Celia Sawyer, a celebrity interior designer, has accused Netflix of plagiarizing her concept for an erotic home makeover show. Her proposal for a series named Kinky Rooms, which included designs for polyamorous couples, was allegedly dismissed by Netflix. A year later, the streaming service debuted How to Build a Sex Room, featuring similar themes. Despite Sawyer's efforts to address this with Netflix, they denied any connection, leading to her frustration and highlighting broader issues in intellectual property protection within the entertainment industry.
"It was exactly the same idea, exactly the same format. They said they were going to delete it, and then a year later it popped up as a Netflix show."
"You put a lot of work into this stuff and then that happens. I was really upset. It was awful."
