Netflix is facing legal action for 'Inventing Anna'

[rodeoneerer]

Not for the first time, Netflix is facing legal action for adding fictional traits to a real person in one of its dramas. In this case of defamation and false light invasion of privacy, the drama in question is Inventing Anna, and the real person is ex-Vanity Fair photo editor Rachel Williams, played in the Emmy-nominated and Shonda Rhimes-produced miniseries by Katie Lowes.

“This action will show that Netflix made a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to show Williams doing or saying things in the Series which portray her as a greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative and opportunistic person” who sponged off Sorokin, then ditched her in Morocco and later lied to her own friends to conceal that she had helped the police arrest Sorokin in 2017, the filing says.

The lawsuit refutes a majority of how she was portrayed in the Netflix series, including making negative remarks made about Sorokin's friend Neff Davis (played by Alexis Floyd), freeloading off Sorokin (Julia Garner), abandoning Sorokin in Morocco when she was in trouble, dropping Sorokin as a friend when she could no longer pay for things and lying to people about helping police apprehend Sorokin.

“The magnitude of the harm to Williams caused by the Netflix’s defamation has been extraordinary by any plausible measure,” today’s 59-page complaint states. “The Series has been viewed by millions of people around the world, and as a result of Netflix’s false portrayal of her as a despicable person, she has been subjected to a torrent of online abuse which have caused her personal humiliation, distress, and anguish, as well as damages to her earnings and/or potential earnings.”

Williams is seeking unspecified damages plus legal costs, and she also wants the court to “restrain and enjoin” Netflix from continuing to defame her. She wants the alleged defamatory material removed from the series, which is still available on the streaming platform.
