Former Manhattan prosecutor Linda Fairstein and Netflix announced Tuesday that they have reached a settlement in the defamation case she filed against the streaming platform for her portrayal in the 2019 miniseries 'When They See Us.' Fairstein filed the lawsuit in March 2020 less than a year after the Ava DuVernay series debuted on Netflix. The case was set to go to trial later this month.
'Today, after nearly five years of litigation, Netflix, Ava DuVernay and Attica Locke — those responsible for the 2019 Series “WHEN THEY SEE US” — agreed to a resolution of my defamation lawsuit,' Fairstein said in a statement to NBC News. 'The decision to conclude this fight was not an easy one. We were prepared to present a compelling case to the jury, as articulated by Federal District Judge Kevin Castel in his powerful decision dismissing the defendants’ summary judgment claim.
