Kidman's Film Under Fire For Hepatitis C Joke

Officials at the American Liver Foundation are fuming with a joke in NICOLE KIDMAN's new movie [Bewitched](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/bewitched), which pokes fun at those suffering with Hepatitis C.

In the film, a woman spurns [Michael Caine](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/michael-caine)'s character by telling him she has the blood disease.

But the ALF's president FREDERICK THOMPSON isn't laughing: "This remarkably tasteless comment plays into the stigma that many people with hepatitis C have to cope with every single day.

"I can't imagine anyone in Hollywood making a joke about HIV infection, for instance."
