Man Sues Netflix For $1 Million After Seeing His Photo in a Documentary Describing a ‘Stone Cold Killer’
Sometimes, people don’t want to see themselves on television — and a Kentucky man is suing Netflix for $1 million for showing his mug on the small screen.
Taylor Hazlewood is suing the streaming giant for defamation after he discovered a photo of himself in January’s true crime documentary, “The Hatchet Yielding Hitchhiker.”

In the program, Netflix followed the true story of a hitchhiker named Kai (his real name is Caleb Lawrence McGillvary) who became a viral sensation after he told news outlets he murdered a man with a hatchet to stop him from attacking a woman.
