The View Host Sunny Hostin Suffers Severe On-Air Allergic Reaction

Sunny Hostin, co-host of "The View," experienced a life-threatening allergic reaction on-air after unknowingly consuming walnuts brought by former co-host Debbie Matenopoulos during a cooking segment. Hostin panicked upon learning about the walnuts and quickly wrote a "death note" to fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, alerting her to the severity of her walnut allergy. The situation escalated rapidly, prompting the show's executive producer and medical team to intervene immediately, with Nurse Jan administering an EpiPen and providing Benadryl. Hostin praised the Disney nurses as "superheroes" for their swift and effective response, which prevented a catastrophic outcome. Despite the scare, Hostin shared that she sometimes forgets her allergy and maintains a diet including snacks like Funyuns, much to her co-hosts' amusement. The incident highlighted the dangers of severe food allergies and the importance of prompt medical attention in emergency situations.
