In a lawsuit obtained by Radar, Alan Dershowitz -- who gave interviews for the streaming giant's show -- says the editing was one-sided when it came to the allegations against him brought on by a woman who claims he partook in his client's sex trafficking ring.

Epstein's former lawyer is suing Netflix, producers Leroy & Morton Productions, and Radical Media. He claims they produced “a deliberately one-sided narrative.”

He describes it as a “he said/she said" presentation when it comes to featuring the allegations Giuffre made about him on camera.

“It wasn’t a ‘he said/she said’ situation, however, given Professor Dershowitz’s totality of the evidence establishing he never had sex with Giuffre,” the complaint reads.

“To have presented that evidence in Filthy Rich, as had been promised, would have undercut the credibility of Brad Edwards, Sigrid McCawley and Giuffre — the very people whose interviewed comments Filthy Rich depended upon.”

He claims producers promised not to disparage him and said the team's editing choices appeared to give Giuffre's accusations credibility; however, Netflix disagrees.

A spokesperson for the streaming giant gave The Hollywood Reporter -- who first published the lawsuit -- a statement, saying, "Mr. Dershowitz’s lawsuit is without merit, and we will vigorously defend our partners and the series.”
