IT’S 2026, but a Michigan hospital is again under the spotlight for snooping in a celebrity’s records, after Josh Clarke of Josh and Jase spoke publicly about a privacy breach in which staff allegedly entered his room while he was treated, asking for selfies. The incident is linked to McLaren Northern Michigan in Petoskey, where the hospital appears to be the single ER site in the area, though the hospital has not publicly confirmed the breach.
Josh Clarke’s account has been reported by media coverage, which quoted him describing witnesses and the inappropriate access to his personal information while he was medicated and in pain. DataBreaches[.]net said it had submitted an inquiry to the hospital seeking confirmation and details of any corrective actions, but no reply had been received at the time of the post.
This development is noted under insider and HIPAA categories on the site, and the article cites a related report from 9and10news[.]com as the source of the breach claim, according to 9and10news[.]com.
