Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, orthopedic surgeon and husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin, is named in a sprawling RICO lawsuit filed in New York City. The lawsuit accuses Hostin and nearly 200 other defendants of engaging in fraudulent medical practices and improper billing schemes.
The case, filed on December 17, alleges that Hostin billed American Transit Insurance for unnecessary procedures and received disguised payments in return. Prosecutors claim the fraudulent activities targeted the insurance company, which primarily serves rideshare and taxi drivers.
Hostin’s attorney, Daniel Thwaites, called the lawsuit meritless and accused the insurance company of using legal tactics to avoid paying legitimate claims. “This case is designed to intimidate doctors and restrict care for patients,” Thwaites said.
