We’re not going to pay a nickel to her, and at the end of the day, she’s going to find out that she picked the wrong person,
defense attorney Bruce Barket stated regarding a new legal filing. Rosana Kissoon, a 39-year-old Long Island stripper who previously sued her physician ex-lover for allegedly filing a restraining order after she informed his wife of their affair, has expanded her legal action with serious medical malpractice claims against Dr. Keith Hoerning.
According to an updated version of her June lawsuit filed on October 28, 2026, Kissoon alleges that the 51-year-old family physician supplied her with an antidepressant, weight loss treatments, and a cocktail of peptide shots during their roughly year-and-a-half relationship. Kissoon claims the doctor initiated the medical regimen in October 2025 at his medical office, where he taught her how to self-administer the peptide shots, many of which were not FDA-approved. Court papers state that the treatment continued in a hotel room, a parking lot, and over WhatsApp without a chart, examination, or fee for eight months.
Allegations of Abrupt Cessation and Health Impacts
The lawsuit states that after Kissoon informed Hoerning’s 34-year-old wife, Nicole Hoerning, about the affair in late May, the doctor reported Kissoon to the police and ended their relationship. The filing claims that Hoerning’s supply and supervision of the treatment ended abruptly, causing Kissoon to stop every product without instructions or a taper. The suit alleges this sudden cessation wreaked havoc on her stomach, caused behavioral and mood changes, and resulted in chest and shoulder pain that has led to evaluations for potential heart issues. Court papers also note that Kissoon has been attending counseling since June.
Defense Response and Allegations of a Cash Grab
Hoerning’s legal representation strongly rejected the allegations, characterizing the updated lawsuit as a baseless attempt to shake down the physician and smear him in the press. Barket acknowledged that his client engaged in an affair after meeting Kissoon at her stripping job on Long Island, stating that Hoerning did nothing wrong other than what he obviously did wrong, which is engaging with a stripper.
However, Barket maintained that none of the other claims are true and asserted that Hoerning had previously made payments to Kissoon to prevent her from exposing the affair. According to the defense lawyer, once those payments stopped, Kissoon released the information to the press. It’s based entirely on lies, and it’s frivolous. She has no damages, nothing happened to this woman other than her gravy train stopped,
Barket said.
