, Black Widow, the Cocaine Godmother, was the true queen of the cartels. Already in her childhood, she was actively involved in the criminal world. At the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, she managed drug smuggling from Colombia to the United States, and was also involved in settlements and the drug war in Miami. In fact, it was she who brought drug terror to the USA, and the corpses were not only among her competitors, but also among her relatives and husbands. The series “Griselda”, inspired by La Madrina’s biography, debuted. The production also touched upon the topic of Griselda’s sons. What happened to them?
The Sons of Griselda Blanco. Did the series show the truth?
The “Cocaine Godmother” had four sons. The three fathered by her first husband, Carlos Trujillo, Dixon, Uber and Osvaldo, were killed. In the series, Griselda learns about this from an intelligence agent. Indeed, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General confirmed in the 1990s that Dixon, Uber and Osvaldo died shortly after being released from a U.S. prison. They were most likely murdered during cartel settlements. Dixon was shot and killed in Florida while walking to his car. Uber was killed in Colombia, where he was dealing drugs. Osvaldo, called Ozzy, died in mysterious circumstances while visiting a nightclub.
His father died before his eyes, his mother spent most of his childhood in prison. What is Michael Corleone Blanco doing today?
The youngest, Michael Corleone Blanco, named after the hero of “The Godfather”, was the son of Dario Sepulveda, Griselda’s third husband. After the breakup, the man took the child from Miami to Colombia. He hoped that his connections with Pablo Escobar and other drug lords would protect him from Griselda’s wrath, but La Madrina was furious. She paid to get rid of her ex and get her baby back.
The plan worked. Dario in front of his several-year-old son, and Michael returned to Miami. Although he lived in the shadow of his mother’s drug business, which spent most of his childhood behind bars, he long resisted following in her footsteps. Although he has had an episode of drug dealing behind him, today he is engaged in legal activities. Griselda Blanco died on September 3, 2012 in the Colombian city of Medellín, shot in the street by a passing motorcyclist. While still alive, mainly thanks to Michael, she became the heroine of documentary films.
Michael Corleone threatened the production. He doesn’t like how Netflix portrayed his mother
Michael Corleone, now 45, did not hide his disappointment after the premiere of the series. He sued the production, including Sofia Vergara, over the portrayal of his mother. In his opinion, “Griselda” disgusts La Madrina’s image, and the characterization does not do it justice. His mother was actually a true beauty, especially in her youth. In the conversation, he threatened that “if his mother was alive, Sofia Vergara would not have gotten away with it.” – My mother was a beautiful woman – he emphasized. – The fact that they call her “ugly” really offends me – he added, emphasizing that the photographs taken during her arrests and in prison were not fair to Griselda. – She wasn’t a saint, but I’ll tell you something. My mother was a star and a queen, he confessed.
