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.

      Yeah it says that he “revealed himself as a celebrity” when he isn’t one. Sounds like he was drug seeking. You see that a lott honestly. People trying to get drugs for bullshit reasons and then calling you racist if you don’t give them to them. And now there’s no further discussion of whatever medical emergency he had? lol The guy was ranting about being part of a 70-year-old doo-wop group and calling himself a celebrity and I don’t blame anybody for thinking he was crazy.

      How do you think the subject of him being part of a singing group even came into the discussion when he was there for chest pain? And what happened with his medical emergency?
