evidence: In late June 2024, a post on the Facebook page SpaceXMania claimed that "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg sued Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., for $10 million. "Maybe because she don't deserve respect and she is toxic," one Facebook user commented, "bottom line if you want respect respect others, as far as being toxic wen the members of your staff don't respect you and think your toxic is because you brought that upon yourself." [...] In an unfolding drama that captures the intersection of celebrity, politics, and personal reputation, Whoopi Goldberg, the acclaimed actress and co-host of "The View," has launched a $10 million lawsuit against Senator Tim Scott. The lawsuit stems from a contentious episode where Scott allegedly branded Goldberg as "toxic," a remark that has since spiraled into a significant legal and public relations battle. [...] It's not the first time we've fact-checked a Goldberg-related rumor. In June 2024, we looked at social media posts claiming Goldberg had made "The View" the lowest-rated show in television history. Moreover, in April 2024, we debunked the false claim that Elon Musk fired the "entire cast" of "The View" after acquiring the ABC TV network.
