Buckle up, folks — because when country sweetheart Carrie Underwood collides with daytime drama queens and Joe Rogan gets involved, you know the tea is boiling over.
This week, viewers were blindsided when reports emerged that Grammy-winner Carrie Underwood has filed a lawsuit against The View and its co-hosts — allegedly citing “defamation, misrepresentation, and intentional character assassination” after a particularly shady segment aired last month.
But it was Joe Rogan, podcast king and professional button-pusher, who took the drama to new heights.
Rogan Unfiltered: “Sunny Hostin Should Worry Less About Country Stars and More About Basic Facts.”
On the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan tore into the situation, zeroing in on Sunny Hostin, who he claims “ran her mouth like she knew Carrie personally.”
“You don’t go after Carrie Underwood unless you’re ready to get hit with a rhinestone-studded subpoena,” Rogan joked, before adding,
“The View’s become a clown show — with coffee.”
He continued:
“Maybe instead of mocking people’s beliefs or twisting headlines for clicks, they should just… I don’t know… read the article?”
Cue laughter, sound effects, and an unfiltered rant that now has #JoeVsTheView trending across X (formerly Twitter).
What Sparked Carrie’s Lawsuit?
According to sources, the legal drama began after The View aired a segment suggesting Underwood had backed a controversial bill — something her team vehemently denied. Despite Carrie issuing a clarification, the show allegedly doubled down, with Sunny Hostin reportedly saying:
“People like her hide behind their music to avoid accountability.”
Enter the lawsuit.
Carrie’s reps released a statement saying:
“Ms. Underwood has never supported the bill in question. The View’s comments were not only false, they were harmful and damaging to her reputation.”
The internet did what it does best: explode.
“You messed with the wrong country queen!”“Rogan vs. The View? Someone pass the popcorn.”
“This is giving Taylor Swift 2016 energy.”
The Real Question… Will Carrie Appear on Rogan’s Podcast?
Rogan closed the segment by jokingly inviting Carrie to “clear the air with a whiskey and a microphone.” No word yet if the country icon will accept, but fans are already imagining the episode cover: Carrie in cowboy boots, holding court in Rogan’s studio like a Southern Athena.
