Two South Florida officers sue Ben Affleck and Matt Damon over The Rip
Two Miami-Dade deputies, Jonathan Santana and Jason Smith, sued Ben Affleck and Matt Damon over Netflix's The Rip, filing a defamation lawsuit in Florida and seeking damages. The Rip stars Affleck and Damon as South Florida police officers WHO find millions of dollars inside a house; Santana and Smith say the film borrows identifiable details from their real raid and portrays them as dirty cops WHO stole drug money and committed murder. Their lawyer Ignacio Alvarez says the portrayals have hurt the deputies' personal and professional reputations. The lawsuit matters because it tests legal limits on fictionalizing real investigations and could expose filmmakers to defamation claims when movies use identifiable elements from actual cases.
Two South Florida police officers claim Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's recent action thriller "The Rip" used too many real-life details in its fictionalized narrative, causing harm to the officers' personal and professional reputations.
This isn't helping their reputation at all
If you don't want to appear on the front page, be ethical in your deeds FAFO - no case
These claims will totally help.
Was there some shortage of cop movies?
don't make me side with ben affleck and matt damon, come on.
Attention seeking behavior ya think? Hey guys, not everything is about you
I know they're hoping for a settlement to avoid a trial, but discovery and forcing these clowns (the cops, not Ben and Matt) to disprove the narrative on the record will be fun.
There's "Florida Man", and then there's "Florida Cop"...
Uh, ‘The Rip’? I’m sure all 27 people that watched it don’t care.
So did Jonathan Santana and Jason Smith file lawsuits against ACTUAL CORRUPT COPS, whose actions made them look like corrupt cops, as-well? WHY ARE COPS SO f'ing STUPID????
