Sunny Hostin shared how she got an allergic reaction while filming for The View. On the June 20, 2025, episode of the show, she recalled a segment from the June 18, 2025, episode where The View's former co-host, Debbie Matenopoulos, appeared to promote her new cookbook, Greek.ish.

On Wednesday, Matenopoulos prepared Greek food from her cookbook and let the show's hosts try it. Sunny Hostin, who is allergic to walnuts, also tried the dish with the ingredient. While they were eating, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Debbie if the dish had walnuts, and she agreed, causing Hostin to panic.

"I almost died on the show. We had our former co-host, Debbie Matenopoulos, and she had this wonderful Greek food. I have a terrible allergy to walnuts. As I'm eating the food, Alyssa asks, 'Are those walnuts in here?' And she says 'yes.' So I panic immediately," Hostin stated.

While sharing the incident on Friday, Sunny Hostin showed the "death note" she passed to Griffin. While Griffin couldn't read what the note stated, executive producer Brian Teta caught on and sent the nurse. Hostin called the nurses "superheroes," saying nurse Jan tested her, gave her an EpiPen, and Benadryl.

"What was great was, our Disney nurses are like superheroes. Nurse Jan came in with an EpiPen. She was testing me. I had Benadryl. I was scared," Hostin stated.

Earlier this month, The View co-hosts discussed Sabrina Carpenter when co-host Joy Behar shared that she had gotten married in the same church where the pop star shot her Feather music video.

For the unversed, monsignor Jamie Gigantiello was stripped of his duties at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Williamsburg for allowing Sabrina Carpenter to shoot her music video inside the church, and other unapproved financial transfers that were found during the investigation.

The View's hosts then discussed the singer's Man's Best Friend album cover, which received backlash from netizens as it depicted Sabrina Carpenter on her knees in front of a man who grabbed her by the hair. Sunny Hostin stated that she was unfamiliar with the singer, as she had never heard Carpenter's music.

"I'll admit, I don't know who she is, I've never heard of her music. I don't know anything about her," she stated.

Sunny Hostin then said that she didn't approve of the album cover, saying that while her songs might have a "feminist" message, young girls might not understand, and they might misinterpret the album cover.

"I think that imagery is important. And even if her lyrics are strong and she's a feminist, I just think about young girls seeing that who may not understand," Sunny Hostin stated.
