The Reason This KFC 'Heiress' Hates Lifetime's A Recipe For Seduction

Nothing spices up the holiday season like a movie about romance and seduction, and if you guessed we were talking about Lifetime's latest drama, A Recipe For Seduction, you'd be right. But not everyone found this film featuring, Mario Lopez, as the titular colonel amusing. Kaila Methven, the self-proclaimed Kentucky Fried Chicken heiress, took some of the greatest offence to the movie and its fabrications of her family's history (via Dailymail). Methven stated that she's "embarrassed that [Lifetime and KFC] would take an American family franchise that my grandfather made worldly and turn it into some kind of a cheap movie about a guy whoring himself out to a rich family."

The film follows chef Colonel Harland Sanders who romances and wins over the love interest, Jessica, an heiress who's father has died (via NY Post). The movie hit a very sensitive nerve with Methven regarding the depiction of the character of Jessica. "A bunch of people were asking me if that was my grandmother or if it was my mother the film was portraying," Methven said. Methven's mother committed suicide in 2006, while the character of Jessica ends up in a mental institution at the end of the short film. "I think certain aspects of the film can be construed as something that's very vulgar and definitely not something that the Methven family would ever approve of," Methven said (via Dailymail).
