## Caption

While Netflix's hit drama 'May December' has been attracting critical and audience praise, Vili Fualaau, the man whose life story inspired the plot, has less positive things to say about the film. ⁠
⁠
“I’m still alive and well,” he said. “If they had reached out to me, we could have worked together on a masterpiece. Instead, they chose to do a ripoff of my original story. I’m offended by the entire project and the lack of respect given to me — who lived through a real story and is still living it.”⁠
⁠
⁠
While Fualaau expressed willingness to collaborate with writers who can capture the complexities of his life, he said “May December” does not accurately portray it.⁠
