Celebrity matchmaker sued over fake dates

A former teen model has slapped a TV matchmaker with a lawsuit, calling him a “fraud” who failed to fix her up with a mate.

Julie Hyman, now a successful lawyer in her 40s, claims in a Manhattan civil suit that Matt Titus of the former Lifetime reality show “Matched in Manhattan” has “ripped off millions from . . . women by using his celebrity status to claim legitimacy.”

The Riverdale, Bronx, resident says she shelled out more than $16,000 to Titus, who has appeared as an expert on “The Tyra Banks Show,” “The Wendy Williams Show” and others.
