SOFIA Vergara has been sued by Griselda Blanco's estate as the family wants to block the Netflix show's release.
Netflix is releasing a show titled Griselda where Sofia portrays the drug lord and Blanco's children are trying to prevent it from releasing next week.
According to TMZ, Griselda's children have gone to court asking the judge for an injunction to block the show's premiere.
Reportedly Michael, Griselda's son, claims he's been doing interviews with someone who is trying to get his life story.
He claims he's been doing these interviews from 2009 - 2022.

Michael says this Netflix show leans a lot on his personal materials but that he never had any money come his way.
The outlet reported reported Griselda's siblings are suing, claiming "Netflix ripped off their family story."
Griselda's children are claiming the likeness of their images in the show "without their permission violate their rights."
Griselda is scheduled to be released on January 25, 2024.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Sofia and Netflix for comment.
'IT WAS AMAZING'
On January 18, Sofia was on Jimmy Fallon to promote the new Netflix show.
The Modern Family actress was forced to walk back a slip of the tongue.
To get into character for Griselda, she told Jimmy she had to learn some new skills.
"I didn’t know anything," Sofia admitted, before praising Griselda director Andrés Baiz.
"He taught me how to smoke. He taught me how to do cocaine. He taught me a lot."

Jimmy looked instantly uncomfortable at Sofia's criminal confession, as the studio audience roared with laughter.
Unaware of what she said, Sofia continued: "It was amazing because I was 51 years old and I didn’t even know how to, you know, how to light a cigarette."
She added, "I’ve never done cocaine. So it’s like, it was amazing. It was, like, a great experience."
Again, the audience went wild with laughter as Sofia finally realized what she was saying.
"No, no! The cocaine that I did was fake! It was not real cocaine. It’s fake cocaine, but I had to pretend," she explained.
"The cigarettes are also fake. Everything was, it’s fake."
She confessed, "The acting was real."
ACROSS THE POND
Last week, Sofia was in London to celebrate the premiere of Griselda.
Her America's Got Talent co-host Simon Cowell showed his support for the movie star at the show's premiere.
The two TV personalities posed for a photo while they were at a Special Screening and Q&A Event for Griselda.

In July, news broke that Sofia's ex-husband Joe Manganiello filed for divorce, with the couple stating: "We have made the difficult decision to divorce.
"As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
Two days after releasing the announcement, Joe filed for divorce from Sofia after seven years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The U.S. Sun reported how Sofia’s love of partying was reportedly one of the factors in her split.
While Sofia has found a new romance, Joe has also moved on with actress Caitlin O’Conner.
