Jorge Porcel Jr. will sue Moria Casán's series for the image of his father: “They have to pay me”

The biographical series about Moria Casán has become the center of a new controversy just days before its premiere. This time it was Jorge Porcel Jr. who announced that he will take legal action against the production for the use of his father's name and representation, Jorge Porcel, one of the characters featured in the fiction.

The complaint adds to the conflict raised by the daughter of Luis Vadalá, who also questioned the way her father was incorporated into the story. However, Porcel Jr. clarified that, in his case, the issue is not related to the content of the scenes or with Moria, but rather with what he considers the use of his father's figure without having reached a prior financial agreement with him.

In the production, Jorge Porcel is portrayed by Hernán “Curly” Jiménez. His character appears in the reconstruction of the years when the comedian shared stages, movies, and television programs with figures like Moria Casán, Susana Giménez, and Alberto Olmedo.

Some of the scenes also recreate controversial situations from that time, including moments when Porcel allegedly had inappropriate behavior with Susana during their performances and Moria intervened.

In light of the repercussions, the comedian's son confirmed that he is already seeking legal advice and evaluating the steps to take against the companies responsible for the fiction.

Porcel Jr. sought to differentiate his complaint from any personal confrontation with the series' protagonist.

“Everything is more than fine with Moria, and with the entire artistic side as well, but I am going to sue the production because they are using my father's name and I have the rights,” he assured.

Additionally, he indicated that he is already analyzing the case with his lawyers: “We are protected by the law, we are evaluating with my lawyer.”

As he explained, his questioning specifically targets the use of the name and representation of Jorge Porcel within a commercial production. He even anticipated that he will maintain the same stance regarding any other audiovisual project that includes the comic actor.

“There is another series they are going to make with my dad, and I will do the same, I will sue them. We act according to the law and it is against the companies,” he stated in a message that was read on air during La mañana con Moria (eltrece).

Porcel's son also assured that he has a team made up of four lawyers and that he would hold a meeting to define how to continue the complaint and who will be responsible for publicly communicating updates.

“If a biopic is to be made, I believe in freedom of expression, I believe in culture, I am an artist and I celebrate that movies are created,” he expressed.

However, he immediately raised the central point of his complaint: “But there is one small big detail: there are rights and I am a rights holder.”
