Duke Says ‘White Lotus’ Went ‘Too Far’ in Featuring T-Shirt Worn By Jason Isaacs’s Unhinged Character: ‘Uses Our Brand Without Permission’


Duke said that "The White Lotus" featured its university merch "without permission."

After the episode aired, the university’s vice president for communications, marketing and public affairs, Frank Tramble, told The New York Times that the Blue Devils do not want to be associated with “The White Lotus.” Tramble emphasized that the Mike White drama “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.” He said there is a “double standard for men,” and that journalists would never dream about asking “The Substance” star Margaret Qualley about “her genitalia or her nipples or any of those things.”
