Narcos : Is Judy based on Griselda Blanca?
Re: Is Judy based on Griselda Blanca?
I don't know if she is but Valeria, the reporter who has the affair with Pablo is based on a real lady. My moms Colombian and remembers her. She wrote books about her time with Pablo. My mom (also a fan of the show though she gets emotional watching it at times cuz she grew up around all that *beep* said she thinks they killed her off to intentionally keep people from wondering if she was still alive and giving her money when they bought her books.
My mom has a lot of scorn for her and other people who built their careers off of the narcos.

judy is not based on anyone. that person never existed, the writers just added her for dramatic purposes

Judy Moncado was not a "fictional character", but a real life player in the alliance of the cartels. Griselda Blanca was obviously a different person, but the writers may have enhanced Judy's character with elements from Blanca. I'm not sure why some people think some of the main characters in this true life series were made up, the truth is stranger than fiction. Excellent series.
