Jason Aldean’s recent song, “Try That in a Small Town,” has sparked a legal battle. The song’s content and portrayal of protests have drawn criticism, with Whoopi Goldberg questioning its message on The View.
Aldean responded with a $40 million defamation lawsuit against Goldberg and The View’s hosts for implying he’s a racist.
Tom Selleck has publicly supported Aldean, but his comments have stirred debate.
Goldberg has faced previous controversies, including comments about the Holocaust, defending Bill Cosby, and remarks on domestic violence.
The legal battle continues, with ABC News supporting their hosts’ free speech rights.
