Sunny Hostin‘s husband, Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, has been accused of federal insurance fraud in a new lawsuit.

The orthopedic surgeon, who has owned and operated Hostin Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine since 2006, is among 200 defendants named in the suit. However, he is individually accused of getting “kickbacks” for performing surgeries and fraudulently billing insurance company American Transit, which primarily issues insurance for Uber and Lyft drivers as well as taxi companies.

The lawsuit, obtained by Entertainment Weekly, alleges that Manny “knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries to Covered Persons through Hostin Orthopaedics that he purportedly performed.” The suit also claims he fraudulently billed American Transit, which is listed as the plaintiff, “in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions.”

The doctor’s attorney Daniel Thwaites told The Daily Mail, which first reported the story, that he “denies each and every allegation” and described the complaint as a “blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a near-bankrupt insurance carrier.”

“It is meant to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given to American Transit insureds and their passengers,” the statement continued, per The Daily Mail. “American Transit has rushed into the lawsuit without ever conducting an examination of Dr. Hostin or expressing any concerns to his lawyers. The real story here is about an insurance carrier abusing the legal system to limit and restrict health care benefits to its insureds and their passengers, and write off its proper obligations.”

DECIDER has reached out to Sunny’s reps for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Sunny, who is a former prosecutor and current co-host on The View, tied the knot with Manny in 1998. They share two children.

While Manny is rather low-profile, his television personality wife often brings him up on the long-running daytime talk show. Just last March, she revealed that he has no problem talking “about his feelings with his friends.”

One thing is for sure: he’s definitely going to need his friends this week!

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
