Dr. Brian Morley , a hospital administrator and former medical director for AmeriHealth Caritas in Iowa , is accused of thinking “it’s OK if people have st on them for days .” The complaint, filed late last week in the New York Southern District Court , claims that Oliver and his team “entirely snipped out of context and manipulated two sentences of Morley 's testimony’ during an administrative proceeding so that they could “accomplish their defamation,” the suit says.

Morley “did not equate wiping poorly with leaving anyone sitting in their own feces for days ”.

Morley is demanding a retraction, removal of the episode from all platforms, and compensatory damages.

This is not the first time Oliver has faced a lawsuit.

In 2017 , coal company CEO Bob Murray filed a suit against Oliver and his show after an episode called out Murray and his mining company for failing to protect his miners.
