$800M Lawsuit STANDS! Karoline Leavitt Sends Message to Whoopi Goldberg.

The View': Whoopi Goldberg Excoriates New Trump Press Secretary Over  'Wokeness' Briefing Comments

In a dramatic escalation that’s turning heads across media and politics, Karoline Leavitt, the fiery GOP strategist and rising conservative star, delivered a blunt message to Whoopi Goldberg: “Too late!” This came just moments after Goldberg attempted to walk back a controversial statement made on The View — but according to Leavitt and her legal team, the damage is done.

And the $800 million lawsuit? It’s moving forward.

What started as a heated TV debate is now spiraling into a massive legal showdown—one that could redefine the boundaries of media accountability and free speech on daytime television.

The controversy began during a recent episode of The View, when Whoopi Goldberg made remarks that Leavitt’s legal team is calling “defamatory, reckless, and malicious.

” Though the segment began as a typical discussion on the 2024 election landscape, things took a sharp turn when Goldberg allegedly made a false and damaging claim about Leavitt’s background and political motives.

Leavitt, a former Trump White House staffer and current spokeswoman for MAGA-aligned initiatives, didn’t stay silent.

Within 48 hours, she announced legal action against ABC and Goldberg personally—filing a defamation suit worth $800 million.

Leavitt’s legal filing argues that Goldberg’s remarks were not only factually incorrect but made with intent to harm, citing a pattern of partisan attacks on conservative voices by The View.

The lawsuit outlines several key claims:

Defamation of character

Intentional infliction of emotional distress

Loss of professional reputation and future opportunities

The $800 million figure, while eye-popping, is based on what Leavitt’s attorneys say are “clear damages” in both present and future earnings due to the “malicious broadcast of falsehoods.”

Legal analysts say this could become one of the most significant media defamation cases since Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News, which ended in a $787.5 million settlement in 2023.

Leavitt’s attorneys are pushing for a full trial, not just a settlement.

They’re demanding a public apology, formal retraction, and significant damages.

ABC has not commented on the lawsuit beyond acknowledging receipt of the legal filing.

If the lawsuit proceeds, it will likely enter court sometime in late 2025—putting this clash right in the middle of an election year.

What started as a heated TV segment is now a potential landmark legal case—with $800 million on the line and the reputations of two powerful public figures hanging in the balance.

Karoline Leavitt’s “Too late” response to Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t just a soundbite—it was a declaration of war on what she sees as unchecked media bias.
