Griselda Blanco's real life son Michael SLAMS 'disrespectful' Sofia Vergara for making his mom 'ugly' in Netflix series - and claims Colombian actress wouldn't have 'got away' with shunning the family from new show if his drug lord mother was still alive


In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Griselda's only surviving son, accused Sofia, 51, of disrespecting Colombian culture by not consulting him.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com about his anger and disappointment over the fact Sofia and her team refused his offer to consult on the project, Michael Corleone Blanco, 45, labeled the rejection a 'slap in the face' - and said they 'wouldn't have got away with it' if his mother was still alive. Griselda's only surviving son also criticized the 'disrespectful' decision to transform Sofia's superstar looks with facial prosthetics for her portrayal of his famous mother - the first female criminal billionaire who held a reign of terror during Miami's Cocaine Cowboys drug wars of the 1970s and '80s. Sofia's new series was eight years in the making and Michael revealed he had been aware of her interest in telling his mother's story - with the Blanco Family Fincas businessman even reaching out to offer his services as a consultant.
