Francis Ford Coppola Sues Variety for $15 Million
Over a report that included video of the director allegedly sexually harassing female extras on the set of Megalopolis.
The director is seeking $15 million in damages from Variety Media LLC and the journalists who wrote the piece, Brent Lang and Tatiana Siegel, his lawyers said in a September 11 filing. The suit claims these allegations were “made maliciously, with knowledge of their falsity or with reckless disregard for whether the statements were true or false.” Coppola served Variety with a retraction demand, per the filing, which the site did not comply with. It was a collaboration of hundreds of artists, from extras to box office stars, to whom I consistently displayed the utmost respect and my deepest gratitude,” Coppola said in a statement shared with People on September 12.
