May December slammed as 'ripoff' by man who inspired the movie
Vili Fualaau, the ex-husband and grooming victim of Mary Kay Letourneau, believes that the makers of the movie should have collaborated with him to create a more accurate portrayal of the story.
The movie, titled May December, is loosely based on Fualaau's experiences but is described as a fictional story.
The film follows the aftermath of the scandal where a pet shop manager named Gracie, played by Julianne Moore, was caught grooming a 13-year-old boy named Joe, played by Charles Melton. [ more ]
