In early 2025, rumors spread that Carrie Underwood had filed a lawsuit against the hosts of The View over defamation and invasion of privacy. The claims, originating from a YouTube video by the channel OkayRickk, quickly gained traction. However, reputable sources have debunked these rumors, confirming that Underwood has not taken legal action.

The controversy began when Underwood announced her decision to perform at President Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. The View’s Joy Behar criticized her support for Trump, leading to heated reactions. Despite the backlash, Underwood did not respond to Behar’s comments or seek legal recourse.

Sources indicate that Underwood prefers focusing on her music and avoiding political drama. To protect her image, ABC reportedly instructed The View hosts to refrain from further criticism, recognizing Underwood as a valuable asset for the network.

The spread of the lawsuit rumor highlights the dangers of misinformation. Carrie Underwood has not pursued legal action against The View, and the show continues as usual.
