Fualaau, who married Letourneau after she served time for their illegal relationship, criticized the film for its lack of authenticity and respect for his real-life experience. Despite the scandal, Fualaau is open to collaborating on a biopic that more accurately represents their story. The filmmakers maintained a legal distance from Fualaau's story, and actor Charles Melton shared insights into his portrayal of the character inspired by Fualaau.
