Ezra Edelman, Oscar- and Emmy-winning director of the docuseries O.J.: Made In America, directed a nine-hour Prince documentary for Netflix that will seemingly never come out. Last year, after reports emerged that the doc contains some unflattering allegations about Prince — physical altercations with a girlfriend, antisemitic lyrics, asking Wendy Melvoin to renounce her homosexuality — multiple companies managing Prince’s estate took legal action against Netflix. Last month Netflix announced that it had mutually agreed with the estate to shelve the documentary and let Prince’s people make their own. Now Edelman is on the warpath.
