"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin responded to the insurance fraud allegations facing her husband on Tuesday, arguing the company who filed the lawsuit had a history of frivolous claims.

Dr. Emmanuel Hostin, a highly respected orthopedic and sports medicine specialist in New York and husband to The View’s Sunny Hostin, is fighting back against what his legal team calls unfounded fraud allegations brought by American Transit,

"We have put American Transit on notice and will file a five-million-dollar counter lawsuit for their defamatory claims," Hostin said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE

Dr. Hostin was accused in a Dec. 17, 2024 suit filed by American Transit of getting “kickbacks” for surgeries and fraudulently billing the company, which insures taxi companies, Uber and Lyft drivers, among others. He is one of 200 defendants named in the suit.

The year 2025 is already shaping up to be problematic for “The View” host Sunny Hostin and her husband Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin thanks to a new lawsuit.

Emmanuel is an orthopedic surgeon based out of New York City with nearly 29 years of experience. He graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1996 and is the owner of Hostin Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, a practice the surgeon established in Manhattan in 2006.

The View star and legal expert Sunny Hostin responded forcefully to a recent lawsuit that accuses her husband, Dr. Emmanuel Hostin, of insurance fraud.

View is heading into its second weekend and is debating a topic inspired by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. On the most recent episode of the Bravo reality series, Dorit Kemsley took issue with Kyle Richards about still exchanging messages with her estranged husband.

While “DEI” normally stands for “diversity, equity and inclusion,” Hostin said that when applied to Trump, it actually stands for “didn’t earn it.” Pointing to Trump

Sunny Hostin mentioned her husband, Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, for the first time on The View since he was accused of insurance fraud in a federal lawsuit earlier this week. During a Hot Topics segment on this morning’s episode of the hit daytime talk show, Hostin revealed why she opted to marry someone younger than her.

While Hostin stayed far from inauguration coverage yesterday, her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was plugged in while covering the event as a political analyst for CNN. Her takeaway? It’s time to stop using the phrase “normalizing Donald Trump,” because all of this is, well, normal now.
