Fact check: Claim about a Kyle Rittenhouse lawsuit against Whoopi Goldberg is satire
An article purporting to describe a $25 million defamation suit filed by Kyle Rittenhouse against comedian and "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg gained wide traction online, with more than 14,000 people interacting with it on Facebook alone.
The April 24 article from the "Dunning-Kruger Times" claimed Rittenhouse filed a defamation suit against Goldberg in April 2022 and that a judge in the "Wisconsin Western District US Court of Writs and Affidavits" had denied Goldberg's motion to dismiss the case.
Rittenhouse became the subject of national attention during a November 2021 trial where he was acquitted of all charges related to the killing of two men during a 2020 protest in the wake of Jacob Blake's death in Kenosha, Wisc.
In comments on Facebook and Twitter posts about the claim, users celebrated the supposed win.
