Sofia Vergara has attracted attention in recent months due to her new acting project, playing a renowned drug trafficker; however, she was strongly criticized by this late criminal, Griselda Blanco‘s son, for her ‘disrespectful‘ performance.
In the new Netflix series titled ‘Griselda‘, the Colombian actress looks unrecognizable to play the main character, the drug queenpin. But according to recent statements by her son, Michael Corleone Blanco, her interpretation and acts around its production are ‘disrespectful’.
“Sofía Vergara did not consult with any members of the Blanco family as a sign of respect or elicit family details in portraying my mother”, said the man to Fox News. “When I learned of the ‘Griselda’ project, my team reached out to Sofia’s camp and offered my consultation services“, he added.
In response to his offer, Vergara, who also works as the executive producer of the show, and her team told him that there was ‘no room on the project‘ for his consulting services. “Sofia’s camp and the Netflix creators were disrespectful and ultimately produced the ‘Griselda’ project on their own for commercial gain, without key details from the Blanco family“.
“After the sit-down at the table, my lawyers formally sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix and Sofia’s camp. As of today, neither Netflix nor Sofia’s camp has made any attempt to reconcile“, he added.
“Regardless of public information, basic respect is warranted“, he said, and he assured that “I am Griselda’s only living son who has life rights agreements signed by Griselda herself in which she intended to carry out her life story“.
