her thoughts about the episode — which many, including co-hostSunni Hostin, were not happy about.
“I’m so sorry for the #GOT spoilers on the show today! I assumed every diehard fan had watched! My bad,” shewrote, before giving her followers who hadn’t watched the talk show yet a heads up. “Don’t watch west coast if you don’t want a spoiler.”
“Apparently, we’re at the end of a giant era of pop culture. It came to close last night with the series finale ofGame of Thrones,” Goldberg, 63, explained. “And this morning, there are actually counselors you can reach out to if you’re having a hard time with it. Anybody having a tough time?”
Her question prompted McCain to respond immediately with a “yes” before elaborating on her response — and spoiling the finale in the process.
“I spent eight years of my life watching this, and it was a horrible ending. Horrible,” she said. “Bran is the worst. Sorry, spoiler.”

McCain did go on to deliver a half-hearted apology, telling the crowd, “Sorry! But it’s all over the Internet! I wasn’t told I wasn’t allowed to say it. I’m sorry, everybody. It’s all over the internet. You would’ve found out one way or another.”

Refusing to take the blame entirely, McCain noted, “You guys are genuinely upset,” and went on to question the producers in the studio. “Why is this a ‘hot topic’ then if I’m not supposed to talk about it?”
“It’s a huge show. I think shows should be watched in real time if you’re gonna dedicate to it,” McCain finished. “Apparently, I’m gonna get the wrath of the Internet when I leave!”
Since issuing the apology on Twitter, it appears McCain was not wrong about her expectations from users on social media.
“That was pretty stupid. I agree you shouldn’t have to wait forever…but come on…how dumb. Give it at least a week. Ugh. Next time someone sees you going into a movie I hope they shout the ending at you, and say a real fan would have seen it on opening night!”wroteone follower.
“So disappointed. I do not have HBO, and watch it with friends later in the week. Thanks Meghan,”addedsomeone else.
“Diehard fans also know not to ruin it for other fans,”notedanother person.
“I’m with you. Why was it a Hot Topic if you aren’t allowed to discuss it?”addeda separate user.
“Don’t apologize. I am a huge fan and knew that if I didn’t see it last night, the internet would tell me all about it today,”arguedanother follower.
