Teletubby 150,075 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Carole Baskin, the nemesis of Joe Exotic, plans to sue Netflix for a breach of contract in using footage of her in the trailer for "Tiger King 2." Baskin and her husband, Howard Baskin, are taking legal action in Tampa, Florida, against Royal Goode Productions and Netflix, according to court documents. The couple claims they only signed appearance release forms for the first documentary and are seeking to take the case in front of a jury, while requesting all footage of Carole Baskin be taken down in the meantime. The suit also seeks legal costs and future, unspecified relief. Howard Baskin said: "While we cannot stop Netflix and Royal Goode Productions from producing low-brow, salacious and sensational programing, we do believe that we have the right to control footage filmed of us under false pretenses," "We like to believe that most Americans will agree that we should be entitled to protect our reputations in this manner and hold entertainment giants to their word." source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 50,107 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 If thats what it says in the contract then its pretty nasty of Netflix to appropriate her image for profit, especially as they wrongly let Joe drag her through the mud without even bothering to present any other perspectives or acknowledge that Joe's complaints were not to be treated as fact.

DiamondHeart326 261 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It all depends upon what footage they used. If it is from other news reports or other public broadcast footage Netflix doesn't need her permission but rather the permission of original footage owner. At least I believe so anyway from what I remember of my law classes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
