Fact Check: Did Whoopi Goldberg sue Gordon Ramsay for throwing her out of his restaurant? Viral article debunked

An article has been floating on social media that claims that Whoopi Goldberg has sued Gordon Ramsay after he allegedly threw her out of his restaurant. The article was published around 3 months ago on Spacexmania and has started going viral on multiple platforms recently.

The article mentioned that Whoopi Goldberg had filed a lawsuit against the renowned chef, and the clash between the two had become more intense. The article mentioned that the fiasco between the two started when Whoopi asked Gordon’s chef to prepare her a vegan steak. Allegedly, this infuriated Gordon Ramsay, who lashed out at Goldberg and said:

“A vegan steak? That’s an oxymoron, madam. Out you go!”

The article then stated:

“And just like that, Goldberg was shown the exit, leaving her dinner companions and fellow diners in stunned silence. In the aftermath of what is now known as the “Steak-Gate” incident, Goldberg has decided to fight back. With the same tenacity she applies to heated discussions on “The View,” the actress is serving Ramsay a piping hot lawsuit.”

However, the news was not confirmed by any official sources and was neither confirmed by any reliable media house. At the same time, there were many other articles on the website, Spacexmania, that looked fake, just like this article. Hence, navigating through the About section of the website, it can be seen that it is just a satirical website, which publishes fake and satirical articles.
