Agencies
Netflix's documentary "Orgasm Inc" has landed in legal trouble after a lawsuit was filed asking the streaming platform to drop the "explicit material". According to an NBC News report, more than a dozen former associates of a wellness company requested a temporary restraining order and direction to Netflix to blur out redact imagery from the documentary.

The lawsuit was filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, and the hearing will take place on Friday. The 15 plaintiffs are being represented by lawyer Paul Nicholas Boylan for the lawsuit filed at the end of September, according to reports.

"Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste" is directed by Sarah Gibson and Sloane Klevin. The documentary is an investigation of the accusations leveled against "OneTaste". Orgasm Inc. is set for its Netflix release on Saturday.

The plaintiffs have alleged that a former videographer for "OneTaste", Chris Kosley, had secretly siphoned explicit videos to a documentary filmmaker.

Kosley was fired in 2016, and the plaintiff alleges that he misappropriated recordings from private retreats, workshops, and tutorials.
