Fact Check-Claims Kyle Rittenhouse sued and won a defamation case against The View stem from satire website
Originating from a satire site, false claims that Kyle Rittenhouse has sued and won a defamation case against ABC talk show The View, resulting in $22 million being awarded to Rittenhouse, have spread on social media, generating thousands of retweets.
Rittenhouse’s family told Reuters In November, 2021, that they had not taken such a case (here). The rumor had originated from a satire site that had previously published similar untrue claims. Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder in November 2021 (here) following a controversial trial over the fatal shooting of two men the previous year.
Shortly afterwards, rumors spread online that he had “filed a $60M defamation lawsuit” against hosts of The View , a claim that Rittenhouse’s lawyer denied and Reuters fact-checked (here). The claim originated on a “subsidiary” website of America’s Last Line of Defense, a popular satirical network (here). The most recent false claim about a payout being awarded to Rittenhouse appeared on another subsidiary of the network, Dunning-kruger-times.com (here), the “About” of which page reads: “Everything on this website is fiction” (here). The site’s name is a reference to the Dunning-Kruger effect, which describes how uninformed people tend to overestimate their knowledge more than experts do (here).
The false claim of a payout has since been spread on Facebook (here) and Twitter (here) and (here) where it has been retweeted thousands of times and garnered more than 17,000 likes.
