Duke says ‘White Lotus’ went ‘too far’ in showing university T-shirt
“The White Lotus” is currently making his most risk season broadcast so far, so it is no surprise that a prestigious university like Duke does not want part of it.
In episode six, Jason Isaacs’s Gun-Stelen, Lorazepam Popping Business Mogul, Timothy Ratliff, the murder of his wife, played by Parkey Pose and himself to prevent inevitable prison for shady business transactions. This was all done while wearing a t-shirt from his Alma Mater, Hertog. After the episode was broadcast, the vice president of the University of Communication, Marketing and Public Affairs, Frank Tramble, said The New York Times That the Blue Devils do not want to be associated with ‘The White Lotus’.
“Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative stories,” wrote Tramble in an e -mail, “but characters who wear a item of clothing that Duke’s federally registered trademarks wear, creates confusion and wrongly suggests approval or affiliation where there is no.”
Tramble emphasized that the Mike White drama “our brand not only uses without permission, but in our opinion it uses it on images that is disturbing, does not reflect our values or who we are, and just goes too far.”
This is not the first time that Isaac’s controversy has drawn around his “White Lotus” role. The actor seemed naked in the third episode of this season and on March 14, Isaacs was asked if he used a prosthetic or not. Isaacs gave an answer that would quickly be labeled controversially. He said there is a “double standard for men”, and that journalists would never dream about asking “the substance” star Margaret Qalley for “her genitals or her nipples or one of those things.”
A few days later, Isaacs took the comments back. He told Variety, “I said the wrong words in the wrong way. I used the expression ‘double standard’, which I did not mean at all. There is one [different] Double Standard – Women are monstrously exploited and men are not. ‘
