Ava DuVernay‘s “When They See Us” about the so-called Central Park 5 still has people talking about what an amazing miniseries it is. But one person, in particular, is outraged.
Former Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecutor Linda Fairstein, the woman who helped lock up five innocent children back in the ’90s has begun running her mouth and was pointing all her fingers at DuVernay.
“It’s a basket of lies,” the 72-year-old told The Daily Beast and claimed that the critically acclaimed Netflix miniseries was “a totally and completely untrue picture of events and my participation.” She also said the film was “putting words in my mouth that I never said in Oliver Stone fashion.”
