if your going to do something, do it well. If she was a mid level distributor nobody would care, the fact she became leader of her field and world reknown in such a crazy time is why the world keeps paying her attention and why his family are still able to eat to this day. He probably sees it as a my mother has to sacrifice so we can be here type of thing, and has to deal with the dichotomy of her wicked actions vs the fact the world seems to enjoy her story and will pay to hear it
Made his mom look like a saint in every interview he’s done. Respectfully your mom was a killer, and the ones that really know that is the killers she had around her not her son.
He definitely did not make her sound like a saint and is not denying who his mother is, but how tf would somebody know more about his mom that was not around his mom than him. People make documentaries out of word to mouth. Is she a killer yes. Is she a drug lord yes. But thats still his mom. He can still love her. And besides, somebody has to be a drug lord
Griselda son was a kid back then. I don't think mommy told him the whole truth. It's cute how she's just mommy to him when she's one of the most dangerous women ever.
I know Michael was a young boy when all this happened and people don’t believe his story, but I think you all are forgetting that Griselda died in 2012. Michael spoke to his mother on a regular basis. This story isn’t just based on his memories, but also on her words.

Theres no reason to believe he knows the story as it is especially when it comes from the mouth of manipulative and probably sociopathic woman.
In a sense? Well, she kinda was Superwoman, otherwise she wouldn't have gone down in herstory as the MOST powerful drug lord ever to exist. She created the game and trade. That's Wonder Woman AND Superwoman for that inception of business. Sadly, she wasn't saving people though lol

Actually, Netflix painted her positively. She was a murderer from a child and didn't mind harming children. That wouldn't look good for their star character. They have to make her sympathetic/likable.

Yes she did a great job for what it was. I just CANNOT get over how she looked NOTHING like Griselda. It was WAY off. Griselda was not curvy and voluptuous in any way.
Netflix most likely doesn't care what they get. It's the producers of the show that put out the final product... including Sofia Vergara. She has an executive producer credit on the show. Netflix just distributes... that's it.

From Michael’s perspective I feel like it’s not even accurate. According to him, his mom didn’t kill anyone, she was an angel, she wasn’t a monster, she didn’t struggle and was like such victim. Bro there’s a reason why everyone knows his mom killed these men especially his father. Because she fucking did kill them. He denies the bad version of her and her actions because that’s his mommy. You know how many moms tell their kids lies to make them seem less horrible? A lot. His mother was I’m sure a lovely giving person at heart for her kids and people she related to but she killed those men ! She’s a monster at the end of the day. Once a killer always a killer. All respect for Michael and his family but his side of things are too unrealistic. Let me also add that Griselda isn’t based on Scarface. It’s based on Al Capone ! The real gangster. Michael has mentioned that the movie was based off of his mother but the timeline doesn’t add up. Griselda was after Scarface even came out. This man glorifies his mother so much that it makes me wonder how he even talks to his own kids about it. His kids are going to continue glorifying the monster that ruined many families and took so many lives !
I don’t be believing 90 percent of what comes out his mouth , he was young and probably did see couple things here and there but he def stretches the truth way to much ….
As a mom she may never tell the truth to her son because we protect the love of our kids we want them to see us as hero not a villain! As much as he thinks he knows the truth he was very little , ! One person has a lot of way to behave depending on who she dealing with!
Yeah, but if you have parents or any other family member who are involved with the drug cartels or any other criminal organizations, then it's best not to talk about it to others.
I can’t believe how this guy talks proudly about his mother, her murders and all the crimes she committed. I would be hidden for my entire life if my mother had done 1% of what his mother did of shame and guilty.
It’s the 1970’s there was cocaine wars everywhere. His family got the justice from other people by killing his brothers. He should be able to love them no matter what, all of the crime and bad doings is in the past and over with.
@@SfKitty I understand what you mean, however this interview happened just now, and he still thinks his mother is a “hero” or a “genius”. Griselda was just a psychopath that found on the drug dealing a way to practice the monstrosity she had inside. She did not love her kids, otherwise she would have never exposed her kids to those situations. Seems like the family brainwashed him to believe she was a big shot, when she was mentally ill.
@@SfKitty The cocaine wars aren't really a total excuse for the stuff she did, Griselda would take shit way further than it needed to go, that's why she was known as being so ruthless, she didn't give a shit about innocent people dying in the crossfire. She actually ordered hits on the children of her enemies; Rivi was interviewed in jail for the documentary "Cocaine Cowboys" and talked about that.
The reason they didn't do a 100% accurate story is due to creative artistic license defense in case they get sued, which they did by her son. The suit will get tossed out of court and he gets nothing.
Glorify his mom? Netflix made a Multi million dollar tv show about her. Who’s really glorifying her? He’s just saying from his perspective as actually being her son the shit wasn’t accurate. He has a right to tell his own life story since Netflix wants to tell it..Lol
Listen Griselda was no Saint. She played a dirty game n got the consequences. However, I agree with Michael. If you’re gonna make a story about an actual person you want to at least make it right. I personally didn’t feel the power that would even make Escobar to say “The only man I was ever afraid of was Griselda Blanco” it didn’t pack a punch.
Like the story is so HUGE. There’s no way Netflix did research on her. My grandma was in Miami around this time and she knew who the Godmother was. I asked her what she thought of the series and she said the series did no justice to what it was actually like at that time.
That always seems to be the case huh. I’m reading “Killers Of The Flower Moon” and it’s become my favorite book. I can tell he was inspired by “The Devil In The White City” which I also loved. Scared to my wits about watching the movie or even the trailer. I can’t imagine it can possible match how good the book is
Regardless of what his mother did..it was his mother and she probably sheltered him more than the rest and even if she didnt there is no love like a mothers love..its the only life he knew at the time and he isnt necessarily glorrifying his mother ITS HIS MOTHER HES PROUD OF HIS MOTHER DOESNT MATTER THAT YALL DONT UNDERSTAND IT..Its not your life..SHE WAS THE FIRST OF HER KIND TO DO IT..GOTTA RESPECT IT
GOTTA RESPECT WHAT ? You can love your loved one and still recognize their wrongdoings accurately. Are you aware of the real story and background ? The killings and her sons eventual deaths? Have you thought about the fact that money is involved- a book and movie ?
People so hell bent on accuracy, the son wants his mom to get more credit as a drug lord. Bottom line she put plays in motion that destroyed families just like other drug dealers. She put her kids in harms way. This is the glorified American history that removes people from reality. She doesn't deserve more. We do.
@@mrrockets32 are you good? You’re very much under everyone’s comments not trying to refute that drug dealing and killing people isn’t that bad. Why is that? Can you relate? 🤔
Um anyone who's watched Goodfellas or any mob movies needs to take several seats. This is the life of a gangster, why doesn't she get the same respect? Because she's Latina or a woman ? And yall wanna talk about her killing people? Our government was intentionally letting the drugs in so that they could incarcerate brown and black people. But our government is not corrupt or kill people . People are really ignorant
Sounds like he knows more than we think he does. Sounds to me like the torch was being handed off but was all put to a halt due to her passing. This is his way to get as much recognition that he lost. That family was and will always be powerful no matter what way you want to look at it
@@breezie904powerful for the reason that when you have power you not only worked with many people and many people will always owe you favors. He is alive for a reason and He is a man that will keep the generation thrive that will always have power
Im sure they had their reasons (or maybe they just made bad decisions) but I feel Netflix missed a massive obvious opportunity to create a multi season masterpiece form this woman's life story.
My thoughts on the series right after I watched it, I told my husband that the acting was good. However, it felt like a lot of pieces were missing. I never watched Cocaine Cowboys but I just knew that Griselda having a hard time selling ONE kilo in Miami was hard to believe.
that arc about the struggle of her selling that kilo was important to build up for what was going to happen in the story, it propelled the flow of the episodes in a fictional way.
Damn, this story is fascinating. I won't watch the Griselda movie on Netflix since they never tell an accurate story without embellishments. Documentaries are the best telling of this and this interview with her son. That woman was wild.
A very intriguing interview. I've been fascinated with Griselda Blanco story since the early 90's.I immediately subscribed I can't get enough of this fascinating woman.
I know Michael was a young boy when all this happened and people don’t believe his story, but I think you all are forgetting that Griselda died in 2012. Michael spoke to his mother on a regular basis. This story isn’t just based on his memories, but also on her words.
Do you honestly believe that Griselda is going to be totally honest with her son about the heinous shit that she did? If you actually want to listen to someone that is believable listen to Rivi, he was actually around Griselda. There's an interview in the documentary "Cocaine Cowboys" with Rivi, and he talks about how Griselda was actually happy when RIvi accidentally killed Chucho's son, she also ordered other hits on the children of her enemies. Do you honestly think she is going to tell her son she ordered hits on kids?
He would add some credibility to his version of the story if he didn't gloss over her evil deeds and not mention the murders she committed. He seems in total to be proud of her drug lord life. If you only listen to his words, you would think shw was a hero.
💯💯💯💯well said! I dont think people expect him to hate his mother . He just sounds like he painting a different picture. This woman is accused of killing at least 40 people in the US alone.
Mikey!!! I actually grew up with this dude in Miami back in the 90s. What was a trip is that we never knew he was that connected until years later after watching Cocaine Cowboys. 🤣Glad to see he's doing good nowadays..
@@julian6411 That's a disrespectful comment. You outta line for that but I'll let you know, he was always a stand-up dude. Talk that shit in person, you get your jaw wired
Glad i caught this ! Been intrigued by this woman since '08 after having watched the 1st Cocaine Cowboys. As a Belgian kid i was really intimidated every time there were news reports on either the NY mafia or the hell in Miami. Had an uncle who was there in '84 and never got out of his hotel room for 10 days bc of the gunshots during daylight. And at night it was way worse he said later on.
He was born in 78, his mum was arrested in 85. He was only 7 years old how the hell does he have detailed knowledge of his mother's life? His brothers were all killed when she was in prison. You honestly think she will be disclosing all her wrong doings to him?
That was my problem. The Griselda series could have been a few seasons long. Instead they crammed her whole existence into like 3 years. It confused the hell outta me because things were taking place on top of each other. They didn’t show her NY run or anything.
He loves his mom. Even though she killed hundreds of people, that doesn’t bother him. He’s still proud of her and sees her as his sweet mommy and a great entrepreneur
He can still make his version that the people will love because of his close connection. Just make it happen the people will watch like we've never heard her story before. There's room for more
I was wondering if he had something to do with this series. It should be illegal to tell al life story if they have relatives who were close to them still alive
@@blui7229Other people are making so much money off his mothers name…so why can’t he ..he’s her son and he has a right more than anyone and should tell her story.. I don’t know why the producers of Griselda didn’t have him involved in the Griselda series..And you know had him involved in the making of the characters and the plot etc.
Pablo died in the city of Medellin because he realized how easy the search bloc was locating him In the outskirts as they were tapping his phone. He realized he would be much harder to find if he was moving around the city of Medellin where he could drive around in a cab with a hitman in the back and he wouldn't be easily spotted.
I found it hard to believe she had such a difficult time selling 1 kilo of cocaine. That was way of for me. I would love to see her story told as it really was. It's sad that the Netflix series is so off. I haven't finished watching it. But I do plan to. It's really something how much she loved her boys. I often wonder why people like her in an illegal business would want their children to be in it. All that money and her children could have gone into so many other businesses that were legal. I just can't wrap my mind around it.
While I did love corbens documentaries, and I have compassion for Michael Corleone as I have affable criminals in my family that I’m fond of, it is wild that he seems offended that they would suggest she ever had any problem selling a single kilo. It’s Almost as if he’s quick to point out “you know those drug dealers who are just trying to put food on the table for their families? That’s not my mom, she was the jefe.”
I think he’s looking at it in the wrong way. & 2 things can be true at once. I didn’t look at it as she’s broke and couldn’t sell 1 kilo, bc in all reality we know she was the big fish. I think it was more so to depict her coming into new turf, which was true bc she was new to Miami, & her trying to find connects down there to sell her product. So to him he’s seeing it as my mother wasn’t this broke lady who couldn’t sell a key, but on the grand scale of things, she may have struggled to sell that key bc she obviously had to find her way around new grounds.
It buffles me how this Michael guy is so proud of his ruthless, extremely violent, serial killer, delinquent he had for a mother! He's just like his monster mother, he has zero regrets or empathy but the massive amounts of innocent people she killed with fire arms and with drugs! Scary!
I’m so glad to see her family get to tell her story. Her life has always sparked curiosity in me. I always wanna know the truth. As scary as she had to be… no one can doubt her strength and her power. I wanted to know what she’d been through.
I think Michael Blanco should have been a part of the making if any thing related to his family.... he knows sooooò much I want to hearths TRUE STORY ..... I want to see how ruthless she was but also how loving she was and everything inbetween
I really appreciate Micheal telling the REAL story ! I remember growing up in the 80s in LA Compton to be exact and my uncles coming over to tell my dad who they had met! Of course I had NO idea who she was when they would say.. mi nina until I was old enough to understand what they did for a living!
Everyone on here talking about she was probably a good mother, how tf can you be a good mother while being a kingpin. Being a good mother and a kingpin don’t go together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing how the love from a son to his mother can rise above all. Griselda did countless horrible acts to people around her, yet her son sees her as his loving mother, which is accurate in his isolated world that his mother had him living in. I can’t blame him for loving his mother, at the same time can’t blame her victims for hating her.
It’s weird how some people want him to HATE his mom for her choices . It’s still his MOM no matter how much of a “monster” she was. He is going off how his experience with her was.
I'm glad Michael is doing this and doing it this soon after the Griselda series coming out on Netflix. Didn't waste no time for the energy to die down. 🎯💯💪🏿
I am obsessed with this story!! I translated a contract back in 2011 for Griselda Blanco and Michael Corleone, for the rights of a production that was going to take place before she died in 2012...Not sure if the production company was able to accomplish that... I still have the final copy of the translation I did...never knew if she/they received it or signed it. I am in complete shock that I have some sort of connection with them...I was not aware at the time of the cocaine empire she started!!! Btw...I was paud very little money bc I had just started to work as a translator, and that was my first legal contract 😮 #iminshock
An important factor to remember here is that he’s talking about his mother from the age perspective of when he lost her, so as an adultescent. Before the age of being able to truly see the parent for who they are, before you question them. On top of that she was loving towards him, so he doesn’t have it in him to believe she was a monster. Bet he doesn’t even believe she had anything to do with his dads murder. It’ll shatter his whole existence because his entire immediate family were each murdered. This man carries so much trauma which he won’t get therapy for, it’ll uncover and dismantle his whole world. Well, this is the psychological pov 😂. Sorry for the essay
Billy you got me interested in this story back in 03. Been obsessed ever since. I especially recommend reading the books "American desperado" by jon roberts and "the man who made it snow" by max mermalstein. Both great additions to the stories you told with many of the same characters.
When you've actually seen the original Cocaine Cowboys documentaries, you knew even in the first episode that Sophia is a good actor, but didn't really hit the nail on the head in diving into Griselda... Listen to Griselda's son (of course he doesn't look at her as a bad person), he knows his mom, they were very close, and note that the son is right there with the co-creator of the Cocaine Cowboys franchise.. validity to the story HE told... He came the closest...
This show is to show the struggle of the beginning of an empire. I think Griselda did it well. On this show it is a young child describing stories told to him. Still amazing the new York part wasn't included at all.

I believe Sofia said they didn’t have the funds or the time, if only they had those two elements I think it would have been a great show
theyre probably scared lol but wanted to do something.
I’m from a neighborhood riddled with drug addicts, murderers and broken families. Your mom had a major hand in all that. Thanks
Supply and demand. Adults know right from wrong 😂
You sound like the kind of fairy who blames his food for the sh!t he’ll take tomorrow.🤣🤣🤣👍🥃
Nah the people in your neighborhood had a hand in that. Lol. How you gonna blame the supplier?
Hey your crackhead momma was gonna smoke regardless it’s who ya are how u think Latinos became Kings!!
You should blame your parents for raising you there 🤣
As her son he should be embarrassed of all the chaos his mom did to innocent people.
You should be embarrassed to look at your kids
He’s telling his mothers real story!! Not talking about his feeling towards his parents I’m sure there’s a lot of trauma in him 😢
If I was him I would feel just like the children and grandchildren who started this country and it damn sure ain’t embarrassed! Only difference is his mom didn’t own and control the fuckin media!
Why? He didn't do anything, he was just a child and not responsible for what his mom did.
How’s that embarrassing? 🤣 I’d be proud
He sounds so proud of his mother. His mother was no saint she was a ruthless killer!
That’s just your opinion man.
I’m surprised 50 haven’t approached Mike about a series. I think an actual show on a big network would be much better and attract a bigger audience.
agreed
You can never trust them..
Nah 50 don’t need to do this
50 Hate When We Put Italian Stories Over Our Off Of His Documentary Saying Why Anyone Would Wanna Name Their Self Gotti We Got So Many Ppl As Well I Rather A Real Muhammad Ali Story From A Kid 2 His Death All The Trials Through Life A Series If Possible R A Oprah From Beginning 2 Now!!!!!1❤
N😅noo😅n
From Michael’s perspective I feel like it’s not even accurate. According to him, his mom didn’t kill anyone, she was an angel, she wasn’t a monster, she didn’t struggle and was like such victim. Bro there’s a reason why everyone knows his mom killed these men especially his father. Because she fucking did kill them. He denies the bad version of her and her actions because that’s his mommy. You know how many moms tell their kids lies to make them seem less horrible? A lot. His mother was I’m sure a lovely giving person at heart for her kids and people she related to but she killed those men ! She’s a monster at the end of the day. Once a killer always a killer. All respect for Michael and his family but his side of things are too unrealistic. Let me also add that Griselda isn’t based on Scarface. It’s based on Al Capone ! The real gangster. Michael has mentioned that the movie was based off of his mother but the timeline doesn’t add up. Griselda was after Scarface even came out. This man glorifies his mother so much that it makes me wonder how he even talks to his own kids about it. His kids are going to continue glorifying the monster that ruined many families and took so many lives !
Hush let him be a son you be a fan you wasted 30 min of your life to leave a Karen comment.
@@TheStreetsTalk321You hush. I'm glad they said it I was thinking the same thing.
@@TheStreetsTalk321spoken like a true douchebag
@@TheStreetsTalk321she kinda right dude
I don’t be believing 90 percent of what comes out his mouth , he was young and probably did see couple things here and there but he def stretches the truth way to much ….
As a mom she may never tell the truth to her son because we protect the love of our kids we want them to see us as hero not a villain! As much as he thinks he knows the truth he was very little , ! One person has a lot of way to behave depending on who she dealing with!
Yeah, but if you have parents or any other family member who are involved with the drug cartels or any other criminal organizations, then it's best not to talk about it to others.
Yep it’s called bias lol.
I can’t believe how this guy talks proudly about his mother, her murders and all the crimes she committed. I would be hidden for my entire life if my mother had done 1% of what his mother did of shame and guilty.
It’s the 1970’s there was cocaine wars everywhere. His family got the justice from other people by killing his brothers. He should be able to love them no matter what, all of the crime and bad doings is in the past and over with.
@@SfKitty I understand what you mean, however this interview happened just now, and he still thinks his mother is a “hero” or a “genius”. Griselda was just a psychopath that found on the drug dealing a way to practice the monstrosity she had inside. She did not love her kids, otherwise she would have never exposed her kids to those situations. Seems like the family brainwashed him to believe she was a big shot, when she was mentally ill.
@@SfKitty The cocaine wars aren't really a total excuse for the stuff she did, Griselda would take shit way further than it needed to go, that's why she was known as being so ruthless, she didn't give a shit about innocent people dying in the crossfire. She actually ordered hits on the children of her enemies; Rivi was interviewed in jail for the documentary "Cocaine Cowboys" and talked about that.
Sophia's Best Role Hands Down, She went all in like James Franco & Puffed those Cigarettes Steady,that was Crazy.
She killed it . Def coming for that Emmy . I can't stop saying "THE FUCKING" in her voice lmao
😂😂😂😂she does emphasize that every time
The reason they didn't do a 100% accurate story is due to creative artistic license defense in case they get sued, which they did by her son. The suit will get tossed out of court and he gets nothing.
Exactly! Sophia ain’t stupid!! Micheal is going to make some enemies when he glorify his mother history!!
@@louvar02no he’s not stop watching too much movies
The picture he is trying to paint is so delusional and biased. I’m so glad Netflix didn’t bother articulating his perspective 🫤🫠😵💫
Smh they just settled...
Well they messed up by using her name as the title if this is the case, imo. I doubt it goes away so easily, but we’ll see.
This Man Wants To Glorify His Mom.. She Was A Murder.. A Monster..
children murderer are supposed to be Glorified ? WTF is the world coming too
It's his mom. That's what happens when you get love from a parent
Glorify his mom? Netflix made a Multi million dollar tv show about her. Who’s really glorifying her? He’s just saying from his perspective as actually being her son the shit wasn’t accurate. He has a right to tell his own life story since Netflix wants to tell it..Lol
So basically she never killed anybody according to this guy lol
That's his mother of course he loves her I love mine regardless of my mother's life how she lived it's called honor you're mother & father.❤
Listen Griselda was no Saint. She played a dirty game n got the consequences. However, I agree with Michael. If you’re gonna make a story about an actual person you want to at least make it right. I personally didn’t feel the power that would even make Escobar to say “The only man I was ever afraid of was Griselda Blanco” it didn’t pack a punch.
Like the story is so HUGE. There’s no way Netflix did research on her. My grandma was in Miami around this time and she knew who the Godmother was. I asked her what she thought of the series and she said the series did no justice to what it was actually like at that time.
Well it was also a completely fabricated quote, but I agree that there was no heaviness to the Griselda character
I agree, I was expecting a level of intensity like Narco's, they missed it with Griselda
@@akademiks yeah they fabricated it so it could pack a punch but unfortunately it didn’t lol
@@rixotend because narcos is male centred theres multiple series on it..
this lady got 6 episodes they aint tryna give women the wrong idea.
The series really showed Sophia Vagara’s versatility she is an excellent actress
I don’t why but he seems proud of his mothers “business” and her “practice”
Bad or not she was one of the greatest to ever do it… how can’t u especially it being ur life, ur mom
Would love a historically accurate dramatization of it. The true story is way more interesting
That always seems to be the case huh. I’m reading “Killers Of The Flower Moon” and it’s become my favorite book. I can tell he was inspired by “The Devil In The White City” which I also loved.
Scared to my wits about watching the movie or even the trailer. I can’t imagine it can possible match how good the book is
Watch the Catherine Zeta Jones one. I think it was a bit better.
The documentaries are way better.
yeah. The series dissapointed me, after seeing Cocaine Cowboys 2006 and part 2.
Regardless of what his mother did..it was his mother and she probably sheltered him more than the rest and even if she didnt there is no love like a mothers love..its the only life he knew at the time and he isnt necessarily glorrifying his mother ITS HIS MOTHER HES PROUD OF HIS MOTHER DOESNT MATTER THAT YALL DONT UNDERSTAND IT..Its not your life..SHE WAS THE FIRST OF HER KIND TO DO IT..GOTTA RESPECT IT
Exactly
GOTTA RESPECT WHAT ? You can love your loved one and still recognize their wrongdoings accurately. Are you aware of the real story and background ? The killings and her sons eventual deaths? Have you thought about the fact that money is involved- a book and movie ?
@@NicolePhenixI thought the same proud? He’s dad dead brothers dead and mother dead , pretty sad
Her son sounds soooo proud! I don’t understand why? She was a psychopath, murder.
What she did was impressive. That’s his Mom, he sees her as a business woman in a man’s world. Not the bad things
She built an empire. Ever heard of gangus khan? Still known till this day of his power. But killed 10s of millions.
I’d be proud wtf lol
Not to HIM she wasn't
And that's all that matters
@@GORILLA_PIMP
She got all her sons into the business and got them killed. Psychopath!
Michael sounds so proud of his mom like if she did something great for the world
She did lmfao
Glad he’s alive! His childhood would have been crazy
People so hell bent on accuracy, the son wants his mom to get more credit as a drug lord. Bottom line she put plays in motion that destroyed families just like other drug dealers. She put her kids in harms way. This is the glorified American history that removes people from reality. She doesn't deserve more. We do.
So ?
@@mrrockets32 are you good? You’re very much under everyone’s comments not trying to refute that drug dealing and killing people isn’t that bad. Why is that? Can you relate? 🤔
And yet the world continues to pay to hear her story. Sorry what can I tell ya
Um anyone who's watched Goodfellas or any mob movies needs to take several seats. This is the life of a gangster, why doesn't she get the same respect? Because she's Latina or a woman ? And yall wanna talk about her killing people? Our government was intentionally letting the drugs in so that they could incarcerate brown and black people. But our government is not corrupt or kill people . People are really ignorant
Facts
Sounds like he knows more than we think he does. Sounds to me like the torch was being handed off but was all put to a halt due to her passing. This is his way to get as much recognition that he lost. That family was and will always be powerful no matter what way you want to look at it
Powerful? His entire family is dead. He didn't participate in any of the drug rings, therefore the legacy died with her.
@@breezie904powerful for the reason that when you have power you not only worked with many people and many people will always owe you favors. He is alive for a reason and He is a man that will keep the generation thrive that will always have power
@@Unityisnotthesamethe name will always ring bells, but as far as power goes, there's not much to grasp...
Yeah nothing good ever comes with drugs.. heck naw.
Im sure they had their reasons (or maybe they just made bad decisions) but I feel Netflix missed a massive obvious opportunity to create a multi season masterpiece form this woman's life story.
It’s disgusting how cold blooded brutal and sadistic criminals are portrayed as admirable. They are nothing but pure evil.
It's an evil world with or WITHOUT her
She did what she had to and became legend
A million times the woman YOU could ever be that's for sure
Hearing him talk is like going into a story I can listen all day
My thoughts on the series right after I watched it, I told my husband that the acting was good. However, it felt like a lot of pieces were missing. I never watched Cocaine Cowboys but I just knew that Griselda having a hard time selling ONE kilo in Miami was hard to believe.
Legit one of the best docs ever made, you have to watch the doc to really understand the series.
@@CTYS910 But that's the thing, I shouldn't have to watch something else to understand a stand alone project.
Why was it hard to believe? I don’t understand
@@hudak55 because she was already a drug trafficker for a decade before
that arc about the struggle of her selling that kilo was important to build up for what was going to happen in the story, it propelled the flow of the episodes in a fictional way.
How charming. The son is so proud of her mom’s drug business, l@l…
It's baffling to me as well
Ya he’s a 🤡
Looks like he's taking it as a matter of pride which I don't understand😢.
blowing my mind
@@jerrylalhminghlua874 he acts like a street thug.. "you disrepecting me?"
Damn, this story is fascinating. I won't watch the Griselda movie on Netflix since they never tell an accurate story without embellishments. Documentaries are the best telling of this and this interview with her son. That woman was wild.
A very intriguing interview. I've been fascinated with Griselda Blanco story since the early 90's.I immediately subscribed I can't get enough of this fascinating woman.
I know Michael was a young boy when all this happened and people don’t believe his story, but I think you all are forgetting that Griselda died in 2012. Michael spoke to his mother on a regular basis. This story isn’t just based on his memories, but also on her words.
Do you honestly believe that Griselda is going to be totally honest with her son about the heinous shit that she did? If you actually want to listen to someone that is believable listen to Rivi, he was actually around Griselda. There's an interview in the documentary "Cocaine Cowboys" with Rivi, and he talks about how Griselda was actually happy when RIvi accidentally killed Chucho's son, she also ordered other hits on the children of her enemies. Do you honestly think she is going to tell her son she ordered hits on kids?
Why doesnt this have more views?? This is the most anticipated interview of the year. Please share.
....most anticipated interview? lmao....Try Tucker and Putin
No we won't share that we are waiting for Wendy williams
I want to hear more gossip about Gypsy Rose and her Whale of a man
He would add some credibility to his version of the story if he didn't gloss over her evil deeds and not mention the murders she committed. He seems in total to be proud of her drug lord life. If you only listen to his words, you would think shw was a hero.
💯💯💯💯well said! I dont think people expect him to hate his mother . He just sounds like he painting a different picture. This woman is accused of killing at least 40 people in the US alone.
Mikey!!! I actually grew up with this dude in Miami back in the 90s. What was a trip is that we never knew he was that connected until years later after watching Cocaine Cowboys. 🤣Glad to see he's doing good nowadays..
Was he a lier about his mom back then?
@@julian6411awww he hurt your feelings 😂😂
@@julian6411 That's a disrespectful comment. You outta line for that but I'll let you know, he was always a stand-up dude. Talk that shit in person, you get your jaw wired
“Sosa” from Scarface being her plug in real life is crazy🤯
Glad i caught this ! Been intrigued by this woman since '08 after having watched the 1st Cocaine Cowboys.
As a Belgian kid i was really intimidated every time there were news reports on either the NY mafia or the hell in Miami. Had an uncle who was there in '84 and never got out of his hotel room for 10 days bc of the gunshots during daylight. And at night it was way worse he said later on.
He wasn’t even born yet to even know what really went on
Yes. He was.
No he wasn’t and then when he was born he was a little baby so how much does he really know about truly
He must have learned a lot through his mom and brothers along the way.
He was born in 78, his mum was arrested in 85. He was only 7 years old how the hell does he have detailed knowledge of his mother's life? His brothers were all killed when she was in prison. You honestly think she will be disclosing all her wrong doings to him?
@@NatangweJasonNamugongo OMG, CHILL!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
why are watching this Karen ???? why ????
@@dimebagvinnie644 Karen is the B… that gave birth to you
@@hurricaneslurricane3281 good for you let me get you a cookie 🍪
That was my problem. The Griselda series could have been a few seasons long. Instead they crammed her whole existence into like 3 years. It confused the hell outta me because things were taking place on top of each other. They didn’t show her NY run or anything.
Yeah.. “Three years later” killed me
Had potential to be even better than queen of the south!
He loves his mom. Even though she killed hundreds of people, that doesn’t bother him. He’s still proud of her and sees her as his sweet mommy and a great entrepreneur
He can still make his version that the people will love because of his close connection. Just make it happen the people will watch like we've never heard her story before. There's room for more
He should make his own movie about his family
He wants to get Money from his Moms Legacy. He is looking for someone to pay him for the Real Story Claim.
@@blui7229 I wish someone would.
I was wondering if he had something to do with this series. It should be illegal to tell al life story if they have relatives who were close to them still alive
@@blui7229Other people are making so much money off his mothers name…so why can’t he ..he’s her son and he has a right more than anyone and should tell her story.. I don’t know why the producers of Griselda didn’t have him involved in the Griselda series..And you know had him involved in the making of the characters and the plot etc.
Pablo died in the city of Medellin because he realized how easy the search bloc was locating him In the outskirts as they were tapping his phone. He realized he would be much harder to find if he was moving around the city of Medellin where he could drive around in a cab with a hitman in the back and he wouldn't be easily spotted.
Sadly my heart broke for her children as a mom.
I'm in my late 40's and I can listen to the Dramatics all day. They were my dad's favorite group. RIP TJ Allen Jr
We need another longer episode with this man.
I found it hard to believe she had such a difficult time selling 1 kilo of cocaine. That was way of for me. I would love to see her story told as it really was. It's sad that the Netflix series is so off. I haven't finished watching it. But I do plan to. It's really something how much she loved her boys. I often wonder why people like her in an illegal business would want their children to be in it. All that money and her children could have gone into so many other businesses that were legal. I just can't wrap my mind around it.
While I did love corbens documentaries, and I have compassion for Michael Corleone as I have affable criminals in my family that I’m fond of, it is wild that he seems offended that they would suggest she ever had any problem selling a single kilo. It’s Almost as if he’s quick to point out “you know those drug dealers who are just trying to put food on the table for their families? That’s not my mom, she was the jefe.”
I think he’s looking at it in the wrong way. & 2 things can be true at once. I didn’t look at it as she’s broke and couldn’t sell 1 kilo, bc in all reality we know she was the big fish. I think it was more so to depict her coming into new turf, which was true bc she was new to Miami, & her trying to find connects down there to sell her product. So to him he’s seeing it as my mother wasn’t this broke lady who couldn’t sell a key, but on the grand scale of things, she may have struggled to sell that key bc she obviously had to find her way around new grounds.
I'm just wondering why Netflix didn't connect with Michael for the story??
Because he’s obviously delusional about his mom and rightfully so that’s his mom.
He said producers juiced him for info for years and led to believe there was gonna be some type of joint collab then they disappeared
It buffles me how this Michael guy is so proud of his ruthless, extremely violent, serial killer, delinquent he had for a mother! He's just like his monster mother, he has zero regrets or empathy but the massive amounts of innocent people she killed with fire arms and with drugs! Scary!
I’m so glad to see her family get to tell her story. Her life has always sparked curiosity in me. I always wanna know the truth. As scary as she had to be… no one can doubt her strength and her power. I wanted to know what she’d been through.
I think Michael Blanco should have been a part of the making if any thing related to his family.... he knows sooooò much I want to hearths TRUE STORY ..... I want to see how ruthless she was but also how loving she was and everything inbetween
I really appreciate Micheal telling the REAL story ! I remember growing up in the 80s in LA Compton to be exact and my uncles coming over to tell my dad who they had met! Of course I had NO idea who she was when they would say.. mi nina until I was old enough to understand what they did for a living!
This guy probably thinks his mom was a virgin
Michael reminds me of Ebro in the morning radio show 🎧🎙️"You played yourself!" 😄
What if Griselda lied to him to protect from information?
Everyone on here talking about she was probably a good mother, how tf can you be a good mother while being a kingpin. Being a good mother and a kingpin don’t go together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll never forget the first original Cocaine Cowboys (the uncut one)...Was so dope...Looking forwards to this 💯
Same!
Dadeland mall shooting happened in 1979 and the Mariel boatlift happened in 1980. Netflix’s timeline was off several times.
I love that he's using clippings from his movies! So glad i found this
Amazing how the love from a son to his mother can rise above all. Griselda did countless horrible acts to people around her, yet her son sees her as his loving mother, which is accurate in his isolated world that his mother had him living in. I can’t blame him for loving his mother, at the same time can’t blame her victims for hating her.
I agree the story did deserve more. 💯💯💯
People Griselda was never meant to be a documentary
Exactly it's crazy
This guy think's his mom was a saint and is still living off her name
We needed more than 6 episodes about her life .
It’s weird how some people want him to HATE his mom for her choices . It’s still his MOM no matter how much of a “monster” she was. He is going off how his experience with her was.
Bro saying he don’t support the black widow term but has the pendant for it 🤨
I'm glad Michael is doing this and doing it this soon after the Griselda series coming out on Netflix. Didn't waste no time for the energy to die down. 🎯💯💪🏿
I am obsessed with this story!! I translated a contract back in 2011 for Griselda Blanco and Michael Corleone, for the rights of a production that was going to take place before she died in 2012...Not sure if the production company was able to accomplish that... I still have the final copy of the translation I did...never knew if she/they received it or signed it. I am in complete shock that I have some sort of connection with them...I was not aware at the time of the cocaine empire she started!!!
Btw...I was paud very little money bc I had just started to work as a translator, and that was my first legal contract 😮 #iminshock
An important factor to remember here is that he’s talking about his mother from the age perspective of when he lost her, so as an adultescent. Before the age of being able to truly see the parent for who they are, before you question them. On top of that she was loving towards him, so he doesn’t have it in him to believe she was a monster. Bet he doesn’t even believe she had anything to do with his dads murder. It’ll shatter his whole existence because his entire immediate family were each murdered. This man carries so much trauma which he won’t get therapy for, it’ll uncover and dismantle his whole world. Well, this is the psychological pov 😂. Sorry for the essay
You made some great points. I agree with you.
This guys mother is/was a legend
Why am I so fascinated!
Thats the first thing i noticed was it started in 1978 but Michael was born then and not in the show. I also know she was in New York before Miami.
She was in Florida in between
Its awesome how her son was blessed to know how to tell the story. Even if he lived through it.
My mom lied to me about the truth about things she did……I E Cocaine
I’d lie my kids about some things I’d done to lol
“Quite embarrassing”😂💯‼️
Cocaine cowboys is the greatest documentary
Billy you got me interested in this story back in 03. Been obsessed ever since. I especially recommend reading the books "American desperado" by jon roberts and "the man who made it snow" by max mermalstein. Both great additions to the stories you told with many of the same characters.
I been on Amazon looking for the man who made it snow it's so expensive now
American Desperado is one of my all time favorites
@@musicmaster158 I might read it then. Thanks for the recommendation. Enjoy your day ❤️
@musicmaster158 American desperado Is a great book wild stories
When you've actually seen the original Cocaine Cowboys documentaries, you knew even in the first episode that Sophia is a good actor, but didn't really hit the nail on the head in diving into Griselda... Listen to Griselda's son (of course he doesn't look at her as a bad person), he knows his mom, they were very close, and note that the son is right there with the co-creator of the Cocaine Cowboys franchise.. validity to the story HE told... He came the closest...
This show is to show the struggle of the beginning of an empire. I think Griselda did it well. On this show it is a young child describing stories told to him. Still amazing the new York part wasn't included at all.
I respect as well as I'm very moved by his love and respect for his mother The Big Griselda Blanco ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He talks about how his mom created the cocaine industry as we know it today like it’s something to be proud of.
You can’t live in shame for the way you and your family had to survive. Don’t have to be proud of it to own it.
Such a proud son. Smh
She was a Monster! Period!!
