Netflix targets all types of audiences with its plethora of offerings which alternate between films, series, anime and documentaries depending on a particularly busy schedule. At the end of 2023, an original production came out of the closet, an affair that fascinated and scandalized the French people. A few months later, one of the accused spoke out. He wants to sue the SVOD service.
The Bettencourt Affair: Scandal among the richest woman in the world is a documentary mini-series released on November 8, 2023 exclusively on Netflix. Composed of 3 episodes lasting around fifty minutes on average, this original program retraces one of the most famous legal cases in France: that which pitted billionaire Liliane Bettencourt and her family against several parties including the photographer François-Marie Banier and former president Nicolas Sarkozy against a backdrop of abuse of weakness and questionable payments.

The Netflix documentary was a huge success in France, but also around the world. Twelve days after it was posted online on the streaming platform, The Bettencourt Affair: Scandal among the richest woman in the world occupied the TOP 10 in 63 countries. It was even in the world TOP 10 of non-Anglo-Saxon series. If the series appealed to subscribers, some people did not appreciate this Netflix Original at all and intend to make it known.

The photographer strikes back
On February 20, 2024, François-Marie Banier was the guest of Léa Salamé on France Inter, and he did not miss the opportunity to express his anger regarding the Netflix documentary broadcast last November. Sentenced in 2016 to a fine of 375,000 euros for abuse of weaknesses (he escaped payment of 158 million in damages), the photographer close to the former heiress and owner of the L'Oréal group wants to file a complaint. He said about the Netflix series on the journalist's microphone:
“I just saw it and I'm going to sue them twice.”

Documentaries on Netflix in March 2024
Netflix continues its historical work with a new batch of documentaries expected for the month of March 2024. And the atmosphere is not one of light and spring subjects. The SVOD service with 260 million subscribers rewards its audience with two cases that hit the headlines and nothing less than the impact of the atomic bomb on the evolution of the Cold War.
