Linda Fairstein’s publisher, Dutton, allegedly terminated their relationship with her following her portrayal in Netflix’s miniseries, “When They See Us.”
After the Netflix series dramatized her role of wrongfully convicting 5 teens for the 1989 rape and beating of a female jogger, there has been a major emphasis put on an online push to boycott her publishers and distributors, which may be a determining factor as to why Dutton is choosing to drop her.
