Whoopi Goldberg Defends Beyonce's Grammy Wins From Fox News Pundit

Rap legend Eminem (Marshall Mathers), known for turning feuds into chart-topping rhymes, is reportedly suing The View and veteran co-host Whoopi Goldberg for a staggering $50 million. The claim? A “vicious and calculated attack” during a live TV segment that his legal team says was engineered to publicly humiliate him.

“You humiliated me on live TV — now it’s your turn to face the fallout,” Eminem allegedly told his inner circle, as the lawsuit made headlines this morning.

Eminem Is Only A Tony Award Shy From An EGOT

The suit, filed in Michigan federal court, accuses Goldberg and producers at ABC of ambushing the rapper with “weaponized commentary” — allegedly violating pre-interview agreements and dragging up long-settled controversies in what Marshall’s team now calls “a reputational hit job for ratings.”

The now-infamous moment occurred during an episode of The View aired in mid-July. Billed as a casual conversation about Eminem’s upcoming album and the 25th anniversary of The Slim Shady LP, the interview took a sharp turn when Goldberg allegedly pressed him about “misogyny in his early lyrics,” particularly referencing his tumultuous past with ex-wife Kim Scott.

“You can’t just rewrite history, Marshall,” Goldberg said during the exchange. “Do you regret the way you talked about women in your music?”

Eminem — who has been open in recent years about his struggles with addiction, mental health, and personal growth — appeared visibly caught off guard. Though he responded respectfully, calling the lyrics “a reflection of a very broken time,” he reportedly viewed the moment as a “trap”.

Insiders claim the interview had strict pre-approved topic boundaries, and Goldberg’s question was not on the list.

Whoopi Goldberg quips about her three failed marriages

According to documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Eminem’s legal team accuses the show of:

Breach of verbal and contractual agreements

Intentional infliction of emotional distress

Defamation with intent to damage professional partnerships

His legal counsel, Lisa Marcus, released a public statement:

“Mr. Mathers agreed to appear in good faith to discuss music, legacy, and growth. What he received instead was a hostile, misleading segment designed to provoke outrage. It was not journalism. It was sabotage.”

The lawsuit claims Eminem suffered “financial fallout”, including delays in brand partnerships (with Beats by Dre and a Netflix documentary series), which were paused pending damage control.

Eminem wins Emmy meaning he's now very close to milestone

While his early career was rife with shock lyrics and tabloid drama, Eminem has, over the past decade, undergone a widely recognized transformation.

He celebrated 15 years of sobriety in April 2023.

He helped launch daughter Hailie Jade’s successful podcastJust a Little Shady.

He has been honored with two Academy Awards, 15 Grammy wins, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, where he performed a medley that included “Lose Yourself” and “Stan” — with Elton John joining him in a symbolic moment of growth and reconciliation.

Even critics have acknowledged that “Em” has grown up. His 2020 track Darkness tackled gun violence and mental health, earning praise from advocacy groups.

🌪️ Fallout and Reactions

Reactions to the lawsuit have lit up the internet.

50 Cent, Eminem’s longtime protégé, tweeted: “Nobody blindsides the boss and gets away with it. Stay tuned.”

Charlamagne Tha God said on The Breakfast Club, “If this lawsuit is real, it’s a huge signal — Em ain’t here for gimmicks anymore.”

Even casual viewers agree: the tone of The View’s interview was noticeably sharper than past guest segments. Some even called it “gotcha TV.”

An ABC insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, admitted:

“We were hoping for headlines — we didn’t expect this kind of blowback.”

When approached by reporters outside ABC Studios, Whoopi Goldberg declined to comment, but on a follow-up episode of The View, she appeared to address the backlash, saying:

“If someone’s offended by tough questions, that’s not on me. That’s talk TV.”

Sources close to Goldberg say she was “surprised” by the lawsuit, believing the question to be fair game based on Eminem’s public past. But legal experts say that’s not how modern guest agreements work — especially not with high-profile talent and pre-interview vetting.

🎙️ What’s Next for Eminem?

Despite the legal drama, Eminem’s camp confirms that his new album — rumored to be titled “Marshall’s Law” — will still release this fall.

And insiders hint that a response track may already be in the works.

“This man turned court transcripts into rhymes in ‘The Way I Am,’” one longtime collaborator said. “You think he’s going to stay silent now?”

One thing is certain:
This isn’t just a legal fight — it’s a cultural flashpoint. And as Marshall Mathers has proved time and time again…
he doesn’t lose many battles.
