WATCH THE VIDEO HERE 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, an insurance company primarily serving rideshare drivers. With an impeccable reputation in his field and decades of experience helping patients in need, Dr. Hostin has labeled the accusations as an attempt to shift focus from the insurer’s own fraudulent practices. Mark Geragos, Dr. Hostin’s attorney and a well-known figure in the legal world, unequivocally stated that the lawsuit has no merit. “This case is a clear-cut example of a company in financial distress trying to deflect attention from its own failures,” Geragos said in a statement. Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View and Dr. Hostin’s wife, also came to her husband’s defense. “American Transit is trying to avoid paying for necessary medical and surgical procedures for individuals in pain,” she asserted in a statement. The lawsuit, filed in February 2024, is part of a larger pattern of accusations against American Transit. Notably, Uber has also criticized the company for a “pattern and practice” of neglecting its obligations, including failing to resolve claims in a timely and fair manner. Sunny and Geragos argue that the suit against Dr. Hostin is a desperate attempt to shift blame, describing the company’s tactics as a “smear campaign.” “American Transit is on the verge of bankruptcy,” Sunny said. “They are using my husband’s name and my celebrity status to distract from their own wrongdoing. Our family will not be intimidated or harassed.” Sunny revealed that the Hostins plan to file a $5 million counterclaim for defamation, with the amount likely to increase as the reputational damage caused by American Transit continues. “Their baseless allegations have deeply harmed my husband’s professional standing,” Sunny added. Dr. Hostin’s dedication to his patients has never been in question. Known for his compassionate approach and expertise, he has helped countless individuals recover from debilitating injuries. Sunny pointed out that this commitment has made him a target for insurance companies looking to avoid fulfilling their financial obligations. “Insurance companies like American Transit make it nearly impossible for hardworking Americans to get the care they deserve by targeting doctors who fight for their patients,” she said. “Let me be clear: where I come from, American Transit will receive a PhD from FAFO University.” The Hostin family is demanding that American Transit withdraw its claims, compensate Dr. Hostin for the financial and reputational harm caused, and issue a public apology. Dr. Hostin’s supporters continue to stand behind him, confident that the truth will prevail and his reputation as a trusted physician will remain untarnished.
