Remember the legal tussle between the notorious Griselda Blanco’s family and Netflix over the limited series “Griselda”? Well, buckle up, gossip hounds, because there’s an update! The legal battle has officially ended, and we have the tea.
Here’s the scoop: Blanco’s son, Michael, and his wife, Marie, sued the streaming giant and Sofia Vergara, claiming their family’s images and likenesses were used without permission. They even tried to block the series’ release, spicy stuff! The lawsuit alleged the show used Michael’s “private artistic work” without credit, causing “irreparable harm.”
But plot twist! The family’s lawyer dismissed the complaint on February 9th, meaning it’s over and done with, like a spilled cup of café con leche. No details on the settlement, but hey, at least the drama is finito!
Remember the players’ reactions? Eric Newman, the show’s creator, wasn’t fazed by the lawsuit, comparing it to the Escobar family drama during “Narcos.” He was confident in his story, and boom, the series became a hit! Michael, on the other hand, found watching “Griselda” “very emotional,” understandable after all.
And the winner is…? The series! Despite the legal hiccup, “Griselda” became Netflix’s number one show in 89 countries! Critics loved it too, with an 88% rating. So, while the lawsuit caused a stir, the series sizzled with success.
The final act: This settlement closes the book on the legal battle, leaving both parties to move on. Griselda Blanco’s legacy lives on, and Netflix continues to churn out hits. Who knows what drama awaits next? Stay tuned, gossip gourmands, because the entertainment world is always serving piping hot tea!
