Statement from Andrew Miltenberg, Attorney for Linda Fairstein

NEW YORK, March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to media inquiries, Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney representing plaintiff Linda Fairstein in her defamation lawsuit against defendants Netflix, Ava DuVernay, and Attica Locke, confirmed that Ms. Fairstein's defamation lawsuit has not been dismissed and is moving forward.

"There appears to be confusion in some quarters that Ms. Fairstein's defamation lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on March 18, 2020, was adjudicated and dismissed. That is incorrect. An unrelated lawsuit, filed against Netflix and Ms. DuVernay by a different and unrelated plaintiff in the fall of 2019, was dismissed by a federal district court in Illinois."
