Lawsuit Accuses Sunny Hostin’s Husband Of Fraudulent Insurance Practices

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.

Sunny Hostin’s previous comments about her husband’s work have resurfaced amid the allegations. In a segment on The View, she described his frequent legal battles with insurance companies, claiming he often has to sue to recover unpaid fees. Critics have pointed to these remarks as potentially relevant to the case.

The lawsuit, one of the largest RICO filings in New York’s history, could have significant consequences for the defendants, including Dr. Hostin. The allegations also place increased scrutiny on Sunny Hostin, who has often advocated for accountability in her public appearances.

As the case moves forward, both Dr. Hostin and Sunny Hostin face mounting public and legal challenges stemming from the high-profile nature of the accusations.
