Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, made headlines after making an explosive claim about former First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday’s episode. Hostin alleged that Melania Trump “hates” her husband, Donald Trump, and wants to “take him out.” The statement came during a discussion on Melania’s pro-abortion stance, which Hostin believes is a direct challenge to Trump.

While discussing Melania’s support for abortion rights, Hostin shared her theory that the former First Lady’s stance stems from her supposed disdain for her husband. Hostin stated, “She doesn’t want to be the First Lady anymore. She doesn’t want anything to do with him.” Her comments were met with immediate responses from co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, who urged caution, but Hostin doubled down on her theory.
Hostin’s remarks quickly went viral, sparking a firestorm on social media. The Trump War Room account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a clip of the segment, calling Hostin’s comments “disgusting.” The heated online debate brought attention to the often intense political discourse surrounding the Trump family.
Despite the controversy, Hostin’s remarks were not backed by any direct statements from Melania Trump herself. The claim has left viewers divided, with some defending Hostin’s right to free speech and others condemning her comments as unfounded and disrespectful.
