Sunny Hostin Breaks Down in Tears After Receiving Medical Test Results: “If I D.i.e, What Will Happen to My Children?”
A deeply emotional moment on The View as Sunny Hostin opens up about her fears after a shocking health revelation. How is she coping with the terrifying news?
The View Takes a Somber Turn Amid Health Revelations
Thursday’s episode of The View (January 9) took an unexpectedly serious tone as Sunny Hostin became overwhelmed with emotion while discussing a shocking health report.
The episode had already started on a solemn note, as its live broadcast was preempted by the funeral procession for former President Jimmy Carter. Additionally, ABC News’ Matt Gutman delivered a grim update on the destruction in the Pacific Palisades following a series of devastating wildfires.
However, the conversation took a deeply personal turn when the co-hosts responded to new guidance from the U.S. Surgeon General, warning that alcohol consumption is linked to at least seven types of cancer.

Sunny Hostin Gets Emotional Over Health Concerns
As the panel reacted to the Surgeon General’s report, the discussion initially had a lighthearted tone. Joy Behar fumbled through her statement about not being a big drinker, prompting Sara Haines to jokingly mimic her, pretending to slur, “I only drink before the show!”
Behar quickly fired back: “I’ve been on this show for 28 years, and I have never come on tipsy. And believe me, I could have.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin then added with a hint of sarcasm, “Congrats, at 11 in the morning…”
But the mood shifted when Hostin revealed how alcohol had become part of her routine.
“I remember you once asked me, ‘How’s it going?’ And I told you, ‘I have to drink a glass of wine every night just to get through this,’” she admitted.
As Behar playfully teased her about a moment of tipsiness at Whoopi Goldberg’s recent show opening, Hostin suddenly became serious.
“I’m rethinking everything now. We just can’t have nice things,” she said, referring to the unsettling new findings.
Hostin admitted she never realized alcohol was a major risk factor for cancer and had always believed that red wine was beneficial.
“Didn’t they always say red wine was good for your heart, good for your body, good for your soul?” she questioned, clearly shaken.
A Personal Wake-Up Call for Sara Haines
Haines then shared her own concerns, revealing that she had previously brushed off warnings about alcohol and cancer—until a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“She told me about the risk, and I was aware of it, but this article really woke me up,” Haines confessed.
She admitted to being an avid gin drinker, joking that she inherited the habit from her father. However, after reading the report, she made a conscious decision to switch to white wine, which has a lower alcohol content.
“It’s just baby steps, but it’s a start,” she said, as her co-hosts encouraged her decision.

A Movement Toward Sobriety?
Griffin also chimed in, praising the growing “sober curious” movement among younger generations and how television is starting to normalize non-drinking lifestyles.
“It’s actually really good for your long-term health. There are so many benefits to cutting back on alcohol,” she explained.
Behar, however, couldn’t resist adding a political spin, jokingly questioning whether alcohol consumption would spike during Donald Trump’s possible second term.
“Yes!” Hostin immediately exclaimed, momentarily breaking the tension with laughter.
Will Hostin Make a Major Lifestyle Change?
While the conversation ended on a somewhat lighter note, it was clear that Hostin was deeply affected by the discussion. The realization of alcohol’s link to cancer, combined with her recent medical tests, has left her reconsidering her habits and worrying about her future.
Could this emotional moment mark the beginning of a major lifestyle shift for the View co-host? Time will tell—but her raw honesty has certainly sparked an important conversation.
