A coanfrerion of “The view“He had a scary health scare while the cameras rolled last week.
Sunny Hostin He recalled Friday’s episode of the day interview program that “almost dies” while filming the episode last Wednesday when he ate nuts, and gave him a severe allergic reaction.
Hostin explained that last Wednesday, Debbie Matenopoulos, former coanfrerion of “The View”, visited the program to promote his new cookbook and brought panelists a spread of their Greek food, which everyone was eating in the air.
Hostin said he felt that everything was fine until his coanfrerion, Alyssa Farah Griffin, asked Matenopoulos if there were nuts on the dish they were eating. “AND [Debbie] He says: ‘Yes, “said Hostin.” So panic immediately. ”
Hostin said that he then decided to write a “death note” on the back of a card to inform Griffin, who usually sits next to him, which was in danger.

“[The note] Basically he says: ‘I am allergic to nuts’, and [Griffin] Answer: ‘Oh, no!’ ‘”, Said Hostin, holding the note while remembering the incident on Friday.” And I’m looking [executive producer] Brian [Teta]and he says: ‘Is everything all right?’ And … no, it is not. “
Although “The View” edited the exchange of hostin and griffin during Wednesday’s episode, You can see Hostin grabbing a card, turning it and writing something in it. After Griffin asked about nuts. The show then cuts a matnopoulos clip that prepares one of its dishes, and then quickly wraps the segment. However, during Friday’s episode, “The View” presented its interaction, with hostin with an anxious appearance and Griffin responding explosively with alarm.
Hostin praised the way the medical team in the show show jumped to save the day.
“They are like superheroes,” said Hostin. “The nurse Jan entered with a corporal, had an epipen, was trying me …”
“It really was scary!” Griffin recalled. “I couldn’t say if she was having a reaction, I couldn’t read [the card] first of all.”
“She was great at the time,” Hostin said about Griffin. “Because I panicked.”
Coanfrerion Sara Haines admitted that “he had no idea,” Hostin was allergic to nuts, which led Hostin to admit that unfortunately he is also sometimes forgotten.
He explained that one of his family members often speaks to him every time the restaurant staff asks the table if someone has dietary restrictions.
“Then, in general, this does not happen to me,” said Hostin. “This has not happened to me in 10 years.”
Hopefully the experience will lead Hostin to advocate more by itself, instead of trusting both family members. According to a 2016 study conducted by the University of Cornell and Published in the American Journal of Public Healthonly 2.5% of the people who face a public medical emergency received help from strangers. For minorities, the number decreases to only 1.8%.
However, there are many easy way to prepare for a medical emergency, such as Learn Heimlich’s maneuver, learn CPR and more. But maybe Hostin should get used to packing an Epipen, in case his family is not close.
