After Rightmyer recorded and posted her interaction with Smigo on TikTok, its depiction of conflict between a Black, Muslim pregnant woman and a white health-care provider drew outrage. Smigo examined Rightmyer’s cervix in a procedure the patient described as aggressive, and wouldn’t give her a note, according to TikTok videos Rightmyer made.
Smigo called police on the patient; they showed up but made no arrests, Kutz said. In her account, Rightmyer said she asked for a second opinion and during one exchange called Smigo a “weirdo,” which prompted the nurse to call police.What’s on video “But how do you know how my body feels? My legs? My back? How do you know how that feels? How you know how my nausea feels? How you know how my cramps feel?” Rightmyer responded.Kutz disputed that Smigo assaulted Rightmyer.“A woman of color simply requested adequate prenatal and medical care, to no avail,” the suit states. “Plaintiff’s requests were met with discrimination, hostility and abuse from Defendants’ staff.
