Netflix Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are being sued over their new Netflix movie The Rip. Two Miami-Dade officers, Jason Smith and Jonathan Santana, are accusing the two stars of defaming them over their depiction of law enforcement characters in the movie. Smith and Santana are not mentioned by name in the movie, but the lawsuit is asserting that they were the inspiration for the main characters in The Rip. Matt played Lieutenant Dane Dumars and Ben played Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne.
