| https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/may/25/romeo-juliet-movie-franco-zeffirelli-child-abuse-lawsuitLeonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey have lost their suit over "sexual exploitation." Let's review the facts: - The movie was shot over 55 years ago
- Both stars were paid as actors
- Both stars went on to successful careers
- They weren't the first 16-year olds to bonk
- What they did, on-screen, was to appear, VERY briefly, unclothed
- There was implied sex but nothing that couldn't get a 'G' rating
- The stars have remained friends for 55 years
So, yeah. I'd have thrown out the lawsuit too. Obviously just a cash grab. - Quote :
- They were reportedly seeking $100m in damages.
Damages for WHAT? |
