Four Tops Singer Says ‘Racist’ Hospital Staff Put Him in a Straitjacket
The lead singer of an iconic Motown music group has accused a Detroit-area hospital for racial discrimination after he revealed his celebrity status to employees—and they responded by putting him in a straitjacket.
Rather than taking the Four Tops’ Alexander Morris’ identity seriously, hospital workers allegedly restrained the musician and told him to “sit his Black ass down.”
“They thought I was delusional,” Morris, who is Black, told Fox 2 Detroit. “I believe that it was initiated by racism.”
