Sofía Vergara has become one of the great protagonists of international news. The American actress is immersed in the promotion of her new Netflix series, Griselda, which will arrive in the streaming platform's catalog on January 25. The fiction is inspired by the life of Griselda Blanco, one of the most feared Colombian drug traffickers of all time, even by Pablo Escobar himself.
The six-episode miniseries stars Sofía Vergara and recounts the events that occurred during the seventies and eighties around the life of this woman known as ''the godmother of cocaine'' or ''the black widow. '', and that he was able to create one of the most important drug cartels in history.
But the premiere of this new series has not been without controversy. This past weekend, it came to light that one of Griselda Blanco's sons, Michael Corleone Blanco, had made the decision to sue both the leading actress and Netflix "for using his mother's image without authorization." .
According to TMZ, Griselda Blanco's son would have given the rights to the life of his mother and her family to another production company. For this reason, Blanco's family has not seen favorably the use that Netflix has made of the images and plots related to the Colombian's life. In this way, Griselda Blanco's family has seen no other solution than to go to court, where they will try to paralyze the premiere of the fiction.
Despite this controversy, Michael Corleone Blanco has spent years immersed in different interviews and consultations with major production companies to adapt his mother's life on television or the big screen. However, as the aforementioned media explained, Griselda Blanco's son believes that Netflix has made improper use of his family's stories and materials since they would not have received the required credit and remuneration.
This media commotion is very reminiscent of what the red giant experienced a few months ago with the premiere of The Body on Fire, the series starring Úrsula Corberó and Quim Gutiérrez, and which narrated the well-known crime of the Urban Police. And Rosa Peral tried from prison to paralyze, unsuccessfully, the premiere of this series, which was finally launched at the beginning of September.
