  • Sofia Vergara and Netflix are being sued by the family of late Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco over the upcoming miniseries 'Griselda', in which Vergara plays Blanco.
  • Blanco's son, Michael, alleges that he had been providing interviews since 2009 to individuals interested in developing his life story and that of his mother into a production.
  • He claims that Netflix expressed interest in the project but did not want to utilize any details or consultations from his interviews.
  • However, he alleges that the upcoming miniseries heavily relies on his anecdotes and materials without proper compensation.
  • The Blanco children are urgently seeking a court injunction to prevent the show's release.
