Megyn Kelly Calls Sunny Hostin "Disgusting" for Name-Dropping 'The View' During Son's Trespassing Incident

Bodycam footage released this week captured‘The View’co-host Sunny Hostin introducing herself to police as both a television personality and former federal prosecutor when responding to her son Gabriel’s trespassing detention near railroad tracks in New Rochelle, New York. Gabriel, 24 and a Harvard graduate, was found on Metro-North property in June after allegedly entering through an open gate while running. The incident might have stayed relatively quiet, but Megyn Kelly decided Monday to air her thoughts on SiriusXM, calling Sunny’s actions“disgusting”and accusing her of wielding her celebrity status to influence law enforcement.

Kelly’s criticism cuts deeper than just the immediate situation. She pointed out the glaring contradiction between Sunny’s on-air commentary about white privilege and systemic inequality versus her real-world use of that exact privilege to help her son. According to bodycam audio, Sunny also emphasized Gabriel’s Harvard education to officers, adding another layer to Kelly’s argument about Sunny leveraging every advantage available to her. Gabriel ultimately received a trespass violation rather than an arrest, with officers noting his cooperation and clean background as mitigating factors. But the question hanging over everything is whether those mitigating factors would have mattered as much if his mother wasn’t a recognizable television personality.

Sunny has defended her son in a letter to the Westchester Assistant District Attorney, arguing that Gabriel is facing unnecessary consequences despite his exceptional character and achievements. Gabriel is scheduled to return to court on July 31. What do you think—did Gabriel get the treatment he deserved based on his behavior, or did his mom’s status play a bigger role than anyone’s willing to admit?
