The stars of the 1968 movie “Romeo and Juliet,” directed by Italian filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli, have submitted a lawsuit accusing Paramount Pictures of sexually abusing them by filming their nude bodies without their knowledge when they were children.
The stars of the 1968 movie “Romeo & Juliet” have submitted a lawsuit in Los Angeles County accusing Paramount Pictures of sexually abusing them by filming their nude bodies without their knowledge when they were children.
Per court documents reviewed by The Times, the onscreen lovers claim they were coerced into filming the sequence nude after Zeffirelli initially assured them that “there would be no nudity filmed or exhibited, and that [they] would be wearing flesh colored undergarments during the bedroom/love scene.”
As a result of Zeffirelli and Paramount’s alleged transgressions, Whiting and Hussey say they have suffered physical pain, severe mental anguish and emotional distress, as well as “a lifetime loss” of earnings, employment benefits and job opportunities. They are seeking general, compensatory and punitive economic and noneconomic damages “believed to be in excess” of $500 million.
“The knowing and repeated use of sexual images of minor children is the worst of behaviors in our society and must be eradicated.”
