'Shark Tank' Star Kevin O'Leary Sued for Claiming Utah Data Center Opposition Has Ties to China The intersection of celebrity, politics, and misinformation has long been a recipe for disaster in America.
A recent example comes courtesy of Kevin O'Leary, the billionaire investor and star of reality TV show "Shark Tank," who is now facing a defamation lawsuit from a group opposing his proposed data center project in Utah.
At issue are O'Leary's claims on Fox News that some individuals involved in the opposition had ties to China. These unsubstantiated remarks have real world consequences for those accused.
