Emmanuel addressed the allegations through his attorney, Daniel John Thwaiteswho told the Daily Mail that his client “denies all allegations.”
Thwaites added that the legal proceedings were “a blanket, dispersion, a flawless legal proceedings from an almost banked insurance carrier.”
“He is supposed to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given to American transit insurers and their passengers,” continued Thwaites. “American Transit has rushed to the legal proceedings without ever carrying out an examination of Dr. Hostin or expressing any concerns to his lawyers. This real story relates to an insurance carrier abuses the legal system to limit and restrict the benefits of healthcare to their insurers and travelers, and eliminate its appropriate obligations.”

“In an attempt to poison a public opinion fountain because he does not have a valid case against my husband, American Transit used my fame status to start the abominable media mouth campaign against my husband, which included me and our children,” he said. “They plastered pictures of our family across tabloid publications.
American Transit is disturbed by my family in a wild attempt not to pay his bills. Our family will not be intimidated and disturbed. We remain unmatched. “
Hostin confirmed her to keep Mark Geragos As his attorney has “put an American transit at notice and will file a $ 5 million legal case for their defamatory claims, it is difficult to quantify an amount likely to increase as the reputation damage that American transit has deliberately caused is currently causing.”
“Furthermore, we insist that they withdraw these false allegations, pay my husband what he owes and announce a public apology,” continued Sunny. “Insurance companies like American Transit make a healthcare system that has already broken almost impossible for Americans to steer and get good healthcare by participating in contemptible tactics such as doctors harassment. Let me be clear, from where I come from, American Transit will receive a PhD from a FAFO University.”
American Transit Insurance Company has withdrawn his legal case against Emmanuel in July, 2025.
According to a statement issued to Ew, The AITC said he “voluntarily withdrawn the suit against Dr. Hostin, and rejected the legal proceedings with prejudice.”
“Furthermore, Atic deeply regrets any public speculation against Dr. Emmanuel Hostin, his wife, sunny Hostin, or his children, who may have resulted from the legal proceedings,” he read the statement.
