Sunny Hostin Leaves Husband Stunned with Bold Declaration—Says She’d File for Divorce If “That Person” Came Back!
Sunny Hostin shocked The View audience by revealing she would divorce her husband if a certain someone reentered her life. Who is this mystery person, and why does she feel so strongly about it?
A Heated Discussion About Breakups Takes an Unexpected Turn
During a lively episode of The View on Friday, December 6, the co-hosts debated the worst ways to break up with someone—all sparked by Sylvester Stallone’s past admission that he once ended a relationship via FedEx. The panelists weighed in on whether a breakup should always happen in person or if a written message is actually the kinder choice.
Co-host Sara Haines took a lighthearted stance, joking that she would have simply mailed the letter with a regular stamp instead of paying for FedEx. She even referenced Sex and the City’s infamous Post-It breakup scene, saying:
“If you need to end things through a text, a letter, or even a sticky note, do what you have to do!”
But the conversation took a dramatic twist when Sunny Hostin opened up about her own painful past breakup—one that still weighs on her decades later.

Sunny Hostin Calls Out the Ex Who Broke Her Heart
Hostin, known for her honest and emotional storytelling, admitted she has never been the one to end a relationship. Instead, she’s always been on the receiving end.
“I’ve always been the break-ee. I don’t break up with people; they break up with me,” she confessed. “And every single time, it happens in person, and I just cry.”
At that point, Joy Behar pressed for details, prompting Hostin to name-drop the ex who broke her heart in a particularly devastating way.
“Erik Council—on New Year’s Eve! We were supposed to go to a party, I was all dressed up, feeling cute. He came over looking super casual, which I thought was odd. Then he told me, ‘I want to start the new year off right… but that’s going to be without you.’”
The View studio erupted in shock, with Joy Behar even taking notes on the name:
“Wait, let me write this down… how do you spell that?”
To ensure no one forgot, Hostin doubled down:
“It’s Erik with a K. C-O-U-N-C-I-L.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin tried to comfort Hostin by suggesting that a cold, impersonal breakup—like a text—might actually be easier because it helps cut off emotions quickly.
But Hostin, still clearly bitter about the experience, disagreed, declaring:
“Honestly, I would have preferred a FedEx letter! Anything but breaking up on New Year’s Eve!”
And then came the jaw-dropping moment—Hostin admitted that even now, she’s still not fully over it.
“I was 19… and I’m STILL not over it!”
