What did Megyn Kelly say about Sunny Hostin?
On Monday's episode of her SiriusXM program, the 55-year-old journalist tore into Hostin, 57, over the viral bodycam exchange. Page Six reported Kelly accused Hostin of "dripping sanctimony and hypocrisy."
"No one's above the law, and everyone other than Sunny Hostin is swimming in privilege that she's very pissed off about," Kelly said. She called Hostin "disgusting" for how she handled the incident and said using her career that way is "not something most of us would do."
"Hell no. I would just never play that card," Kelly added. "Never. And this is what she does."
Kelly also argued Hostin and her Ivy League-educated son are extremely privileged despite Hostin's on-air talk about white privilege. "Most people's kids didn't go to Harvard," Kelly said, questioning whether Hostin's "View" profile helped Gabriel's path.
Why was Gabriel Hostin stopped by police?
On June 16, Sunny's 24-year-old son was detained beside Metro-North Railroad tracks in New Rochelle, New York, for "criminal trespassing." Gabriel told officers he was out for a run and saw a gate near the tracks open, according to footage and court records obtained by The Post.
Police told him they "dimmed down" the consequences for what they called "an arrestable offense," citing his cooperation and background while noting cameras left their "hands tied." He received a trespass violation. For more celebrity breaking news, follow BlasterPost's ongoing coverage.
How did Sunny Hostin respond at the scene?
When Hostin arrived, she told officers, "My name is Sunny Hostin and I'm one of the co-hosts of 'The View' and I'm a former federal prosecutor." She also said Gabriel graduated from Harvard in 2025 and insisted "he's not a kid who's ever in trouble."
Hostin later defended her son in a letter to Westchester Assistant District Attorney Amanda Greene obtained by TMZ, saying Gabriel faces "imposing unnecessary consequences" and "has demonstrated exceptional character and achievement."
What happens next in the trespassing case?
Gabriel is scheduled to return to court in New Rochelle on July 31. Sunny shares Gabriel and daughter Paloma, 20, with husband Emmanuel Hostin, an orthopedic surgeon; the couple have been married since August 1998.
Kelly's broadside keeps the bodycam clash in the spotlight, framing the dispute as a fight over privilege, accountability, and whether celebrity status belongs in a police stop.
