ABC Legal Parts Ways with The View Co-Host Sunny Hostin: “She’s a Lawsuit Waiting to Happen”

In a shocking turn of events, ABC Legal has terminated the contract of The View co-host, Sunny Hostin, citing concerns that she is a “lawsuit waiting to happen.”

According to insiders at the network, Hostin has been a liability for some time due to her tendency to speak her mind on controversial topics.

“Let’s just say that Sunny isn’t exactly known for her tact,” one source said. “She has a habit of saying things that can get us in trouble, and that’s not something we’re willing to risk.”

The decision to let Hostin go was reportedly made after a recent episode of The View in which she made comments about a high-profile court case that some felt were inappropriate.

“Sunny went off on a tangent about the case and made some statements that could be seen as defamatory,” the source said. “We knew right then and there that we had to take action.”

The news of Hostin’s termination has sparked outrage among her fans and supporters, many of whom see it as a violation of her freedom of speech.

“ABC is just trying to silence Sunny because they don’t like what she has to say,” one fan tweeted. “This is a travesty.”

Others, however, see the move as a necessary step to protect the network from potential legal trouble.

“At the end of the day, ABC has to look out for its own interests,” one industry expert said. “If they feel that Sunny is a liability, then they have every right to terminate her contract.”

As for Hostin, she has yet to comment publicly on her dismissal. But sources close to her say that she is devastated by the news and is considering legal action against ABC.

“She feels like she’s been unfairly targeted,” one insider said. “But she’s also a fighter, so don’t be surprised if she takes this all the way to court.”

For now, The View will continue on without Hostin, but the show will no doubt feel the impact of her absence. Whether or not ABC made the right decision in letting her go remains to be seen.
