Dr. Emmanuel Hostin Accused of Insurance Fraud
In December 2024, Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, a prominent orthopedic surgeon and husband of ‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin, was named in a federal lawsuit alleging insurance fraud. The lawsuit, filed by the American Transit Insurance Company, accuses Dr. Hostin and nearly 200 other defendants of providing fraudulent medical services and improperly billing the insurer, which primarily covers ride-share drivers. The suit claims that Dr. Hostin received kickbacks disguised as dividends or cash distributions.

Sources close to the television personality reveal that she feels “helpless” and “devastated” by the situation, expressing concerns about her ability to support her husband during this challenging time. Despite the turmoil, Sunny has publicly defended Dr. Hostin, criticizing the lawsuit as a baseless attempt by the insurance company to avoid fulfilling legitimate claims. She has announced plans to countersue for $5 million in damages, demanding a public apology and withdrawal of the allegations.
