YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Two Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies have filed a lawsuit against Artists Equity, the production company behind the Netflix film "The Rip," starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The deputies allege the movie uses enough real-life details from a 2016 South Florida case to make viewers believe they committed crimes depicted in the film. In a March response letter included in court filings, an attorney for Artists Equity denied the allegations, saying the film does not claim to tell a true story or portray real people. #cnn #therip #benaffleck #mattdamon #netflix
