Nyle DiMarco Accused Netflix's 'Sierra Burgess Is a Loser' of Shaming Deaf People

Model Nyle DiMarco dissed the film Sunday via Twitter over his concerns with its seemingly problematic storyline about a deaf character. Directed by Ian Samuels and penned by Lindsey Beer, Sierra Burgess Is a Loser follows Sierra Burgess (Shannon Purser). Sierra, while smart but unpopular, manages to be mistaken for Veronica (Kristine Froseth), a cheerleader and member of the popular crowd, over text by Jamey (Noah Centineo) after he received a faux phone number from Veronica—which just so happened to be Sierra's.

From there, Sierra continues to catfish Jamey with Veronica's assistance. Find What Works!
