Brittany Murphy Father Slams Biopic Because Of Negative Depiction Of Himself?

Lifetime's biopic The Brittany Murphy Story has sparked controversy just based on the clips and teasers that were released for the TV movie.

The late actress's father Angelo Bertolotti decided to speak out against the project recently, according to TIME.

"I am disgusted and outraged that Lifetime decided to produce such a trashy project, defiling the memory of my beautiful, talented daughter. 'The Brittany Murphy Story' is an affront to everything my daughter was in real life. It's hideous, unauthorized and completely untrue," Bertolotti told Examiner.com in an interview last week.

Bertolotti further expressed his thoughts on the biopic by slamming Amanda Fuller, the actress who is portraying his daughter in the upcoming Lifetime movie, on Twitter.

"My daughter #brittanymurphy would be horrified to know who they chose to play her and how cheap it all is," tweeted Bertolotti.

Fuller responded to the tweets that Bertolotti made during an interview with the TV Page, stating that she's now blocked him on Twitter.

"I just think it is interesting that the minute she is back in the press he is all about, 'I am going to sue' and all that stuff. If he really respected his daughter's memory then I don't know if he would be trying to make all this controversy about it. Let her rest in peace," Fuller stated.

Bertolotti also revealed during his recent interview that he's not happy with the portrayal of himself in the Lifetime biopic, according to Vulture.

"To suggest that I was never in Brittany's life since the age of two is absolutely despicable. I was always a part of Brittany's life and supported both her and her mother," explained Bertolotti.
