Vili Fualaau, the ex-husband of Mary Kay Letourneau in a tabloid-famous statutory rape case, has spoken out against a critically acclaimed film inspired by the scandal.
May December, an awards season contender released by Netflix, tells the story of an actor, Elizabeth Berry (Natalie Portman), who observes the relationship between Gracie (Julianne Moore) and her husband, Joe Yoo (Charles Melton), whom she seduced when she was 36 and he was 13. The film is loosely based on the real-life events of Mary Kay Letourneau, a 34-year-old teacher who victimized her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau, in 1996, becoming a tabloid fixture.
