Overview
- Morton and her husband filed a medical malpractice suit on October 31 in Fulton County Superior Court against Dr. Jing Jing Wong Harris, Pretty Faces Atlanta, and other defendants.
- The complaint says a March 13, 2024 chemical peel caused second-degree burns, blistering, and permanent scarring on Morton’s back and arms.
- Her suit contends the peel should have been avoided due to a Tinea versicolor diagnosis and that a referral to a dermatologist was the appropriate course.
- She alleges a third-party provider performed an overly strong peel without Dr. Harris’s supervision, and that her reports of intense pain were minimized before an unknown spray was applied.
- The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and includes injury photos, with Morton’s attorney pledging to pursue full legal remedies; no defendant response is reported in the coverage.
