  Her claims are allegations, not truths. If I were the one getting death threats about my appearance in a controversial film, I wouldn't hesitate to lie about how much I knew about the film going into it. As far as what actually happened, I haven't seen any alleged contract, and it seems to me if you act in a film you should expect no control over the final product unless you have a contract saying you do. The nature of the film could be changed; your lines could be dubbed.

  It is illegal, and she can use sue in the civil court if she wanted. Fraud is serious, and if the allegations are true, she has a good chance to win. However, this court case is about copyright claims and work contracts.

If the producer didn't want this to happen he should have had her sign an appropriate contract. The death threats are another case, and should probably be investigated so that the perpetrators can be prosecuted. However, I'm not eager to throw actors' rights out the window just because their motives for exercising them arise from their being wronged by a third party. Copyright is copyright and in America, we take intellectual property seriously.
