FOX NEWS INSIDER - The widow of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle pushed back against Jesse Ventura, telling Gretchen Carlson that she will have to pay out of her own pocket after Ventura won a defamation lawsuit against her late husband.
Since Kyle's death, many have criticized Ventura for continuing with the lawsuit, but he has maintained that insurance companies would pay the award, not the Kyle family.
In an exclusive sit-down on "The Real Story," Taya Kyle said despite what Ventura claims, she will indeed have to pay a portion of the $1.8 million verdict.
"Absolutely. ... I think insurance is responsible for $500,000 because of the way the law is written," she said.
The case remains in the courts after Kyle's lawyers asked that the verdict be dismissed.
A federal jury in Minnesota sided with Ventura over the summer, deciding that Kyle had libeled the former Minnesota governor in his best-selling book.
