A suspension of a law in California expired on the last day of '22, allowing them to sue now. Seems like the actors have also defended the scene numerous times as adults.
I'm always suspicious of shit that resurfaces after so long, anyway.
Hollywood is gross, child abuse is gross. But so is waiting this long without a fuss, then suing when it's convenient.
Nudity isn't automatically child abuse. Art has involved nudity forever. Not that most of what Hollywood puts out is art. It's Hollywood so they probably sexually abused the children.
Didn't say it was child abuse, just that I don't approve of child abuse. That said, it is pretty sketchy filming naked minors. The minors can't legally consent, I'd imagine, so who does? The producers? They don't have the power. The parents? That's fairly ick, too.
Child abuse? Maybe not. Child exploitation? Well, child is the wrong word, but I'd say there's a pretty good argument to be made for exploitation of minors, considering there's a ton of stuff they can't really legally consent to.
In Leon the Professional the people in charge of Natalie Portman allowed a nude scene where she gets into bed with Leon. The actor for Leon, jean Reno, was the one who said no.

I don't think any of this is true, they're simply redoing the same teenage sex hysteria narratives my grandparents had in modern form.
I don't really think we're doing our children favors by reverting to a "babies are brought by storks" mentality here.
