Motown icon Alexander Morris is suing a Michigan hospital and two staff members, saying they assumed he was mentally ill and physically restrained him after he revealed his celebrity status.

Morris, a member of the Four Tops, says the shocking incident happened in April 2023, according to the lawsuit. Morris was taken to Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital by an ambulance after reporting chest pain and difficulty breathing. There, Morris says, he was denied treatment for his illness, restrained and profiled after informing staff he was a member of the Four Tops.
