“Melania wins $900 million ‘defamation lawsuit’ against The View & Sunny Hostin.”

After daytime talk show “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin made disparaging remarks about President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump’s relationship, some social media users said the first lady sued.

“Melania wins $900M ‘defamation lawsuit’ against The View & Sunny Hostin,” a Feb. 1 Threads video’s text said. The video included what sounds like an artificial intelligence-generated narration that said Hostin claimed “without a shred of evidence that Melania hates her husband and only pretends to love him.”

This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

During an Oct. 3 episode of “The View,” when discussing the stance on reproductive rights Melania Trump relayed in her memoir, Hostin said of Melania Trump, “I think she hates him (Donald Trump) … She doesn’t wanna sleep in the same room with him. She can’t tolerate him.”

But Trump did not sue “The View” or Hostin for the comments.

A search of Google and the Nexis news database for reports about Melania Trump suing “The View” for defamation yielded no credible results. We did find reports about Trump settling defamation lawsuits against the Daily Mail for $2.9 million in 2017 after the paper falsely said she was once an escort.

PolitiFact previously fact-checked several similar claims that public figures including musician Jason Aldean, X owner Elon Musk, and swimmer Riley Gaines sued “The View.”

We rate the claim that Melania Trump won a $900 million defamation lawsuit against “The View” and Hostin False.
