Sunny Hostin Cites Legal Background After Son Stopped for Trespassing

Sunny Hostin, a co-host of the talk show "The View," was captured on bodycam video speaking with transit police after her son, Gabriel Hostin, was cited for trespassing. The incident occurred when police stopped Gabriel at a New York City subway station. In the footage, Hostin identifies herself as a former federal prosecutor while interacting with officers from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The video, obtained by a news outlet, shows Hostin calmly discussing the situation with law enforcement. She mentions her legal experience, likely in an attempt to explain the circumstances. The trespassing citation was issued to her son, but no further details about the specific reason for the stop have been released. Hostin, a lawyer and television personality, has been a co-host on "The View" since 2016. She previously worked as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The incident has drawn attention due to her public profile and her reference to her legal background. As of now, neither Hostin nor her son have made public statements about the citation. The MTA police have not commented further on the matter.
