Cynthia Erivo Confronts Sunny Hostin Over Controversial Cornell Remarks
Erivo told Hostin to frame her Cornell remarks with empathy after criticism over comments on sexual assault allegations involving seven fraternity members.
- On Monday, The View co-host Sunny Hostin revealed on the Behind the Table podcast that actress Cynthia Erivo called her expressing concerns over Hostin's viral segment discussing the Cornell 7 sexual assault case.
- Hostin faced intense backlash last week when she told viewers it was "important to understand why the DA did not bring a case" in 2024, citing New York law regarding voluntary intoxication as a legal barrier.
- From Paris, Erivo told her, "Sis, I know you and I know your heart and your life's work has been about protecting women and children." The actress advised Hostin to lead with empathy when discussing legal matters.
- Adopting the advice, Hostin explained she "needed, I felt, to bring us back to this New York law, which is really terrible and needs to be changed," while clarifying she would have prosecuted the case.
- The broader Cornell University case involves a student identified as Jane Doe, who filed a lawsuit this year against the university and seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, which remains barred from campus.
