On Sept. 6, 2023, the SpaceXMania.com website reported that “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg and U.S. women’s national team soccer player Megan Rapinoe were planning to leave America

In a sobering announcement that has gripped the nation, iconic actress and talk show co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, alongside soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe, declared their intentions to leave America. The overwhelming sentiment behind this unprecedented decision? A profound sense of feeling disrespected and unappreciated.

While many significant decisions stem from hushed boardroom meetings or formal gatherings, this one found its origins in the most unexpected of locales: a brunch at LA’s renowned ‘Eggs-travagance’ bistro. As both celebrities sat down, little did the onlookers know that the meeting would spiral into a national conversation on respect, scrutiny, and the emotional toll it takes.

However, these two articles were not a factual recounting of real-life events. The stories originated with a website that describes its output as being satirical in nature, both on its “About Us” page and as a label above articles.

The rumor specifically about Rapinoe also appeared in a new article on The Dunning-Kruger Times satire website on Sept. 6. The Dunning-Kruger Times is part of the America’s Last Line of Defense network. The headline of the story read, “Megan Rapinoe Says She’s Leaving America: ‘I Get No Respect.’” The “get no respect” quotes from both websites were made up.
