Jason Isaacs Mocks Duke's Shirt Controversy

Jason Isaacs, an actor from 'The White Lotus,' stirred controversy by wearing a Duke University T-shirt during a murder-suicide dream sequence in Season 3 of the show. Duke University criticized the use of their brand without permission, stating it was troubling and did not reflect their values. Isaacs responded by wearing another Duke shirt at the season finale event, admitting he intended to 'cause a little mischief' and found the controversy amusing. He explained that the shirt was purchased at an airport after his luggage was lost, and he saw the situation as an opportunity for playful defiance. Isaacs also remarked that Duke's reaction seemed like an attempt to go viral and noted the irony, given some of the university's notable yet controversial alumni. Despite the backlash, Isaacs expressed no ill will, stating he enjoyed the humor in the situation.
