White Lotus star, Jason Isaacs, traveled Duke after the show has sparked a viral meme of March Madness who put angry school.
The English actor Isaacs plays Timothy Ratliff, whose Northern Caroline family is enjoying dramatic holidays in Thailand in the last season of the HBO show.
After the character of Isaac learned that he has been investigated by the FBI in the United States, he steals his wife’s anxiety medicines and a fire guard of a hotel security guard.
Ratliff then writes a suicide note and holds the weapon to the head while wearing a Duke t-shirt.
The scene was broadcast before March Madness and the fans quickly joked by saying that Ratliff illustrated the number of Blue Devils fans would react if the seeded n ° 1 had not won the national championship.
Duke struck the use of their brand “disturbing” of their brand, affirming in a press release that the program “goes simply too far”.

Isaacs has now made fun of the school’s reaction, claiming that he planned to wear Duke goods whenever he is under the spotlight.
The English actor recently appeared on the “literally!” With the Podcast Rob Lowe. Lowe’s son graduated from Duke and Isaacs joked: “I did not wear (the t-shirt) today, if I knew, I had it now.
“But I intend to wear them whenever there is a camera around, therefore sorry, Duke. There is my honorary diploma.
Duke was beaten by Houston in the Final Four of March Madness while, in White Lotus, the whole Ratliff family survived his trip to Thailand – despite the character of Isaacs threatening the murder -suicide.
`Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative narration, but the characters showing clothes carrying federal trade marks of Duke creates confusion and wrongly suggest an approval or affiliation where it does not exist ”, said the school.
“(IT) not only uses our brand without authorization, but in our opinion uses it on disturbing imaging, does not reflect our values or which we are, and simply goes too far.”
