“The View” hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro have reportedly been cleared to return to the show this week after their COVID-19 tests were found to be false positives.
Hostin, 52, and Navarro, 49, were ushered off the set on Friday after finding out their test results. Vice President Kamala Harris, who was set to appear as a guest, ended up doing the interview remotely elsewhere in the ABC building.
ABC insiders told Page Six on Sunday that Hostin is expected to return to the show Monday, while part-time host Navarro is expected to be back for her Thursday and Friday appearances.
“[Parent company] Disney said they’re clear,” one source told Page Six. “No quarantining is necessary.”
Navarro took to Instagram on Saturday, saying she took three PCR tests for COVID-19 and tested negative each time.
“Obviously what happened yesterday was a false positive,” she said.
In another Instagram post, Navarro thanked fans for their well-wishes and also addressed “the haters.”
“To the haters, I don’t give a f***,” she said. “Keep on hating. It doesn’t make a chink in my armor. I am so happy that I am vaccinated and to know the protection that that gives me. So please get vaccinated.”
Sources told Page Six that Hostin and Navarro were upset that their test results were announced on air.
“They were pissed because everyone’s been waiting for this big interview for two weeks now, and then it was derailed because of a false positive,” one source said.
