“People who have experienced difficult things deserve the dignity to tell their story when and if they’re ready," Crapser said in a statement."When that is taken away — when personal traumas are forcefully misappropriated for other people’s purposes— it is hurtful. I ask Justin and his team to stop using other people’s trauma to support his Hollywood ambitions, and for my friends to speak the truth about this film.
Focus Features, the studio that produced the film, provided a statement from Adoptee Advocacy, a recently formed group that includes some members who consulted during the production on issues related to adoption. The statement didn’t name Crapser, but said they “see strong similarities to many of our histories: abusive families, getting in trouble with law, being deported while leaving behind small children.
Crapser said that Chon reached out to him in 2017 over Facebook. In messages viewed by NBC Asian America, Chon indicated that he had read articles about Crapser’s life and, moved by what he saw, was interested in learning more. Crapser said he told the team that he was not interested in the project and did not consent to his likeness being used in the film.
