Ms Steenkamp’s parents say that they are still mourning their daughter, weren’t consulted about the project and had no idea the film was being made.
June and Barry Steenkamp, AFP says, were “horrified and upset” at reports that the film claimed to tell the story of the 2013 killing from the perspective of Reeva and June, her mother.
The Steenkamp’s said in a statement that:
Any impression that is created that this is June’s view, or that the movie is endorsed by the Steenkamp family, is untrue and incorrect.”
The film, which stars German model Toni Garrn as Ms Steenkamp, will premiere on the US TV network Lifetime on November 11.
