Last week tonight, presenter John Oliver is being sued for the comments he made about a former medical director.

Dr. Brian Morley, once a medical director of Amerihealth Caritas, is demanding Oliver and his production company, claiming that Emmy’s winning comedian took his words grotesquely out of context, irreparably damaging his career and reputation.

In the center of the lawsuit there is Oliver’s statement made in an episode transmitted in 2024 that Morley ‘thinks that they are fine if people have gone for days’.

The line was issued during an abrasing segment on the abuse of medical and handling cost care, and was followed by Oliver’s response: ‘F *** that doctor with a rusty canoe. I hope you get tetanus from the balls.

Like many other comments on Oliver’s HBO program, it was full of sarcasm and, but according to Morley’s legal team, he crossed a line and ignored the truth.

Morley’s defamation lawsuit that appeared in a federal court on Friday argues that Oliver and his team intentionally twisted his testimony of painting him as a cold and negligent villain willing to let patients with disabilities rot in their own waste.

The legal presentation continues to state that Morley never said that it was “well” or medically appropriate for people who use diapers or that they are otherwise motionless “to have them for days”, and calls Oliver’s characterization a malicious distortion of what Morley really said at an administrative hearing in Iowa.

During the episode, Oliver presented the history of Louis Facenda Jr., a 25 -year -old Iowan with cerebral palsy that lost access to crucial services from Medicaid.

Last week tonight, host John Oliver is being sued for the comments he made about a former medical director, and one who involved accusations of negligence, body waste and a desire for the doctor to contract ‘tetanus of the balls’

In the center of the lawsuit is Oliver’s claim made in an episode transmitted in 2024 made by Dr. Brian Morley. The comments were first reported by the DES MOINS Registry

The cuts saw Facenda lose elderly visits to help you bathe and change diapers after Amerihealth Caritas reduced payments. For six weeks, he left without medications and regular care.

Oliver contrasted this with Morley’s testimony in 2017 on another patient, Nathan McDonald, whose home visits had also been cut twice a day five times a week.

“People have intestinal movements every day where they are not cleaned completely, and we don’t care about them too much,” Morley testified, according to the DES Moines registry.

Oliver interpreted the audio of Morley’s testimony in the program. “People are allowed to be dirty … You know, it would allow you to be a bit dirty for a couple of days.”

Court documents indicate how Morley “did not equals cleaning badly with leaving someone sitting in their own feces for days” and actually “testified to the opposite,” says the lawsuit.

Oliver seemed to want to use the clip to capture the cold logic of the reduction of corporate costs at the expense of human dignity, but Morley insists that the statement he made was very misunderstood.

In a meticulous breakdown, the lawsuit states that Morley’s comments were about outpatient people who are not prostrate or dependent on home care.

Morley’s suit insists that he was referring to “the average individual that is independently mobile but does not clean perfectly, not someone who uses diapers or who otherwise puts himself in his own intestinal movements.”

Like many other comments on Oliver’s HBO program, it was full of sarcasm and ingenuity, but according to Morley’s legal team, he also crossed a line and ignored the truth

Morley was not referring to patients destined for wheel or incontinent chairs, insists his legal equipment.

The episode in question, entitled ‘Medicaid’, was issued in April 2024 and delivered one of Oliver’s most passionate attacks against corporate medical care in recent years.

Citing reports of a “900 percent increase in members who are illegally denied services,” Oliver criticized private insurers hired to administer Medicaid services in states such as Iowa.

The segment was widely praised by defenders for drawing attention to administered care abuses, but Morley states that the price of that exhibition was its personal and professional ruin.

He says he received threats, harassment and reputation damage, and now requires a complete retraction, elimination of the episode of all transmission platforms and monetary damage to be determined by a jury.
