Overview

• Price’s July 2 complaint in Dublin High Court alleges that the ninth episode of FX’s Say Nothing falsely portrays her executing Jean McConville, a Belfast mother of 10.
• She is seeking monetary damages and an injunction to prevent further broadcasts of the contested scene and compel its removal from the series.
• Disney and production partner Minim UK Productions have not issued any public response to the defamation claim.
• Say Nothing adapts Patrick Radden Keefe’s 2019 nonfiction book, which attributes the fatal shot in McConville’s 1972 killing to Price—a claim she denies.
• The lawsuit highlights legal and ethical questions around dramatizing unresolved episodes of the Northern Ireland Troubles and assigning individual blame.
