Netflix’s ‘Blonde’ Faces Backlash Over Marilyn Monroe Sexual Assault Scene

The new Netflix film "Blonde" starring Ana de Armas contains a graphic scene that depicts Marilyn Monroe being sexually assaulted by President John F Kennedy. "Blonde" is based on a well-regarded novel written by acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates. It's fiction and does not claim to be an accurate fact-filled biography. However, numerous critics are concerned that viewers of the movie will think JFK really did assault Monroe, tarnishing his reputation.
