Netflix has been sued for defamation by free diver Francisco 'Pipín' Ferreras, who claims the 2022 French film No Limit implied he murdered his wife.
Netflix is being sued by free diver Francisco "Pipín" Ferreras, who claims the 2022 French film No Limit implied that he murdered his wife. The September 2022 movie sees Camilla Rowe as Roxane Aubrey, a free-diving student who soon begins a troubled relationship with her instructor, Pascal. Near the end of the film, it is implied that Pascal compromised Roxanne's air tank before a dive, making it so she doesn't have enough air to come back up.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to Entertainment Weekly, Netflix, as well as production company Nolita Cinéma and director David M. Rosenthal, are being sued for defamation by Ferreras because he claims No Limit implies that he murdered his wife. He cites the film being dedicated to his wife, Audrey Mestre, a photograph of whom is featured at the end of the film, and the movie claims that it is inspired by real events.
[The defendants made] a deliberate decision for dramatic purposes to defame Ferreras by showing in the Film that he murdered Audrey by intentionally sabotaging the equipment that should have brought her back to the surface. Audrey's death was an accident and Ferreras risked his life in a vain attempt to save her.
Recent Legal Troubles For Netflix Explained Ferreras isn't the only person who has instigated legal issues with Netflix this week. Recently, political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar sent a legal notice to Netflix about a The Big Bang Theory season 2 episode where the character Raj makes a controversial joke about Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit. While this has garnered controversy for The Big Bang Theory and Netflix as a whole, Ferreras' defamation lawsuit appears to be a graver situation.
It's unclear if Ferreras' lawsuit will be taken to court, as Rosenthal has insisted the film is entirely fictional and inspired by multiple real-world events. However, the fact the film is dedicated to Mestre could make it so Ferreras successfully argues the film was primarily inspired by her death. His legal action against Netflix is one of multiple cases the streaming company now has to face regarding the content on its platform.
