Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Sued by Miami Cops Over Netflix Film

A group of Miami police officers just launched a defamation lawsuit against Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, claiming a Netflix crime thriller the actors were involved with trashed their reputations by portraying them as corrupt cops. Yeah, really.

The officers are arguing the film falsely depicted them as dirty—you know, the kind of cops who take bribes, plant evidence, the whole corrupt playbook. They’re not having it and they want the A-listers to answer for it in court.

This is what happens when Hollywood decides to make a gritty crime drama based loosely on real events. The real people involved? Not thrilled. The Miami PD is taking this seriously enough to lawyer up and come after two of the biggest names in entertainment.

Damon and Affleck haven’t publicly responded yet, but you better believe their legal teams are scrambling. This could get messy fast—and it’s definitely going to be expensive.
