Finally there’s some legal pushback Netflix for their “Cuties” film!
In case if you aren’t familiar, “Cuties” is a Netflix movie that caused a lot of controversy for its sexual portrayal of 11-year-old girls.
The movie depicts them in scantily clad clothes, gyrating and doing all sorts of disturbing dance moves in front of adults.
And a grand jury from the good old state of Texas has indicted Netflix for potentially distributing material that sexualizes minors.
Fox News has the details on the story:
Netflix has been indicted on a criminal charge that alleges the streaming giant promotes “lewd visual material” of a child.
The lawsuit centers on the release of the French film “Cuties” that has been mired by controversy since its release last month.
A Tyler County, Texas grand jury moved to return an indictment against Netflix on Sept. 23, Fox News confirmed on Tuesday via court documents.
The complaint alleges Netflix “knowingly” promoted visual material which “depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child who was younger than 18 years of age at the time the visual material was created, which appeals to the prurient interest in sex, and has no serious, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”
Netflix has previously defended the film in statements to Fox News, calling the project “a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up.”
The media giant doubled down on Tuesday. “Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children,” a spokesperson for Netflix told Fox News. “This charge is without merit and we stand by the film.”
The movie truly is disturbing.
It’s completely inappopriate and disgusting to have young girls performing sexual dances.
That’s something we should all be able to agree on!
