A former Navy SEAL is suing a podcast over claims he lied about killing Osama bin Laden. Two podcast hosts claimed he lied about the assassination.
Now, he’s suing them for $25 million in defamation.
Former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill claims that Antihero Broadcast podcasters Tyler Hoover and Brent Tucker damaged his reputation. The podcast hosts, starting in 2023, claimed that O’Neill didn’t actually kill bin Laden, according to The New York Post.
Both Hoover and Tucker have made remarks about the former Navy SEAL on the podcast.
“Besides the Rob O’Neill who didn’t kill bin Laden,” Tucker said in 2023. “No, he didn’t kill bin Laden! It is the worst-kept secret in all of special ops. I am not going to say, ‘Oh, yeah, I was on the mission.’ I’d be as big a liar as Rob O’Neill.”
