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, “Significant parts of the [series] on Gianni Versace’s murder do not reflect the reality of the events that took place.” D’Amico, 59, also said, “I feel — together with those who know me well — that my character… is a misrepresentation of myself and what our relationship with was like. D’Amico is played by Ricky Martin in the series. Versace is played by Edgar Ramírez.
More specifically, D’Amico mentions a scene in which his Versace’s killer, Andrew Cunanan, meets him onstage in San Francisco. D’Amico told People, the scene, which is told from Cunanan’s perspective, “is pure fantasy as I was with Gianni — together with a number of people, like the ladies from the San Francisco Opera council — for the entire time he was at the theatre and then we went back to our hotel together.
