"The View" host Whoopi Goldberg lost everything in the lawsuit against country singer Jason Aldean.
On August 4, 2023, "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg lost a $40 million lawsuit against country singer Jason Aldean. The headline read: "OR 3 MINUTES: Whoopi Goldberg panics after losing everything at trial."

By August 7, the video had been viewed nearly a million times. The video was narrated by an artificial intelligence (AI) voice, which few of the thousands of commenters seemed to have mentioned.
The fake narrator of the video began:

NARRATOR: It looks like Whoopi Goldberg is caught up in yet another controversy, and this time it looks like she could be sued for a lot of money and lose everything she's worked so hard for. Let's see how Whoopi got into this panic. Recently, country singer Jason Aldean made headlines for the "Try That in a Small Town" song controversy, and the news reached "The View," where Goldberg and his co-hosts bashed him.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: "This is how country singer Jason Aldean is facing backlash after his 'Not in Town' video."
NARRATOR: Whoopi claimed that the message the song was trying to convey was questionable. He said on "The View," "You just have to understand that when you do this about Black Lives Matter, are you talking about black people? What are you talking about here?" Her co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin mercilessly attacked the song, calling it "awkward" and "annoying," and it drew a lot of backlash from fans.
True, Goldberg previously commented on Aldean's music video for "Try That in a Small Town" and the Black Lives Matter movement on "The View." It was also true that co-host Joy Behar called the song both "sad" and "annoying," as evidenced by a clip posted to the TV show's official YouTube channel.
