In early 2025, rumors began circulating that country music star Carrie Underwood had filed a lawsuit against the hosts of the daytime talk show “The View,” demanding the show’s cancellation due to alleged defamation and invasion of privacy. These claims originated in a YouTube video by the channel OkayRickk, which quickly garnered over 350,000 views. However, upon closer inspection, reputable sources have debunked these rumors and confirmed that Underwood has not taken any legal action against “The View” or its hosts.
The controversy began when Underwood announced her decision to perform at President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. That announcement sparked a range of reactions, including criticism from “The View” co-host Joy Behar. Behar questioned Underwood’s support for Trump, saying, “How can you love your country and at the same time support and normalize someone who is a convicted felon and, in my opinion, wants to destroy the country?”
Despite the heated discussions, Underwood has not publicly responded to Behar’s comments, nor has she taken any legal action. In fact, sources suggest that Underwood prefers to focus on her music and avoid political drama.
In response to the backlash and to protect Underwood’s image, ABC executives have reportedly instructed the co-hosts of “The View” to refrain from further criticism of the singer. An insider revealed that the network is keen to maintain a positive relationship with Underwood, as she is considered a “ratings magnet” with a sizable fan base.
The rapid spread of the lawsuit rumor highlights the challenges posed by misinformation in the digital age. It underscores the importance of verifying information through credible sources before accepting sensational claims as truth. At this time, Carrie Underwood has not taken legal action against “The View” and the talk show will continue to air as usual.
