Vili Fualaau might have been the inspiration for one of the characters in May December , but he probably wont be rooting for the film this awards season.

In a Hollywood Reporter interview published Thursday, Fualaau confirmed that hed seen the movie, a fictionalized take on his real-life experiences in the 1990s and 2000s. But Fualaau said that he was angered at having never been contacted by director Todd Haynes, screenwriter Samy Burch or actor Charles Melton, who portrays the Fualaau-like character.

Im still alive and well, he told THR. 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.

He added, Im offended by the entire project and the lack of respect given to me who lived through a real story and is still living it.
