‘White Lotus’ Star Jason Isaacs Says Duke ‘Clearly’ Wanted to ‘Go Viral’ With T-Shirt Backlash: ‘Fanciful and Ridiculous’


Jason Isaacs says he was 'faintly amused' by Duke complaining about a shirt being featured in Season 3 of 'The White Lotus.'

While Duke University may not have appreciated the unintentional promo in the most recent season of “ The White Lotus,” Jason Isaacs enjoyed having a little fun at the school’s expense. After Season 3 of “The White Lotus” featured Isaacs’ character wearing a Duke T-shirt during a murder-suicide dream sequence, the North Carolina University vocally protested against the use of their logo. “[The White Lotus] not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far,” Duke VP of communications, marketing and public affairs Frank Tramble told The New York Times.
