THE View star Sunny Hostin has left fans stunned after snapping at her co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, during an episode of their daytime show earlier this week.
Viewers called out the heated moment between the hosts – slamming Alyssa’s behavior that led to Sunny’s angry response.

Shortly into Thursday’s episode of The View, the women dove into a political discussion about Chris Christie dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and which contenders remain.
After Alyssa was given a chance to share her thoughts on the presidential race, Sunny took her turn.
In the middle of sharing her thoughts, Joy Behar cracked a joke, cutting her off, but Sunny quickly told her, “Let me just finish.”
Getting back to making her point, she was once again interrupted, this time by Alyssa.
“One other thing,” Sunny said over Alyssa while pointing at her.
Alyssa didn’t let that deter her, though, and told Sunny, “We don’t really do identity politics as much.”
“Oh, yes you do!” Sunny shot back.
“I don’t. I literally never said it’s because she’s a woman,” Alyssa fired in response, referencing her backing of Nikki Haley.

Sunny didn’t even look at her co-star as she told her, “But your party does,” which led to both women talking over one another.
Whoopi Goldberg tried to get the hosts back on track and to make their point, and Sunny said she was trying to but was being “interrupted constantly.”
Enough chaos at the table had already taken place for fans at home to become annoyed.
“@Sunny just told @Alyssafarah off and it was needed…. Good for you @sunny,” wrote one viewer on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s @TheView not the Alyssa show.”
“For the love of God let Sunny make her point ladies,” a second fan tweeted.
A third wrote, “Sunny coming in HOT!!!!!!”
“Sunny is fed up and being interrupted constantly,” said another.
This is far from the first time fans have noticed a bit of animosity between the two hosts, nor is it the first time viewers have called out Alyssa for interrupting Sunny.
Last month, fans insisted they’d had enough of watching Alyssa on The View and begged the show to fire her.
Per usual, the hosts were intensely debating politics during the December 1 episode.
The panelists were having a seemingly civil discussion, and then it was Sunny Hostin’s turn.
At one point, Sunny began discussing California governor Gavin Newsom, but Alyssa started talking over her right in the middle of her co-star’s response.
“Final line of the night,” Alyssa said as she tried to cut off Sunny.
Sunny did not yield to her colleague, instead telling her kindly, “Just one second.”
The 55-year-old went back to what she was saying, but Alyssa quickly jumped back in as soon as she saw an opening.
Sara Haines also tried a few times to interrupt Sunny.
“Alyssa Farah Griffin must go. She does not research before she talks,” one annoyed fan tweeted.
“Again with the Republican Tokyo Rose Alyssa talking over everyone,” a second wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“Expel Alyssa from this table,” a third fan demanded.
