Netflix Faces Multiple Lawsuits Over Use of Personal Photos in True-Crime Documentaries

A man from Kentucky is suing Netflix for using his image without permission in a documentary about Caleb McGillvary, a viral internet star who was convicted of murder in 2019. Taylor Hazlewood, a respiratory therapist, took a photo with a hatchet and posted it on Instagram, which was used in the documentary without his permission. Hazlewood's attorney claims that he had no connection to the people or events depicted in the film and that Netflix must be held accountable for reputational harm caused by their negligence.

Kentucky man sues Netflix over use of his photo in documentary.

A Kentucky man, Taylor Hazlewood, is suing Netflix for $1 million after the streaming giant used a photo of him in a documentary about a convicted killer to whom he has no connection. Hazlewood claims Netflix depicted him in a 'sinister and defamatory light' after twice using a picture of him posing with a hatchet in its documentary The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker even though he was not involved. The documentary tells the story of Caleb 'Kai' McGillvary, who went from viral sensation to convicted killer in the space of a year.

Netflix sued for unauthorized use of man's photo in true-crime documentary.

A Kentucky man is suing Netflix for using his photo without permission in a true-crime documentary called "The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker." Taylor Hazlewood alleges that the film depicts him in a "sinister and defamatory light," erroneously using his photograph in a scene about a "stone-cold killer." Hazlewood is seeking more than $1 million in damages. The documentary chronicles the rise and fall of Caleb "Kai" McGillvary, who was convicted of murdering Joseph Galfy in 2019. Hazlewood, who is not connected to McGillvary or his murder case, is a respiratory therapist in an intensive care unit.
