THE TRUTH ABOUT: Fualaau is offended by may december - The Untold Story

Vili Fualaau, Mary Kay Letourneau's ex-husband, ripped Todd Haynes' Oscar buzz melodrama "May December" for its lack of "respect" for his life story.

"May December" follows the relationship between Gracie (Julianne Moore) and the much younger Joe (Charles Melton), with whom she began a relationship when he was 13 and she was 36. While Haynes' movie is fiction based on Samy Burch's screenplay, it is loosely inspired by the real-life controversial and predatory relationship that began when Fualaau was 12 and Letourneau was 34 in the '90s. The Hollywood Reporter said that Fualaau, now 40, has seen the movie and felt exploited by the media yet again.
