Natalia Grace vs. Disney: Art Isn't Your Biography.

Natalia Grace is suing Disney and Hulu, claiming their series 'Good American Family' defamed her. And frankly, it's exhausting. If every 'inspired by true events' series is going to be litigated by its subject for not being a verbatim transcript, we might as well just stick to documentaries. This isn't about *her* truth; it's about the medium's integrity. Good art isn't journalism, and confusing the two is a catastrophic failure of critical thought. Are we truly so infantilized by reality TV that we can't discern dramatization from deposition? A disclaimer isn't a legal shield for bad filmmaking, but it also isn't a guarantee of biographical accuracy. The *real* crime here is the chilling effect on creators who dare to interpret, to explore, to craft a narrative that isn't just a Wikipedia entry.
