has sued Netflix for $5 million claiming defamation and false light invasion of privacy. In court documents obtained E! News, Nona and her attorneys claim that a false statement was made inDuring the "End Game" episode, a statement is made that compares Nona's real-life accomplishments to that of's fictional character Beth Harmon.
In court documents, Nona's attorneys state: "The allegation that Gaprindashvili ‘has never faced men' is manifestly false, as well as being grossly sexist and belittling. By 1968, the year in which this episode is set, she had competed against at least 59 male chess players."
Seriously - it’s a TV show
One of my favorite Netflix series. People are so sensitive these days. Period pieces are in a league of their own and that has to be considered.
1) she is a Georgian 🇬🇪 Netflix mentioned her as a Russian . 2) she is grandmaster, world champion and Netflix said she never faced the men , what a sexist joke to world champion…. Netflix own her apology for disrespecting her career and damage …
Wha-
Who cares
I am also a woman who loved this show. It was different times back then and this show did a wondetful job depicting that.
Still not a documentary
WTF?
🤮🤮
People get desperate when their EDD stopped coming in 😅
I mean really
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Seriously, people. It was a representative period piece.
Grow up
The way Netflix pisses away money...$5 mil doesn't even make them blink...then they'll just raise our monthly fees anyway. Either way...yet another greedy money grab from society leeches.
🤪
🤯
🤔
Someone needs to take a huge chill pill. I'm a woman, I loved the series and found nothing about it sexist or belittling.

Netflix Sued by Ex-Soviet Chess Champion Over “Sexist” Remark in ‘Queen’s Gambit’Nona Gaprindashvili was mentioned in the hit Netflix series — but she says a comment about her got the facts wrong. Pretty stupid Netflix. In a fiction, it would have been easy to change the name to make the point. I mean the line is in the show. We all heard it. It is not factually correct. They can vigorously defend it but I am not sure what they have to stand on here. Those words were said and they were not correct, p simple. ?

Brutally Honest Emmy Ballot: ‘Queen’s Gambit’ Best Thing on TV in 10 YearsTHR’s incognito TV Academy voter, a big fan of 'The Mandalorian' ('an example of money well spent') but not of Ryan Murphy ('incredibly self-indulgent'), offers a candid and sometimes caustic take on the year’s key (and confusing) races. I'd go even further and say The Mandalorian, Chernobyl and The Queen's Gambit were the only watchable shows on tv in the last 5 years I don't understand how you can vote if you haven't watched all the submissions? Most of this article he/she states they haven't watched it.
