Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin, is named in a major RICO lawsuit alleging fraudulent medical practices. The case, filed in December, accuses Hostin and nearly 200 others of submitting false insurance claims and accepting improper payments.
The lawsuit centers on allegations that Hostin performed unnecessary medical procedures and billed American Transit Insurance for inflated amounts. Prosecutors claim these actions were part of a larger scheme involving disguised financial kickbacks.
Hostin’s attorney, Daniel Thwaites, has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a baseless attempt to avoid paying legitimate claims. “This is a calculated effort to target healthcare providers and restrict access to care,” Thwaites said in a statement.
