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.
