Emmanuel Hostin Sued for Insurance Fraud

Emmanuel Hostin, the husband of 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin, is facing serious allegations of federal insurance fraud in one of New York's largest RICO cases, involving nearly 200 defendants. The lawsuit accuses him of performing unnecessary surgeries and submitting fraudulent medical claims to the insurance company American Transit, which specializes in insuring taxi and ride-share drivers. Emmanuel's attorney has vehemently denied all allegations, labeling the lawsuit a 'meritless' effort by a financially troubled insurance carrier to intimidate healthcare providers. American Transit is seeking over $450 million in damages, claiming rampant fraud due to New York's No-Fault Law. The case highlights broader issues of alleged healthcare fraud in the state, with American Transit asserting that such practices exploit the system to inflate medical costs. Sunny Hostin, married to Emmanuel since 1998, has not publicly commented on the lawsuit but has previously shared personal challenges, including the loss of family members to COVID-19.
