There is no Reba McEntire lawsuit against The View. No court record, no news report, and no statement from McEntire, ABC, or anyone connected to the show supports the claim. PolitiFact searched the federal PACER database and found nothing, rating the story “Pants on Fire.”1PolitiFact. Reba McEntire Isn’t Facing Any Charges, Despite Claims The headlines you may have seen come from clickbait sites built to sell gummy supplements, and McEntire herself has repeatedly told fans to ignore them.
Where the Fake Lawsuit Story Comes From
The story follows a formula fact-checkers have documented for years. A sensational headline claims a beloved celebrity is suing, or being sued by, someone connected to The View. The link goes to a page dressed up to look like Fox News or People, complete with borrowed logos and layouts. The “article” then pivots into a pitch for a product McEntire has never endorsed, typically CBD or keto gummies with brand names like Bloom CBD Gummies or Nature’s Leaf CBD Gummies, sometimes with fabricated claims about reversing dementia.2Snopes.

The financial hook comes after the click. Buying through one of these pages can enroll you in a trial program that triggers large recurring charges to your credit or debit card roughly 30 days later.3Snopes.

The Same Template, Different Celebrity
McEntire is one name in a long rotation. Fact-checkers at Snopes, the Associated Press, Reuters, and PolitiFact have debunked a running list of fabricated lawsuit stories involving The View and Whoopi Goldberg in particular:
- Elon Musk was falsely reported to have filed a $70 million lawsuit against Goldberg and the show. The claim came from SpaceXMania, a site that labels itself as parody.5Reuters. No Evidence Musk Filed Lawsuit Against Whoopi Goldberg, The View
- Jason Aldean was falsely claimed to have sued Goldberg for defamation.6AP News. Fact Check: Jason Aldean Defamation Lawsuit Whoopi View
- Carrie Underwood was falsely alleged to have sued the show for $800 million.4Snopes. ABC The View Collection

SpaceXMania, one of the most prolific sources, displays a disclaimer reading “NOTHING ON THIS WEBSITE IS REAL” while producing headlines styled as breaking news.9SpaceXMania. Satire Category The pattern is the point. If you see a story about a country star or public figure winning a huge lawsuit against The View, the odds it was invented to sell you gummies are high.
Other Scam Ads Using McEntire’s Name
The fake View lawsuit is one entry in a longer campaign that has run under McEntire’s name since at least 2022. Snopes has fact-checked a wave of 2022 ads claiming McEntire had suffered “sad news” or “a tragic end,”3Snopes.

What McEntire Has Said Herself
McEntire has addressed the scams directly and more than once. In February 2024, she posted a screenshot of a fake headline claiming she was leaving The Voice, stamped “FALSE” across it, and wrote: “Please do not click on any articles that say I am leaving The Voice. This is not true. These are fake websites to lure people in with clickbait where they claim I have a company to sell weight loss gummy products. This is false. I do not sell or promote any type of gummy product.”11Yahoo Lifestyle. Reba McEntire Begs Fans Not to Fall for Scams
In November 2024, she posted another warning across Instagram, Facebook, and X, telling followers that neither she nor her team would ever contact fans through direct messages or phone numbers asking for money. “PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF ONLINE,” she wrote, urging people not to hand over personal information or send money to strangers.12AOL.

She has also pushed back against fabricated quotes attributed to her. After her Super Bowl LVIII national anthem performance in February 2024, a social media account published a fake quote in which she supposedly disparaged Taylor Swift. She responded on Instagram: “Please don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. I did not say this. Taylor is a wonderful artist, strong role model and has done so much good for so many people and the music industry.”13Taste of Country. Reba McEntire Sets the Record Straight on Taylor Swift Remarks
