Netflix's controversial series "Baby Reindeer" has sparked a $170 million lawsuit over its portrayal of real-life individuals, including accusations of sexual predation and stalking. As the streaming giant faces scrutiny for its depiction of thinly veiled characters, questions arise about oversight and accountability. Despite the series' massive popularity, concerns linger over casting couch allegations and the potential harm caused to those portrayed. Past lawsuits against Netflix, like those from OneTaste and Miranda Derrick, highlight a pattern of reckless storytelling tactics that have resulted in legal battles and public backlash. With mounting accusations of misrepresentation and harm to real people, Netflix's commitment to truth and responsible storytelling is called into question. As the fallout from "Baby Reindeer" continues, concerns persist about the impact of the streamer's content on real lives.
