The lead singer of the Four Tops says a Detroit-area hospital restrained him and ordered a psychological exam after refusing to believe that he was part of the Motown music group.

The lead singer of the Four Tops said a Detroit-area hospital restrained him and ordered a psychological exam after refusing to believe that he was part of the Motown music group.

Alexander Morris, who is Black, filed a lawsuit Monday against Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Warren, alleging racial discrimination and other misconduct during an April 2023 visit for chest pain and breathing problems.

Hospital staff “wrongfully assumed he was mentally ill when he revealed his identity as a celebrity figure,” the lawsuit says.

Morris is not an original member, but he joined the group in 2019.

The lawsuit says a nurse finally believed Morris was in the Four Tops and the psychological exam was canceled.

The hospital offered a $25 gift card as an apology, but Morris refused to accept it, the lawsuit says.

    Something similar happened to this Finnish chainsaw juggler. He had just come back from performing at Kim Jong-Un’s birthday and had a stubborn headache that wouldn’t go away. Straight to the mental ward.

    Article in Finnish, I’m sure Google translate does a decent job.

        I feel like googling his name would have sorted it all out.

      I mean he did go to North Korea to please that dictator. Must have at least a little bit of brain damage.
