John Paul Getty III's sister says the portrayals of their family on film and television in both a Hollywood Movie and recent FX drama series are 'demonizing,' 'disgusting' and 'unrepresentative of their LGBTQ values'
Ariadne Getty, 55, has even threatened to sue director Danny Boyle over the FX drama series Trust which came out in March
 Getty claims the show makes it appear as if her family was complicit in her brother John Paul Getty's infamous 1973 kidnapping
 The series starring Donald Sutherland as Grandpa Getty, complete with pet tiger, depicted the family as greedy schemers
    Similarly, Ridley Scott's 'All the Money in the World,' featuring Christopher Plummer as J
 Paul Getty, has also served to cause nothing but distress to the family.'It's demonizing,' fashion designer son August, 24, said
 'It's disgusting,' added Nats, 25, her Ariadne's daughter in an interview with the New York Times
   'It doesn't represent our values,'  said Ms. Getty of the TV series in particular
 'I want to change the narrative of what's out there about us,' she said. 'Our family has been under attack

Singer says the series is 'a cruel and mean-spirited defamatory depiction' of the family
 'It is ironic that you have titled your television series Trust,' Singer said in a March letter to the director Danny Boyle
 'More fitting titles would be Lies or Mistrust, since the defamatory story it tells about the Gettys colluding in the kidnapping is false and misleading, and viewers rightly ought to mistrust it
'In the New York Times interview Ariadne tells how her children, August and Nats are gay - loud and proud
 She tells how she is concerned of efforts by the Trump administration to roll back civil rights for gay and transgender people
  Ariadne has in fact quietly become a major financial supporter of gay-rights organizations like Glaad even pledging $15m to the organization which trains volunteers across the country to use the media  to push for equality and battle homophobia

  Even if the series doesn't say Ariadne and others were complicit in the kidnap, Singer argues that it is defamatory for even implying it
'You are using a false version of the Getty family tragedy for entertainment for your own financial gain,' Singer said
 'That is indeed ironic, since one of the themes of Trust is to portray my client's family as greed-driven
'At 3am on 10 July 1973, Getty, who was 16, was kidnapped in the Piazza Farnese in Rome
