DailyMail.com was the first to report that Dr. Emmanuel 'Manny' Hostin, 54,  is among nearly 200 defendants named in one of the largest civil RICO cases ever filed in New York.

Now, The View co-host, has hit back at the insurance company for filing a 'frivolous lawsuit' against her partner, labeling it a 'desperate attempt to avoid paying for medical and surgical procedures for people it insures who were in pain,' she told Page Six on Monday. 

Dr. Hostin and many others are accused of getting kickbacks by performing surgery and fraudulently billing the company, American Transit, which insures taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers.

'Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries,' the lawsuit, filed on December 17, claims. 

The insurance firm was then billed 'in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions,' according to the legal filing. 

Attorney Mark Geragos, who the couple hired last week to help represent them and their family, sent a letter to American Transit's legal team Sunday, threatening to countersue for $5million if they do not withdraw the case and apologize, the outlet reported.

Sunny, who is also an attorney, has warned that the price could rise, noting that $5million is 'an amount that is likely to increase as the reputational damage that American Transit has intentionally caused is difficult to quantify at this time.' 

Additionally, Sunny, 56, has blasted the insurance company for starting  a 'disgusting media smear campaign against my husband, which included me and our children.' 

Together, Sunny and Dr. Hostin share two children - son Gabriel Hostin, 22 and Paloma Hostin, 18. 

'American Transit is harassing me and my family in a frantic attempt to not pay its bills. Our family will not be intimidated and harassed. We remain unbowed,' she added. 

Sunny went on to accuse the insurer of 'engaging in despicable tactics like harassing doctors.'
