Warner Bros. responds to Richard Jewell controversy over depiction of real-life female journalist
Warner Bros. has released a statement responding to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s demand for a disclaimer saying the late journalist Kathy Scruggs did not sleep with an FBI source for information in real life.

In the film, Scruggs is depicted attempting to trade sex with an FBI agent for a tip that Jewell is the lead suspect in the case.
It's infuriating that movies and shows so often depict fictional female journalists sleeping with sources to get their stories.
