is suing two podcasters for $25 million for repeatedly claiming he lied about assassinating the al-Qaeda leader, according to new court papers. Robert O’Neill, a highly decorated ex-member of the ultra-elite military unit, claims Antihero Broadcast podcasters Tyler Hoover and Brent Tucker began their unfair on-air crusade against him in 2023 and have since continued to falsely claim he lied about his heroic 2012 act, according to the Westchester County Supreme Court lawsuit filed Monday — the eve of Veteran’s Day.
Former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill claims two podcasters defamed him by saying he didn’t actually kill Osama bin Laden.Hoover, 37, and Tucker, 45, both Florida residents and military veterans themselves, first launched their smear campaign against O’Neill to get clicks and bring attention to their YouTube channel, the suit alleged.“No, he didn’t kill Biden Laden! … It is the worst-kept secret in all of special ops,’’ Tucker claimed. “I am not going to say, ‘Oh, yeah, I was on the mission.’ I’d be as big a liar as Rob O’Neill.”Rep. Nancy Mace’s ex files lawsuit claiming she falsely accused him of rape in plot concocted with friend’s estranged wife Teacher Abby Zwerner awarded $10M in lawsuit against principal who failed to stop 6-year-old who shot her Tucker claimed he is friends with some of the other men who were on the mission and that while they are too professional to contradict O’Neill’s account, they also haven’t said, “ ‘Oh, yeah, he’s a great guy. He killed Osama bin Laden.’for its famous May 2, 2011, Operation Neptune’s Spear and was personally responsible for landing the shots that killed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist plotter, the suit said. That fact was corroborated by the mission’s leader, retired Admr. William H. McRaven, the lawsuit said. “The story that I’ve been truthful with the entire time is that I had one guy in front of me,” O’Neill told The Post in an exclusive interview.O’Neill claims that Tucker and Hoover repeatedly falsely said O’Neill lied about his account of firing the three shots that killed bin Laden.“He went one direction at the top of the stairs to confront what he thought was a suicide bomber. I turned the other way, and Osama bin Laden was standing there, and so I shot him three times.On Oct. 23, 2025, on Tucker’s new podcast “Tier1,” Tucker claimed that the fact he hadn’t not been sued yet by O’Neill was further proof that Tucker had been right all along about O’Neill’s alleged lies, the suit said.“Never get a lawsuit,’’ Tucker said during the episode. “They’d sue me in a heartbeat. Never. … You can guess why they don’t have a lawsuit against me.’’ O’Neill fired back to The Post that if suing them is “what it takes to stop it, than this is what I’m doing.”The podcasters “failed to perform even basic due diligence” before slandering O’Neill, the suit said. O’Neill — who doesn’t know the podcasters personally — said it is particularly troubling to him they have targeted a fellow veteran. O’Neill said if they have problems with other vets, they should approach them privately — especially considering the harm of calling people out publicly who often struggle with post traumatic stress disorder. “The vet-on-vet thing has gotten a little bit out of control, and I would like to have it stop,” O’Neill said. “I would like to set a precedent. We shouldn’t be doing this to each other publicly. We should be doing it privately.”O’Neill — a Westchester County resident — retired from the military in 2012 after 16 years of service and has since built a career on public speaking and recently started a business teaching people how to be successful leaders. But O’Neill — who is married with a daughter and is expecting another child — had his “life abruptly interrupted” when the podcasts continued false commentary about him, his suit claimed. “The defendants’ unfounded and defamatory claims that O’Neill is a liar and a fraud have damaged his reputation and career,” the filing charged. O’Neill now has fewer speaking engagement opportunities, and his career has generally suffered, the suit claimed. The defamation has also caused him “psychological and physiological harm, in addition to embarrassment,” the court papers alleged. O’Neill said any financial gains from his lawsuit will be donated to help veterans with PTSD receive treatment.Hochul slams brakes on Zohran Mamdani's free NYC bus plan‘SNL’ Host Nikki Glaser Draws Gasps For Pedophilia Jokes During Monologue ‘Golden Bachelor’ Gerry Turner Allegedly Mentioned Chopping Up His Ex-Wife Theresa Nist: “That’s Where I’m Going To Hide Your Body After I Kill You” ‘The View’: Alyssa Farah Griffin Explains Why She Thinks Trump Is “Secretly Rooting” For Zohran Mamdani To Win NYC Mayoral Election Sunny Hostin Offers Backhanded Compliment To Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene On ‘The View’: “You’ve Gone So Far Right, You’re On The Left Now”O'Neill claims that Tucker and Hoover repeatedly falsely said O'Neill lied about his account of firing the three shots that killed bin Laden.
