Jorge Porcel Jr. and Vadalá family to sue Moria Casán Netflix series

The Netflix biographical series about Argentine entertainer Moria Casán has sparked legal threats from the families of two deceased figures portrayed in it. Jorge Porcel Jr., son of comedian Jorge Porcel, announced he will sue the production for using his father's name and image without authorization or payment. Meanwhile, Ingrid Vadalá, daughter of Moria's third husband Luis Vadalá, has confirmed a lawsuit against the production and Netflix, arguing her father was misrepresented as "grotesque" and vulgar Source: Clarin, Infobae.

The claims

• Porcel Jr. insists his dispute is economic, not about the portrayal: "I'm going to sue the production because they are using my father's name and I have the rights." He demands compensation for any appearance, stating "the production company and the platform are going to have to pay me" Source: La Voz del Interior.
• Ingrid Vadalá rejects the depiction of her father as uneducated and a drug user: "My dad was not a person like that, he was a gentleman, an educated and respectful man" Source: Infobae. She also claims the series distorted the relationship's beginning and end Source: Clarin.

Disagreements

Sources note that Vadalá himself had publicly claimed Moria introduced him to cocaine, which complicates the family's argument. Panelists on LAM debated whether the series merely reflects Vadalá's own statements Source: Infobae. Porcel Jr. declined to comment on the portrayal of his father as a harasser, saying "I don't talk about other people's acts" Source: Clarin.

What's next

Porcel Jr. said he has a team of four lawyers and hopes for an amicable agreement, but is prepared for litigation Source: Clarin. Neither Netflix nor the production has publicly responded to the claims Source: La Voz del Interior.
