In a move that no one saw coming, country superstar Carrie Underwood has launched a legal bombshell against the co-hosts of ABC’s The View—and insiders claim the lawsuit could shut the show down for good.
According to sources close to the situation, Underwood is suing the longtime panelists for defamation and “deliberate emotional damage.” The lawsuit names multiple hosts and claims they spread false, harmful statements about her live on national television.
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth, dignity, and the power of words,” one source familiar with the legal team revealed.
While the details remain under tight wraps, insiders say the breaking point came after repeated segments on The View allegedly mocked Underwood’s beliefs and personal choices—comments that Underwood’s team say crossed the line from opinion to character assassination.

ABC, already facing internal turmoil and major restructuring, is now reportedly in crisis talks over the future of The View.
Whispers in the hallways suggest the network is considering permanently canceling the show rather than facing a high-profile legal battle with a beloved celebrity like Underwood.
One anonymous ABC staffer reportedly told media outlets:
“They underestimated Carrie. Now the whole show might go down because of it.”
