Top 10 Things Griselda Got Factually Right & Wrong

welcome to Miz Mojo and today we're looking at plot details from this Netflix miniseries that both accurately conveyed and embellished the life of gel de Blanco for those who haven't seen the series there will be spoilers you've thought about me a lot haven't you number 10 custody battle for Michael Corone right Michael Corone is the fourth and only surviving child of grisal De Blanco who named him after The Godfather character Blanco had Michael with Dario seula whom she married in 1978 as the marriage fell apart felt that Michael would be better off with him since the couple wasn't going to settle their differences in court seula kidnapped his 5-year-old son taking him to Colombia seul Vera could only keep Michael from his mother for so long looks Str stra ahead close your eyes cover your ears and don't look back in 1983 zulva was gunned down in front of Michael who returned to Blanco 2 years before her incarceration Michael also became involved in drug trafficking but has since left the business behind he's currently suing the creatives behind gelda alleging they used quote private artistic literary work without compensation I can't focus on anything I'm constantly aggressive I'm sad number nine Blanco surrendered to the authorities wrong in the final episode Blanco turns herself into the police believing that this will keep her family safe and she'll get a reduced sentence the real Blanco didn't go so willingly where the show depicts her calling the cops and giving up her location it was DEA agent Bob Palumbo who tracked Blanco down in 1985 after a decade long search Palumbo reportedly kissed Blanco caught off guard Blanco didn't put up much of a fight but she gave the arresting officers a false name I said hola gelda she looked at me with a very bewildered look no Mi betti I said nah I don't think so Grenda also implies that Blanco's lawyer negotiated with her sentence down to 7 years Blanco actually received 15 years for drug trafficking and three 20year sentences for second deegree murder although she was released early and deported due to her declining Health we all believed at the time that she had made so many enemies in her professional life that as soon as she reached the tarmac uh on the airport in Columbia that her lifespan was almost nil number eight the Dand Massacre right it's been estim estimated that Blanco's body count ranged from as few as 40 to more than 200 episode 4 opens with one of the most publicized murders linked to Blanco you're saying that one person is behind all of this yes I'm saying one woman is behind all this around 2:30 p.m. on July 11th 1979 drug trafficker Herman Jimenez panesso and bodyguard Juan Carlos Hernandez were taken out in a blaze of gunfire at the Dand malls Crown Liquor Store two shop employees were also wounded in the shootout Witnesses were just beside themselves they couldn't believe the fact that they were in mining Dr own business shopping at a Suburban shopping mall and ended up being shot at with machine guns while there were no other fatalities the Assassins would shoot up several cars in the parking lot drawing comparisons to the wild west the shooters subsequently fled in a van reading Happy Time complete party supply Blanco wasn't prosecuted for the D land Massacre although there's little doubt that she orchestrated the hit she love to make that statement and the Bloody Trail continued from that point on number seven three of Blanco's sons died during her incarceration wrong just as Blanco is about to reclaim her Freedom she's informed that her three eldest sons have all been killed who did this we're not sure we imagine that they were waiting until your time here was almost done so that this could be as painful as possible possible while this twist gives the show a Shakespearean sentiment it's not entirely accurate Uber and Osvaldo were both killed while Blanco was still in prison but it would be a few more years until she got out as such their deaths were not planned to coincide with her release dexon would join his brothers eventually although it's suspected that his death occurred sometime between his mother's assassination on September 3rd 2012 and 2020 the show also gives detailed explanations about how each son died all we know for sure though is that osalo met his end outside a nightclub Dixon and Uber's deaths remain clouded in mystery number six Pablo Escobar knew of Blanco right the first episode hooks viewers in with a quote from Pablo Escobar quote the only man I would was ever afraid of was a woman named Gisela Blanco whether or not Escobar said these precise words he was very much aware of Blanco's operation already by about 1975 she and Pablo were fighting literally trying to kill one another each had his or her team of Assassins after the other some might debate exactly how much Escobar feared Blanco as he didn't resist clashing with her over territory Blanco wasn't one to back away from competition the hell do you want get me a meeting with that guy Escobar himself doesn't pop up in the series much to the disappointment of those hoping for a narcos crossover as the opening text indicates though Escobar recognized the power that Blanco commanded making her a Potential Threat Escobar kills police and bribes officials to secure medin airport as his own it strangles her main distribution route to the United States medin ultimately wasn't big enough for the two of them although Blanco and Escobar would both meet their end there number five Marta oo's death was an accident unknown the series makes multiple changes regarding Marta Ooa she's depicted as the cousin of Juan David Jorge Luis and Fabio Ooa Vasquez although she was reportedly their sister Grenda suggests that Marta died from an accidental drug overdose while getting high with Blanco after trying to get rid of the body Blanco is forced to flee the scene the exact circumstances surrounding Mar's death are unclear although it has been speculated that Blanco was involved rather than an overdose the leading theory is that Blanco had Marta killed [Music] what Blanco supposedly owed her $1.8 million and murdering Marta was easier than paying this debt this Theory also claims that Marta was tortured before her death in hopes that she'd reveal the location of Rafa [Music] Salazar number fourge aa's phone sex scandal right Jorge rivi aala Riva was among the most notable Hitmen who worked for Blanco it sounds like something out of a Cohen Brothers movie but aala robbed a bank for quarters which led to his arrest we're only allowed to give change to Bank customer sir give me R of quarters please I need to make a very important call I'm sorry I can't next pleas you'd think that would be the craziest chapter of his criminal record after cutting a deal with the Florida da though the incarcerated Ayala found himself at the center of a phone sex scandal he's their star witness and they made this woman his Handler so he could call her whenever he wanted one thing leads to another these two start having phone sex she doesn't even realize they're being recorded and it's about to go public with AA no longer seen as a credible witness the case that the authorities had been building against Blanco crumbled it's hard to say if AA planned all this but the show does take one liberty Ayala didn't have phone sex with a secretary from the State's Attorney's office it was multiple secretaries got to hand it to rivy makes our whole case then blows it up number three how June Hawkins and Blanco met wrong detective June Hawkins is depicted as the one primarily responsible for bringing Blanco to Justice dramatic Al this makes sense as both women were underestimated in male-dominated fields no woman's making deals They al shooting anyone you know that where you come from okay so maybe she's a witness that can help us find the shooter look June this is jenson's case your job is just to gather intelligence and put it in a memo while Hawkins played a role in tracking down Blanco the show overlooks many other key figures there's no mention of Bob Palumbo who apprehended Blanco when Blanco was caught Palumbo not Hawkins sat in the backseat with her Hawkins also didn't visit Blanco in prison to tell her about the deaths of her sons Hawkins only met Blanco once Miss Blanco I'm detective Hawkins this is detective Singleton let's get you back to Miami shall we detective Al Singleton whom Hawkins would marry had Blanco in his office one day knowing that Hawkins worked on the case Singleton suggested she drop in instead of a heated conversation Hawkins just observed Blanco describing her as quote diminished I haven't thought about you once number two Dario seula saved Blanco's first son wrong Dario seula was Blanco's thirdd husband while we know how their marriage ended there's little information about how the two met it'd be a stretch to say that their first encounter in giselda is anything short of Romanticism you have p problem seula is introduced as the henchman of Fernando Bravo Blanco's former brother-in-law seeking Vengeance for his brother's murder Fernando plans to make Blanco suffer before doing her in when Dixon attempts to save his mom Fernando orders SE to take him out unable to kill someone so young seua turns his gun to fando emerging as Blanco's loyal protector and lover for a period although it makes for one of the show's most intense moments there's no evidence suggesting it ever [Music] happened before we

all three of her husbands died violent deaths to trace Blanco's transformation into the violent bloodthirsty woman who will earn the name the Black Widow you have to go back over 25 years Blanco met her first husband Carlos truo as a young teen getting involved in the drug business together together after divorcing the two got into a business argument that resulted in Blanco having truo assassinated Blanco went on to marry cocaine Smuggler Alberto Bravo it's unlikely that Bravo told Blanco to sleep with his brother as the show depicts however the marriage would end with Bravo getting shot in the head and Blanco taking credit as for Dario seula the fact that he kidnapped Michael gave Blanco more than enough reason to take action they didn't call her black widow for nothing what did
