Buster Murdaugh Sues Netflix Over Documentary | Charleston News

Buster Murdaugh is suing Netflix after a judge denied their motion to dismiss — saying the documentary Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty went too far by implying his involvement in Stephen Smith’s 2015 death, even though it was framed as speculation. The court ruled that the film’s presentation crossed into defamation by making viewers believe he was guilty, not just reporting theories. Buster claims severe reputational and mental harm, seeking damages and court costs. This case could reshape how documentaries handle sensitive, real-life tragedies.
