Sunny Hostin’s Husband Accused Of Fraud In Major RICO Case

Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin, is facing allegations of fraud in a RICO lawsuit filed last month in New York City. The lawsuit accuses Hostin of billing for unnecessary medical procedures and accepting payments disguised as kickbacks.

Hostin is among nearly 200 defendants named in the case, which American Transit Insurance claims involves fraudulent billing practices for services provided to taxi and rideshare drivers. The lawsuit alleges that Hostin performed procedures that were not medically necessary and submitted inflated claims to the insurance company.

Hostin’s legal team has pushed back against the allegations, describing the lawsuit as baseless. His attorney, Daniel Thwaites, accused the insurance company of attempting to evade legitimate payment obligations and targeting healthcare providers unfairly. “This case is an attempt to intimidate and discredit doctors,” Thwaites said.

Sunny Hostin’s comments about her husband’s work have drawn attention in light of the lawsuit. In a segment from The View, she discussed his struggles with insurance companies, claiming he often has to sue to recover fees for his services. These remarks have sparked questions about whether they connect to the allegations outlined in the case.

As one of the largest RICO lawsuits filed in New York, the case could result in significant financial and legal consequences for the defendants. For Dr. Hostin, the accusations have placed his medical practice under intense scrutiny.

With the lawsuit moving forward, Sunny Hostin’s public platform and her husband’s legal battles are likely to remain in the spotlight.
