“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Shamea Morton is suing an Atlanta doctor and her company for medical malpractice after she says she now has “extensive permanent scarring” from a chemical peel.
Morton has filed suit against Jing Jing Wong Harris, M.D., her company Pretty Faces Atlanta, and other defendants, saying Morton “should never have undergone a chemical peel (or any ‘cosmetic pigment treatment’ like a peel, laser, etc.) due to her diagnosis of Tinea Versicolor, which is a fungal condition.”
Morton apparently had the peel in March 2024, where she claims Harris “applied double the amount of the chemical peel recommended by the manufacturer, resulting in second-degree chemical burns, blistering, and permanent scarring.”
Morton claimed she “cried in pain due to sensations she was experiencing.”
“[Morton’s] screams were so loud that [Harris], for the first time that day, entered the room where the procedure was being performed and inquired as to what was going on,” the suit said. “When [Morton] reported intense pain to [Harris], [Harris] told her that she was being dramatic.”
The lawsuit also claims that Harris should have referred Morton to another doctor after learning about her diagnosis.
“Instead, Plaintiff Shamea Morton-Mwangi should have been referred to a trained and qualified dermatologist for diagnoses, treatment recommendations, and clearance of any potential cosmetic procedure before undergoing a chemical peel. Cosmetic treatments like a peel should never have been performed when the condition is related to a fungal skin disease,” the complaint said.

Certain types of face peels, have become popular with Black Celebs for color lightening over the years.
Hmmm, she has VERY beautiful chocolate skin, she has very, very, very, extra dark skin, yet most of her photos as of recent (since housewives) you would never know
Hollywood will tell you, light skin sells,!!! & send a make up artist or another celeb to encourage you to try "certain plugged in Doctors" to help lighten you up
They say, it will get your more parts, more features, more endorsements, more roles, more screen time,MORE MONEY

I just don’t understand why melanated women would want such a thing done? Dermatologist don’t even recommend deeper chemical peels to be done on darker skin toned people unless done professionally (and with a doctor that that specializes in the treatment of darker skin tones). That alone would steer me away. She was better off trying one of those Asian skin care routine.
