Recent rumors have sparked speculation about The View co-host Sunny Hostin’s future on the show, with some claiming she has been fired from the show. While speculation has swirled, no official statement from ABC has confirmed any such move. As of now, Hostin continues to appear alongside her co-hosts on the talk show.
Here is more about whether Sunny Hostin has been fired from The View.
Did Sunny Hostin get fired from hosting The View?
Sunny Hostin has not been fired from The View, despite the rumors circulating following a recent on-air incident. There has been no official announcement from the show or ABC regarding her exit. Additionally, Hostin is still listed as a current co-host on the official X (formerly Twitter) account.
The rumors about Hostin’s firing began after a tense moment that occurred during a recent broadcast. On the show, Hostin expressed strong opinions about Matt Gaetz, who was earlier picked by President Donald Trump for Attorney General before he himself withdrew his name. Hostin was critical of Gaetz, questioning how someone facing allegations of child trafficking could be considered for such a high position. Hostin asked, “How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” (via New York Post)
However, just minutes later, The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg interrupted and said, “Sunny, you have a legal note.” Hostin then read a prepared legal disclaimer. The note stated that Gaetz had long denied all allegations, calling them a “false smear,” and pointed out that the Department of Justice had closed its investigation into him without filing charges. Goldberg quickly moved the show to a commercial break, effectively ending the discussion.
The video of Hostin reading the legal disclaimer went viral after it was posted by conservative figure Collin Rugg. The clip quickly spread across social media. Many viewers mocked Hostin for her apparent discomfort as she read the disclaimer with a stern expression.
