Fresh humiliation for NY doctor being sued by his stripper mistress as excruciating new secrets about his cheating past emerge
A New York doctor, Keith Hoerning, being sued by a former stripper mistress for allegedly reneging on promises made during their affair, has been further embarrassed by revelations that his current marriage began under strikingly similar circumstances. Sources told the Daily Mail that Hoerning left his first wife nearly a decade ago for a young medical assistant at his Long Island practice, having assured her she was his "true love", only for that second marriage now to be rocked by his affair with stripper Rosana Kissoon. The parallel has drawn attention because it undercuts Hoerning's public defence, suggesting a pattern of behaviour rather than an isolated lapse.
Hoerning, then 42 and a married father of three, began an affair with 24-year-old employee Nicole Elliot in 2017, divorcing his first wife, Michele Carrieri, despite objections from both families, and marrying Nicole soon after. Kissoon, 39, has since filed a lawsuit in Suffolk County Supreme Court seeking over $1 million in damages, alleging an 18-month affair after they met at the strip club where she worked, and claiming Hoerning tried to have her arrested after she told Nicole. Hoerning denies wrongdoing, has moved to dismiss the case, and accuses Kissoon of blackmail, citing text messages he says show her demanding money for silence.

Married father-of-three New York doctor Keith Hoerning is being sued by Rosana Kissoon, a former stripper he allegedly had an 18-month affair with, after she claims he reneged on promises made during their relationship. Kissoon has filed a lawsuit in Suffolk County Supreme Court seeking more than $1 million in damages, and alleges Hoerning tried to have her arrested once his wife found out about the affair.
The case has drawn wider attention because it echoes how Hoerning's current marriage began. Around 2017, he reportedly left his first wife, Michele Carrieri, for Nicole Elliot, a much younger medical assistant at his practice, after telling her she was his "true love" – a pattern now being compared to his relationship with Kissoon.
Hoerning denies any wrongdoing in the Kissoon case, has asked the court to dismiss it, and says he has text messages showing she tried to extort money from him in exchange for staying silent.
