Dutton spokeswoman Amanda Walker told the Associated Press that she had "ended her relationship" with Fairstein, a successful crime novelist whose the last book was published in March. Fairstein has previously resigned from three charity boards because of the brutal reaction she has experienced since leaving Netflix. When they see us the miniseries debuted. Fairstein said the New York Post that the show has portrayed it inaccurately.
