Getty family member threatens to sue over FX's Trust

The Hollywood Reporter

John Paul Getty III's sister, Ariadne Getty, claims Danny Boyle's series about the Gettys, which premieres on March 25, is "a cruel and mean-spirited defamatory depiction" of the family. In particular, she says it makes it appear her family was complicit in her brother's 1973 kidnapping case. "It is ironic that you have titled your television series Trust," said her attorney, Marty Singer, in a letter to FX. "More fitting titles would be Lies or Mistrust, since the defamatory story it tells about the Gettys colluding in the kidnapping is false and misleading, and viewers rightly ought to mistrust it."
