VERBATIM: The lawsuit was filed over Fairstein’s portrayal in the streaming service’s miniseries about the five Black and Latino teenagers known as the now-exonerated Central Park Five. She had argued that the 2019 four-part series “When They See Us” defamed her by portraying her as a “racist, unethical villain.” The case was expected to go to trial later this month.
