Spielberg Production Sued Over Haircut

Fri Mar 17, 7:26 PM ET

A Mescalero Apache family in southern New Mexico has sued the producers of Steven Spielberg's television miniseries, "Into the West," claiming a set stylist cut an 8-year-old girl's hair without regard for tribal customs.

"It's part of our culture not to cut a girl's hair until her Coming of Age ceremony," the girl's father, Danny Ponce, said Friday in a telephone interview. "The only ones allowed to do that are the parents. Nobody asked for permission."

Ponce filed suit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on March 6, naming Turner Films Inc. and the unknown stylist as defendants. The lawsuit seeks $250,000 for emotional distress and $75,000 in damages.

The lawsuit seeks $250,000 for emotional distress and $75,000 in damages.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh i am sure the kid is really upset by it. NOT

that sucks!

maybe i can sue someone too? i wouldn't even need to work then :1orglaugh

Why am I not surprised.

Why weren't her parents on set at all times if this child has special needs?

exactly what I was thinking.

Hmm.. Wonder when lawsuits became part of tribal customs...

The irony of their surname being Ponce.

Did she get ............SCALPED?? :Graucho

american dream

shit lawsuits like this shouldn't be allowed

Asking the parent's authorisation should have been done thought... no ?

325k is bullshit... they'll prolly settle for 5k lol

$325,000 for something that will grow back? this has got to be our BS for the day

totally sucks!

skin him..

People will do anything for money..

they only want more money from Spielberg

I say customs should be abolished and so should the derogatoriness of the word n.i.g..g.e...r...

And people who think religion isn't a custom are fucking idiots...

Governments who give a fuck what someones customs are don't help their people out as a whole. The NAACP has royally fucked us all...

If we last another 50 years as the dominant species on the planet I'd be very fucking surprised....

Makes sense to me. I wouldent go suing over it though.
Tribal/religious customs are very big to some people.

it's all about money...
