Hollywood Lawyer Explains $500M Romeo & Juliet Lawsuit

Romeo and Juliet is a 1968 coming-of-age film starring Leonard Whiting as Romeo and Olivia Hussey as Juliet. Directed and co-written by Franco Zeffirelli, the film was distributed by Paramount Pictures. Whiting and Hussey were underage at the time and were filmed nude. They are suing Paramount for $500M alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud. They are suing Paramount for allowing the underage nudity to be shot (without consent) and allowing the director to lie and abuse them.
