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.

Hostin and his practice, Hostin Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, were named in a major RICO case among nearly 200 other defendants.

Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, the husband of “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, has been named in what has been called “a major RICO case” by multiple media outlets.

Sunny Hostin and her husband, Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, have been by each other’s side through ups and downs.

Sunny and Emmanuel married in 1998 and share two children, Gabe (22) and Paloma (18). Sunny, an attorney and long-time co-host on The View, frequently speaks about her husband on the ABC morning show, including last month when discussing the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The husband of longtime co-host of “The View,” Sunny Hostin, is among dozens of doctors and others accused of medical insurance fraud.

The suit alleges that Hostin and others received kickbacks for performing surgery and fraudulently billed the insurance company American Transit, the Daily Mail reported. The company insures Lyft and Uber drivers along with taxi companies.

After a lengthy holiday break, Sunny Hostin and the other ladies returned this week with all-new episodes of The View. As Monsters and Critics reported, Sunny brought some gifts back for the ladies, but the gift exchange turned awkward when Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines regifted them immediately.
