🚨 Potential
#SpoilerAlert
“The White Lotus” Season 3 featured some pretty graphic scenes of
#JasonIsaacs’ character
#TimRatliff wearing a Duke T-shirt, and the university is not happy.
In Season 3, Episode 6, Isaacs’ character contemplates a number of suicide attempts and their possible outcomes. These mostly include him shooting himself with a gun stolen from the resort security guard. All the grisly daydreams happen while the character is in a grey Duke University shirt, and the school released a statement saying the HBO series went “too far.”
“Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling, but characters prominently wearing apparel bearing Duke’s federally registered trademarks creates confusion and mistakenly suggests an endorsement or affiliation where none exists,”
#FrankTramble, Duke’s vice president of communications, marketing and public affairs, told The New York Times.
