‘Cartel Crew’ Season 2 Preview
Michael Corleone Blanco is the son of deceased cocaine queenpin Griselda Blanco. During an interview with the Miami New-Times, he talked about the process of joining a reality series. “I’m from the Blanco cartel, so my family isn’t around anymore,” Blanco revealed. “The ties that we have to the Medellin people or the ties that people think we have to certain entities in Medellin really don’t exist.”
“I saw that [Cartel Crew] was a great opportunity for me to tell the story how my mother would want me to tell it and how I deserve to tell it from a Blanco point of view,” he said. Blanco’s significant other, Marie Ramirez de Arellano, reasoned that they are not exposing anyone by agreeing to star in the series. “We’re not really exposing anybody,” she assured. “We’re just talking about our life.”
Stephanie Acevedo, the daughter of a former cocaine trafficker, echoed her sentiments. “I wouldn’t speak on my father’s past and what we’ve been through if my dad were to be actively currently involved,” she said. “My dad did his time, my dad paid his dues, so for me, I’m just being honest and letting everybody know what I’ve been through.”
