Marian Price filed her defamation complaint against Disney in Dublin High Court, citing Say Nothing's depiction of her alleged ties to the 1972 killing of Belfast local mother Jean McConville. The final episode of the series alludes to Price — who is played by Hazel Doupe — shooting McConville in the back of the head. Price is now requesting that the provocative scene be removed from the show, which is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

Say Nothing centers around Jean McConville's children and their investigation into their mother's death. It also follows Marian Price's indoctrination into the Irish Republican Army. McConville, who had 10 children, was kidnapped by the IRA during The Troubles in Northern Ireland under suspicion of passing information to the British Army. After McConville's body was unearthed in 2003, an investigation proved that she was not an informant.

Say Nothing earned rave reviews when it debuted in November 2024. The program scored an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for the episode "The People in the Dirt" — the same episode that depicts Jean McConville's death, allegedly at the hands of Marian Price.
