Alexander Morris, the current lead singer of the Motown group the Four Tops, is suing a Detroit-area hospital for racial discrimination and misconduct. Morris claims that during an April 2023 visit for chest pain and breathing problems, hospital staff refused to believe he was a member of the Four Tops and instead assumed he was mentally ill, ordering a psychological exam. Jessica Reyes and Patricia Wu break down Morris’s story with guest, Jerry Levine.
The lawsuit alleges that a nurse eventually recognized Morris, leading to the cancellation of the exam. Morris refused the hospital’s apology in the form of a $25 gift card and has spoken publicly about the incident. The hospital has denied the allegations of racial discrimination and declined to comment on pending litigation.pen_sparktunesharemore_vert
