Disney sued over portrayal of IRA member

Marian Price, a veteran of the Irish Republican Army, is suing Disney+ for its depiction of her in the FX/Hulu series “Say Nothing,” claiming that her portrayal alleges she was involved in the murder of Jean McConville. McConville was one of the 17 members of the Disappeared, who were kidnapped, killed, and secretly buried by the IRA during the decades-spanning Northern Ireland Conflict, more commonly known as the Troubles. 

In the series — which Disney+ hosts internationally — Price is depicted as McConville’s murderer, though an episode disclaimer states that Price denies any involvement with the shooting. Now, Price is leveling litigation against Disney+, claiming that the streamer is seeking to entertain audiences at her expense.
