A Netflix ) will have to respond to the defamation lawsuit filed by the chess player Nona Gaprindashvili, for citation in the series The Queen’s Gambit (2020) ). In the production starring Anya Taylor-Joy, it is said that Gaprindashvili has “never faced a man in championships”, which is factually incorrect. .
According to information from Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service, initially, tried to request the filing of the process, since it is a fictional production.
The argument, released by THR, says that “no viewer would have understood the speaks as a statement of fact because the series is fictional, and fictional works have no obligation to the truth.”
The judge in charge of the case, Virginia Phillips, denied the filing, alleging:
“The fact that the series is a fictional work does not exempt Netflix from liability for defamation if all other libel elements are present in any way.”
Phillips further commented that of the citation of the chess player by name, in addition to another The series’ references to real events and people can lead to a misunderstanding of Nona’s career, describing Netflix’s attitude as “reckless contempt”.
Nona Gaprindashvili, 80 years old , started the process in September 2021. The chess player from Georgia (in the former Soviet Union) was the first woman to receive the title of Grand Master of Chess, in 1978.
