Pablo Escobar's longtime mistress is once again hitting out at the Netflix show Narcos over how she was portrayed in the series.
'My portrayal in Narcos is as a pervert, and a criminal and corrupt journalist that in the end is tortured and killed,' Virginia Vallejo, who is still very much alive, said in an interview with the Daily Mirror.
'The purpose of the script was to defame me brutally and rape me in front of millions of people.'
Vallejo, who met Escobar when she was a television journalist, had nothing but praise though for Loving Pablo, a new film about her relationship with the drug lord that stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
That film, whose release date has been pushed back multiple times, is based on her own memoir, Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar.

Smoking mad: 'My portrayal in Narcos is as a pervert, and a criminal and corrupt journalist that in the end is tortured and killed,' said Virginia Vallejo (above), Pablo Escobar's mistress
Drop the mic: She added: 'The purpose of the script was to defame me brutally and rape me in front of millions of people' (a character based on Vallejo and Escobar in Narcos above)
Big fan: Vallejo had nothing but praise though for Loving Pablo, a new film about her relationship with the drug lord that stars Penelope Cruz as the former TV anchor (Cruz and Javier Bradem in Loving Pablo)
Vallejo first revealed her affair with Escobar in that book, released in 2006 and since translated into over 15 languages.
In an interview last year she spoke about first meeting Escobar, stating: 'When the relationship began, he thought that he could become a political leader and I accompanied him to meetings and he told me that I was going to be his Manuelita [Simón Bolívar's lover].
'I thought I could be the lover of a leader who had compassion for this suffering and poor people.'

ShareVallejo said in interview, with El Mundo, that Escobar's wealth was of no interest to her at the time.
'I was not interested in luxuries because I had an elegant life as a child. My family, very aristocratic, one of the richest in Colombia, educated me like a princess, in the English style. And so beautiful, high society, obviously not dating men who were not the most powerful or most beautiful,' said Vallejo.
'Pablo gave me gifts any billionaire gives his girlfriend: a crocodile wallet, a trip. I imagine that Trump gave Melania wallets.'

She later stated: 'I wanted to prove to him that I loved him for him, not for his money. That's why he respected me.'
That romance was tarmished however by Narcos,with Vallejo claiming that she had no idea Escobar was even involved in the drug trade at first.
She also took issue with the way his wife was depicted, and the actress who portrayed the character she claims is based on her, named Valeria Velez.
'They hired a Mexican [expletive]with a transvestite body to play my role. They presented me as a depraved, complicit in terrible kidnappings and bribing politicians,' said Vallejo.
'It has nothing to do with my life. They turned me into the villain and the wife of Escobar, into the pretty one, the peasant, the innocent, as in the soap operas. But the Tata [Pablo's wife] and her son are a dark family that is getting more and more crazy every day.'
Vallejo said that her relationship with Escobar soured as he became more violent, and she eventually entered witness protection and was moved to the United States, where she now lives in Florida.
