Karoline Leavitt Strikes Back: Conservative Rising Star Files $800M Lawsuit Against The View

Karoline Leavitt FILES ANOTHER Massive Lawsuit Against The View and Whoopi Goldberg!

A media firestorm has erupted after conservative commentator Karoline Leavitt launched a defamation lawsuit reportedly worth $800 million against ABC’s The View, following on-air remarks that she says crossed the line into character assassination.

Appearing on the daytime show’s radar as a vocal young conservative, Leavitt was criticized by panelists Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sunny Hostin, with comments that allegedly mocked her appearance, dismissed her professional achievements, and attributed her success to political favoritism from Donald Trump.

According to reports, Behar quipped that Trump promoted Leavitt because he saw her as “a 10,” while Goldberg and Hostin suggested she only had a platform due to “privilege” and “wokeness.” These remarks, Leavitt claims, constitute slander and were intended to damage her public image and career.

But rather than responding with social media outrage, Leavitt opted for legal action—filing a lawsuit citing defamation, slander, and malicious intent. Her legal team is reportedly well-prepared, and sources close to ABC say the network is on high alert, with executives scrambling to manage the fallout.

Insiders suggest the lawsuit could trigger serious financial repercussions for ABC, including potential sponsor pullouts and plummeting ad revenue. Some corporate partners are said to be reconsidering their affiliations with The View as the controversy unfolds.

Behind the scenes, efforts are allegedly underway to reach a settlement, with reports that hosts have quietly attempted to de-escalate the conflict. Behar and Goldberg have reportedly made overtures to Leavitt through intermediaries.

While the legal battle is only beginning, Leavitt’s supporters are calling her move a bold stand against what they see as double standards in mainstream media—where outspoken conservative women, they argue, are often subject to personal attacks under the guise of commentary.

As ABC braces for impact, questions swirl about the future of The View, a show already familiar with controversy. But this time, critics say, it may be facing a reckoning not even prime-time spin can fix.
