Netflix Faces Multiple Defamation Lawsuits Over Use of Photos in Documentaries.

Netflix is facing a $1 million defamation lawsuit for using a Kentucky man’s Instagram photo in its “Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker” documentary without his consent. Taylor Hazlewood alleges that Netflix “misappropriated” the photo by using it twice in the documentary next to photos of Caleb Lawrence McGillvary. Hazlewood is seeking $1 million in damages from Netflix, citing that the incident has “caused him reputational harm, stress, anxiety and anguish” and has resulted in “a constant fear of losing future employment or relationships because of people believing he is dangerous or untrustworthy.” Netflix had no comment on the lawsuit.

Netflix Faces Multiple Lawsuits Over Unauthorized Photo Use in Documentaries

A Kentucky man is suing Netflix for over $1 million in damages, claiming that the true-crime documentary "The Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker" used his image without permission and portrayed him in a "sinister and defamatory light." The documentary focuses on convicted murderer Caleb "Kai" McGillvary, who gained viral fame as a hitchhiker who used a hatchet to subdue an attacker. The lawsuit alleges that Hazlewood's image was used in a scene that asked if he was a "guardian angel or a stone-cold killer." Hazlewood claims he had no connection to the subject of the documentary and was posing with a friend's hatchet because of his favorite childhood book.
