Son of Colombian Cartel Queen Griselda Blanco Suing Actress Sophia Vergera Over Netflix Movie

Colombian actress Sophia Vergera is under fire for her depiction of Colombia’s most infamous drug queenpin Griselda Blanco.

According to Fox News — Michael Corleone Blanco and his wife Marie filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County on Jan. 17, alleging “unauthorized” use of his “artistic literary work” and the family’s “image, likeness and/or identity.”

Blanco claimed in the lawsuit that Netflix usedinformation from private interviews he did about his mother’s life for its limited series without his authorization and without compensating him.

Eric Newman, creator and executive producer of “Griselda,” told Today.com: “I dealt with similar suits from Pablo Escobar, his family, during the making of ‘Narcos.’ I tend not to think much about them. It just feels a little bit unsurprising and kind of comes with the territory.”

The limited series premieres January 25.

Mexican Kingpin El Chapo Letter Accuses US Prison Officials of Bullying Him Out of Fear He Will Escape Again

Mexico drug cartel leader El Chapo’s previous two escapes from Mexican prisons were nothing short of amazing.

I can’t imagine the amount of compliance it takes for a mastermind scheme of that magnitude to be perfectly executed. Now the cartel boss is locked up in Unites States custody in a federal maximum security prison in Colorado.

He recently wrote a letter to the Chicago judge who sent him there accusing the officials of mistreatment, bullying & keeping him on permanent lockdown 23 hours a day because they fear he will slip away again. He also says he is not receiving new attorney documents for new court motions.

According to ABC 7 Chicago, nobody has ever broken out of the super max security facility, which is also referred to as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” since its opening in 1994.

Do you think El Chapo can pull off another escape plan? I think the US judicial and prison system is a lot different than Mexico. Once the Feds lock in it’s really no escape from that.
