How The View’s Sunny Hostin “Almost Died” While Filming

by

Sunny Hostin is taking a little extra time to enjoy the view following a frightening mishap.

On the June 20th episode of The View, the talk show host expressed that she had a near-death experience after being exposed to an allergen during a live food segment with Debbie Matenopoulos earlier in the week.

Sunny shared with her cohosts Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro that the meal she had was delicious Greek food. However, she has a severe allergy to walnuts, and as she’s savoring the food, Alyssa inquires if there are walnuts in it. To her dismay, Alyssa confirms they are present, causing Sunny to react instantly with fear.

After that, Sunny quickly penned down a letter to Alyssa detailing the circumstances and then managed to catch the eye of the talk show’s executive producer, Brian Teta.

Sunny remembered her saying, “Oh dear,” to which Brian asked, “Everything alright?” She shook her head, indicating that all was not well.

Luckily, when the 56-year-old, who started with the ongoing series in 2016, encountered a challenging situation, the on-location medical team swiftly intervened to prevent it from worsening.

Sunny stated, “Our Disney nurses are akin to superheroes.” He went on to say that one nurse arrived with an EpiPen, implying a test of sorts. As it turned out, he had taken Benadryl and felt quite frightened.

Regarding Alyssa, a cast member since 2022, she confessed that she didn’t initially grasp the gravity of the ongoing events as they were happening.

Initially, the 36-year-old political commentator couldn’t make out [the note], but later he jokingly thought, “Could I possibly ask for your Gucci shoes if we ever meet?

However, amidst the tense circumstances they had just faced, Sunny commended her coworker for their quick response, saying “You were fantastic under pressure.” Alyssa then chimed in, “We’re relieved that you managed to get through it all.

Sunny’s not alone in having faced near brushes with danger. Delve deeper into the lives of other stars who have openly discussed their personal health crises as you continue your read.

In April 2025, the former star of “Beverly Hills, 90210” announced that he was recuperating following an operation due to a near-burst appendix.

A week ago, I began experiencing abdominal discomfort,” I mentioned in a recent Instagram post. “Subsequently, I found myself in the emergency room, where it was discovered that my appendix was about to rupture, though it hadn’t quite yet.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my awe for Adam Devine, who recently revealed that the injuries he suffered at age 11, when a cement truck struck him, continue to impact his life till now.

In an episode of the “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast in 2025, Devine expressed that it has been a harrowing experience for him. He’s been plagued with spasms throughout his body, and not too long ago, doctors had informed him that he was close to death – literally, within the last year.

He mentioned that pain appears intermittently, also pointing out, “There’s quite a bit going on within my body that seems slightly off-kilter and not quite right.

Previously part of Bachelor Nation, this individual revealed that he had to visit the hospital by crawling on his hands and knees because of severe back pain that intensified during a recreational vehicle journey with a companion.

Currently, there’s a strange sensation in my legs, all the way down to my toes, he remarked during his Trading Secrets podcast on March 2025. “It’s odd,” he added, “because just a couple of weeks, perhaps even a month ago, I was squatting around 295 pounds. Now, I can barely do a single-legged squat without falling over. It feels like I’ve had a stroke or something.” He tried to avoid sounding boastful when explaining this.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

In the chilling winter of December 2024, during a heated AHL game, I found myself on the receiving end of a misfortunate incident when another player’s skate inadvertently sliced my skin. The injury required a thorough 25 stitches to mend. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, I diligently followed the healing process.

Fast forward to full recovery, my father, the esteemed General Manager of the New Jersey Devils, Tom Fitzgerald, expressed his relief in an interview with ESPN. He humbly shared, “We’re incredibly fortunate. I wouldn’t wish such an experience on any parent.

In March 2025, Gina Kirschenheiter from ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ revealed that her former spouse, Matt Kirschenheiter, had experienced a heart attack. Fortunately, he made it through the harrowing incident.

30 Rock’s lead actor experienced a health emergency during a New York Knicks match in March 2025, resulting in his removal from Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

On the next day, the comedian posted an update on social media, explaining it was due to food poisoning and he was getting better.

In February 2025, the former star of Even Stevens revealed that she had been accidentally shot in the face during a trip for a clay pigeon shooting celebration in honor of her husband, Brendan Rooney’s, birthday.

She posted on Instagram that there was another group with us, and they carelessly discharged their firearm incorrectly, striking me in the face. @thebrendanrooney promptly stepped in, evaluated me, and swiftly took me to the hospital. I was wounded in five spots, one of which was mere inches away from hitting my right eye directly.

The actress formerly known from “Kim Possible” went on to say, “Regrettably, a piece became stuck at the back of my eye, and it’s not safe to remove it through surgery right now. My doctors will closely watch my condition (I can see fine as of now).

In her own words, the actress expressed her deep gratitude for being alive. She emphasized her immense love for her daughters, husband, family, and friends. Having had a close brush with death, she urged everyone to cherish their loved ones and seize every opportunity to embrace them tightly. For life, she stressed, can take an unexpected turn in the blink of an eye.

Despite the internet not always being a compassionate platform, Amy Schumer is grateful that it provided her with answers during this specific instance. After a flurry of interviews, Amy humorously commented on her fuller appearance in a January 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy, saying “Everyone relax, okay?” However, medical professionals weighed in on the comments and suggested she might be suffering from Cushing syndrome due to increased cortisol levels or steroid injections.

As it turned out, Amy had been receiving steroid injections for her scars from past surgeries like breast reduction and C-section. Realizing this connection, Amy concluded that the harsh comments she received on the internet might have actually saved her from an undiagnosed health condition.

Now, Amy is simply relieved to know that she’s healthy and will recover from the Cushing syndrome on its own. In a February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, she expressed, “Discovering that I have a type of Cushing syndrome which will naturally resolve itself and leaves me in good health was the most wonderful news possible.

Hailey Bieber faced a terrifying incident that she described as the most alarming moment of her life. This happened during a breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber, in March 2022 when she suddenly experienced symptoms similar to a stroke. She recalled Justin asking if she was okay and noticed she didn’t respond due to uncertainty. When he asked again, she tried to speak but couldn’t, as the right side of her face began to droop, and she struggled to form sentences.

Although the facial drooping stopped, Hailey went to the hospital for a check-up. She disclosed that medical scans revealed a small blood clot in her brain, which was categorized as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Later, at the University of California, Los Angeles, she discovered she had a hole in her heart called patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Hailey explained that the blood clot made its way into her heart through this hole, escaped, and traveled to her brain, causing the TIA. She underwent a PFO closure procedure successfully and reported feeling excellent since then.

In the same year as Hailey’s health crisis, Justin also encountered a similar issue. Specifically, in June 2022, Justin Bieber disclosed his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which resulted in temporary facial paralysis and led to the cancellation of the rest of his Justice World Tour. To explain this condition, he shared an Instagram video where he pointed out that one of his eyes wasn’t blinking, he couldn’t smile on one side of his face, and one of his nostrils wouldn’t move, indicating full paralysis on one side. He also mentioned it had become increasingly difficult for him to eat due to the condition, but fortunately, the paralysis subsided over time. Hailey shared during a June 2022 episode of Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well and feeling much better despite the sudden and frightening situation.

Initially, Jamie Foxx preferred not to disclose details about his hospitalization in April 2023. However, in his 2024 Netflix special titled “What Had Happened Was…”, he revealed the ordeal he experienced. One day in Atlanta, he complained of a severe headache and asked for an aspirin. Before he could take it, he fainted and lost consciousness for approximately 20 days.

Upon being examined by a doctor, who administered a cortisone shot and sent him home, his sister Deidra Dixon became concerned and drove him to another hospital where they discovered the cause: a brain bleed leading to a stroke. After undergoing surgery on the 20th day, Foxx woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“I just want to express my gratitude for every prayer,” he said, “because I truly needed them all.

Actress Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, penned an essay titled “A Battle for My Life” in 2019. In her own words, she described an incident at the gym where she was struck with intense headaches, vomiting, and worsening pain that led her to suspect a brain injury.

Upon hospitalization, she was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a severe type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain’s surrounding space. Emilia underwent immediate surgery to repair the aneurysm, describing the pain as excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia and spoke incoherently.

A week later, she regained normal speech and was discharged from the hospital after a month. However, a 2013 brain scan revealed that the growth had doubled in size, necessitating another surgery. She recalled waking up from the procedure with intense pain and being informed by doctors that her chances of survival were critical if they didn’t operate again. This time, they accessed her brain through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now reportedly fully recovered and in good health.

Back in January 2024, when I, Cori Broadus, experienced a severe stroke, my world turned upside down. But thankfully, my family – the most incredible people I know – were there for me like never before.

I remember sending them a terrified text and a picture, and just as if summoned by magic, they all rushed to my side. Every single one of them came to my rescue. It was truly a heartwarming sight to see.

Unfortunately, due to additional medical issues, my hospital stay extended longer than I had initially anticipated. My lupus wasn’t cooperating, and my kidneys were failing – it was a challenging time with a lot going on.

But here I am today, making progress every day. I’m doing great, working hard to regain some motor skills, but overall, I’m in good health now. It’s an incredible feeling to have my loved ones by my side throughout this journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their unwavering support.

In the late teens and early twenties of actress Shailene Woodley, her health took a turn for the worse. She experienced a range of health issues, including losing her hearing, extreme fatigue, and stomach problems. These issues were complex and multifaceted, with different doctors offering varying diagnoses.

Desiring to find answers and solutions, Shailene, who is deeply rooted in holistic practices and herbalism, sought help from both conventional medical professionals and alternative healers. This quest for wellness took a decade, during which she grappled with physical discomfort that led to fears around food, body dysmorphia, identity confusion, and feelings of insecurity about her own body.

Through addressing both her physical and mental health concerns, Shailene has now regained her health. She expressed joy and relief, saying, “I’m so grateful and happy to say that I am healthy now.
