Part 6/11:
Meanwhile, the Indiana Jones stars and creators faced backlash: a Netflix show’s crew revealed they faced unprofessional behavior during production, and actress Alison Mack was released early from prison after cooperating in a sex trafficking case tied to the NXIVM cult. The narrative revealed elitist Hollywood complicity and the dark side of fame.
Peaky Blinders faced its own controversy when a DeSantis campaign video used footage of Tommy Shelby, the show’s anti-hero, in a homophobic, Sigma male grind-set meme. The Peaky Blinders team publicly disavowed the use, clarifying they did not endorse the narrative — but it served as a stark example of how show characters are often weaponized for political agendas.
