Griselda, the Netflix miniseries, has recently garnered attention due to a lawsuit filed against the show and its star, Sofia Vergara, by the children of the real-life Griselda Blanco. The series, which delves into the life of the infamous Colombian drug lord operating in Florida during the 1980s, has faced allegations of unauthorized use of the Blanco family's likeness and interviews.
In response to the lawsuit, both Sofia Vergara and the show's co-creator, Eric Newman, have addressed the situation in an interview with ET. Newman, no stranger to such controversies as he had faced similar claims from the Escobar family during the production of the TV series Narcos, expressed his belief in the importance of telling their version of the story. He emphasized that their aim was to portray a specific narrative, which they believe they accomplished without infringing on anyone else's creative freedom.
