CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S $50 MILLION LAWSUIT ROCKS DAYTIME TV — WHOOPI & THE VIEW IN THE CROSSHAIRS AFTER LIVE ON-AIR SHOWDOWN
It was supposed to be a friendly sit-down — music, laughter, maybe a little light gossip. Instead, viewers watched in stunned silence as The View turned into a verbal firing squad. Whoopi Goldberg led the charge, hurling accusations Carrie Underwood insists were “flat-out lies” broadcast to millions.
Now, the country superstar has gone nuclear — filing a $50 million defamation suit that names Whoopi and ABC directly. Insiders say the tension didn’t start at the table… and what was caught on air might only be the tip of a much darker feud.
Behind the scenes, network lawyers are scrambling, producers are pointing fingers, and fans are choosing sides. If Underwood’s claims stick, this isn’t just a legal headache for The View — it could be the most expensive on-air ambush in daytime TV history.
