Linda Fairstein Sues Netflix, Ava DuVernay Over ‘When They See Us’

Published: Wednesday 18th Mar 2020 by Rashad

‘When They See Us,’ the Netflix miniseries that recounted the reported mishandling of the infamous Central Park Five case of the late 1980’s, has become one of the streaming giant’s most critically acclaimed offerings since arriving on the platform in summer 2019.

Yet, despite its ongoing fanfare, there’s one the award-winning, Ava Duvernay special shouldn’t expect a “thumbs up” from – author Linda Fairstein (the former Manhattan District Attorney’s office prosecutor who fought to ensure their five’s convictions).

Nine months after taking to the ‘Wall Street Journal’ to slam her portrayal in ‘When They See Us’ as ‘an outright fabrication’ (as we reported here), the 72-year-old is taking her complaints to court.

More inside:

Report:

Netflix fired back with the following:

“Linda Fairstein’s frivolous lawsuit is without merit. We intend to vigorously defend When They See Us and Ava DuVernay and Attica Locke, the incredible team behind the series.”

    White women wore their sunday best and watched with glee and cheered when their white husbands were whipping black slaves

      Ur faves slutmani is also a racist trash flop and a hypocrite

      Atleast Camila has apologized

      When will racistmani apologize for mocking Asian people.
      We got her on candid camera being racist to Asians.

      Let’s not forget the xenophobic video of slutmani mocking a foreign cab driver.
      Trash
      ??

      Normani is ugly, a flop and a racist
      Gurl pick a struggle.

      • Only Facts March 18, 2020

        Keep spreading lies. The video was clearly doctored which is why no reputable news outlets picked it up. You’re trash. Go lick a doorknob

      • Clarks0o0ñ March 18, 2020

        ???

        Keep telling ur self that so u can sleep well at night.

        Normani is a full fledged racist who hates Asian people
        She has refused to learn from her mistakes
        She has refused to take responsibility
        She has refused to apologise
        Typical racist behaviour

        Not only is normani a racist but she a hypocrite. Acting all high and mighty when her herself has a racist past.
        We have video evidence of her mocking Asian people

        We got the ugly racist bìtch on candid camera. Lol

        Atleast Camila has apologized, and made amends. Donates to charities that feed afrixan kids and kids in the middle east

        Normani has refused to apologise.
        Trash
        An ugly flop who cant sing and is a whole racist. This is who u stan.
