Overview

• The June 18 episode of The View featured former co-host Debbie Matenopoulos sharing dishes from her new cookbook GREEK.ish, one of which contained walnuts that Hostin is severely allergic to.
• Hostin realized she had ingested walnuts after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin confirmed their presence and she scribbled a “death note” to warn her colleagues.
• Executive producer Brian Teta signaled for help and Disney nurses administered an EpiPen and Benadryl immediately after the segment wrapped.
• Hostin recounted the harrowing ordeal on the June 20 broadcast, praising the medical team’s swift action and expressing gratitude to her co-hosts.
• Co-hosts have since voiced relief at her recovery and underscored the importance of clear allergy communication and prompt medical intervention.
