A man is suing Netflix after his photo was mistakenly used in a Netflix true crime documentary about a convicted murderer.

, the documentary focuses on a charming homeless drifter named Kai, whose real name is Caleb McGillvary.

With that as a backdrop, an interesting story emerged in the wake of the documentary’s release. It turns out that one of the photos used in the documentary featured a Kentucky man named Taylor Hazlewood. In the photo, which originally surfaced on Instagram, Hazlewood is seen holding a hatchet. All the while, Hazlewood has absolutely zero connection to the true crime saga whatsoever. As a result, Hazlewood is suing Netflix for defamation for associating his photo with a convicted murderer.

Hazlewood’s attorney said that Hazlewood’s Instagram photo had no connection to Kai and that Netflix would have known this had it engaged in even a modicum of research.
