Buster Murdaugh, the only surviving son of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh, has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, Warner Bros., and others for defamation.
Buster, the older brother of Alex’s murdered son Paul, filed the suit on Friday, alleging the defendants defamed him by insinuating he and Paul were behind the murder of a gay teen in South Carolina back in 2015.
The matter concerns the death of Stephen Smith, whose car ran out of gas on July 8, 2015. He was allegedly struck by a vehicle while walking along the road, but documentaries and news articles produced by the defendants alleged that Alex Murdaugh’s sons were behind the death. More recently, Buster says in his lawsuit, outlets have reported on other individuals being responsible for Smith’s death, and Buster has never been notified by anyone in law enforcement of any allegations against him for the killing.
