Vili Fualaau, the ex-husband of Mary Kay Letourneau, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for raping Fualaau when he was 12 and she was 34, is speaking out against the new film May December. Fualaau’s life story—he fathered two children with, and later married, Letourneau, his former sixth grade teacher—was specifically cited by the filmmakers as inspiration.

In an interview published on Thursday, Fualaau told The Hollywood Reporter that no one from the production ever reached out to him. “I’m still alive and well,” Fualaau, now 40, said. “If they had reached out to me, we could have worked together on a masterpiece. Instead, they chose to do a ripoff of my original story.”

He added: “I’m offended by the entire project and the lack of respect given to me—who lived through a real story and is still living it.”
