A Long Island stripper is pushing back against a married doctor’s claim that she threatened him with a gun photo, saying the image was actually a picture of a Scarface poster. The dispute, now playing out in Suffolk County court, has exposed a bitter breakup between family physician Keith Hoerning and Rosana Kissoon that spilled from private messages into police paperwork and a lawsuit.
Kissoon, 39, says Hoerning, 51, tried to turn the courts and police against her after their extramarital relationship fell apart. Her lawsuit claims the doctor, who she says had an 18-month affair with her, made repeated declarations of love and provided substantial financial support during the relationship. The filing also says Hoerning later filed a restraining order application filled with false allegations, including that she threatened to send hired goons after him and sent a menacing gun image.
In her court filing, Kissoon says the photo was not a weapon at all. She identified it as a framed Scarface movie poster, specifically a 20th Anniversary Edition image of Al Pacino holding a prop firearm. The lawsuit presents that detail as part of her argument that Hoerning exaggerated or invented threats as the relationship collapsed. She contends the image was mischaracterized in the legal fight that followed her decision to tell his wife about the affair.
According to the suit, Hoerning’s shift came after Kissoon contacted his wife, Nicole Hoerning, who is listed as a defendant in the case. The filing says his lawyer sent Kissoon a cease-and-desist letter on May 15 telling her to stop contacting him or his family. It also says he continued messaging her until May 26, when she called his wife. On that same day, the suit says, Hoerning made about eighteen outgoing calls to Kissoon’s cellphone.
The next day, Hoerning filed a criminal complaint with Suffolk County police accusing Kissoon of aggravated harassment. He also filed a family offense petition that accused her of threatening to rip his wife’s face off and said she had sent the gun photo. That petition led to a temporary order requiring Kissoon to surrender her weapons. Kissoon’s lawsuit disputes that claim too, saying a police records check returned a negative pistol license result and that she never held a handgun license.
