Sofía Vergara has been sued for Netflix’s new show ‘Griselda’ in which she is stars as the eponymous Griselda Blanco.
Griselda show has not been released yet, however, it is already coming under fire from none other than the Cocaine Godmother’s family.
As per the reports, Griselda Blanco’s son, Michael, has filed a lawsuit against Netflix and Vergara, who stars in the show and acted as a producer on the upcoming series. The eight-episode series is officially streaming on Netflix on January 25.
The lawsuit alleged that Michael has been ‘providing interviews since 2009 to individuals interested in developing his life story and that of his mother’ and that he was under the impression that those conversations would lead to a television series and a book.
The talks started in 2016 and ended in 2022, and the suit also notes that Netflix was one of the entities he’d spoken to. In the end, nobody ever pursued a project with him, and he now claims that the upcoming limited series relies heavily on the material that he provided.
Neither Netflix nor Vergara have officially commented on the situation, which amounts to Michael saying that his life has been appropriated for the show.
