'The View' host Sunny Hostin's surgeon husband facing years-long legal battle in fraud case
Fox News
The lawsuit filed against husband of 'The View' host Sunny Hostin and more than 180 others is deeply complex, and could carry a hefty price tag for the individuals involved.
It cites at least two of Hostin's patients who were allegedly treated in January 2023 following involvement in "low-impact" collisions that caused only minimal damage. Despite experiencing "no more than soft-tissue injuries," both received arthroscopic surgery, the lawsuit said. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
The lawsuit was filed under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, in the Eastern District of New York— a strategy that legal experts told Fox News Digital is designed to have a chilling effect on behavior. It's also one that risks entangling defendants such as Hostin in years of complex court proceedings— and potentially saddling them with massive payouts as a result.
