Versace Story Called A "Misrepresentation" By Versace's Lover

Antonio D'Amico, the longtime partner of the late Italian designer Gianni Versace, is not happy with FX's new series about Versace's life and death

Via Complex:

He blasted the FX series, saying, โ€œSignificant parts of the [series] on Gianni Versaceโ€™s murder do not reflect the reality of the events that took place.โ€ Dโ€™Amico, 59, also said, โ€œI feel โ€” together with those who know me well โ€” that my characterโ€ฆ  is a misrepresentation of myself and what our relationship with was like. Dโ€™Amico is played by Ricky Martin in the series. Versace is played by Edgar Ramรญrez.

More specifically, Dโ€™Amico mentions a scene in which his Versaceโ€™s killer, Andrew Cunanan, meets him onstage in San Francisco. Dโ€™Amico told People, the scene, which is told from Cunananโ€™s perspective, โ€œis pure fantasy as I was with Gianni โ€” together with a number of people, like the ladies from the San Francisco Opera council โ€” for the entire time he was at the theatre and then we went back to our hotel together.
