Everything erupted after an explosive episode of The View, where several panelists made what Leavitt’s legal team described as
“defamatory and malicious statements” about her. While the episode aired as just another spicy roundtable discussion, the fallout was swift and severe.

Insiders say the comments went far beyond political critique, veering into character assassination. That’s when Leavitt decided enough was enough.
