Sofia Vergara’s latest role as the late Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in Netflix’s “Griselda” has sparked controversy. The son of the real-life “Cocaine Godmother,” Michael Corleone Blanco, has expressed his disappointment and labeled the portrayal of his mother in the series as “disrespectful.”

In a new interview with the U.K’s Daily Mail , Michael further shares his concerns about the depiction of his mother’s appearance and called for more respect and consultation with the family. While speaking with the outlet, Michael Blanco explained he was specifically disappointment with the series for portraying his mother as “ugly.” Sofia Vergara underwent a two-hour transformation using prosthetics to portray Griselda Blanco. However, Michael believes that his mother was a beautiful woman and that the show’s depiction is disrespectful. He emphasizes that people should not judge his mother solely based on her mug shots but should instead read his book to understand the true nature of his mother’s beauty.

“My mother was a beautiful woman, and it’s crazy that a lot of people say, ‘No, you’ve got to look more like a drug addict’… The fact that they called her ‘ugly,’ that really offends me. People see the mug shots and just go from that, but when you read my book, you’ll see that my mother was called the porcelain doll in her youth,” he said before adding,

“All I have to say is that if my mother was alive, she wouldn’t have got away with it,” he noted, referring to Vergara. “No matter what, you need to respect my mother enough to seek the consultation of [her] youngest son – her best friend who visited her five times a week during her… incarceration.”

More On Griselda Blanco:

Griselda Blanco was a single mother of four who gained notoriety as a cartel leader during the ’70s and ’80s. Known for her iron-fisted control of a cocaine empire, she was often referred to as “the female Pablo Escobar.” Blanco’s life was filled with controversy, power, and violence. However, her son Michael believes that her portrayal in the Netflix series fails to capture her true essence.

Michael Blanco has previously expressed to Fox News that the producers did not seek consultation from him, his mother’s youngest son and closest confidant, during the making of the series. He believes that if his mother were alive, she would not have approved of the portrayal. Michael’s close relationship with his mother, visiting her five times a week during her incarceration, gives him a unique perspective on her life. He calls for more respect and consideration for his mother’s legacy.

Legal Action:

According to Fox News, Sofia Vergara and Netflix are being sued by Michael over the star’s portrayal of the late Colombian drug lord.

Michael along with 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.”

Michael Blanco’s Journey:

Following his mother’s death, Michael Blanco claimed to have turned his life around. He has been vocal about his mother’s influence on his life and has appeared on the VH1 reality TV series “Cartel Crew” in 2019. Michael’s transformation and his efforts to distance himself from his mother’s criminal past demonstrate his desire to create a different legacy for himself.

Vergara has not yet responded to Michael Corleone Blanco. Meanwhile, the actress has been whiskey praised for her expressive portrayal on the infamous Griselda Blanco.
