Duke University isn't too happy their logo was shown during a recent episode of The White Lotus.
00:06
Warning, spoilers ahead from the latest episode of The White Lotus titled Denials.
00:11
In the episode, Jason Isaac's character Timothy Ratliff is seen wearing a Duke t-shirt
00:16
during a scene where he contemplates suicide and holds a gun to his head.
00:20
After an ex-user made a meme relating the scene to Duke's fate in the March Madness NCAA basketball tournament,
00:25
the school condemned the message in a reply, writing,
00:28
Suicide is the second leading cause of death on college campuses.
00:32
Rivalry is part of March Madness, but some imagery goes too far.
00:35
If you or someone you know needs support, call or text the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.
00:40
The university's vice president for communications, marketing, and public affairs
00:44
then shared this statement with the New York Times.
00:47
Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling,
00:50
but characters prominently wearing apparel bearing Duke's federally registered trademarks
00:54
creates confusion and mistakenly suggests an endorsement or affiliation where none exists.
00:59
The statement continued,
01:00
The White Lotus not only uses our brand without permission,
01:03
but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling,
01:06
does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far.
01:10
The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Duke University for comment.
01:13
HBO declined to comment.
