Fox News
Sylvester Stallone is unhappy with his lack of ownership rights over the Rocky franchise, calling out the franchise's producer Irwin Winkler on Instagram.
Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
The Instagram post featured an image of Winkler with the body of a snake and a knife for a tongue, leaving no room for interpretation regarding how Stallone feels about him.
"A very flattering portrait of the great ‘Rocky’/’Creed’ producer, Irwin Winkler, from one of the country’s greatest," Stallone wrote in the caption. "After Irwin controlling ‘Rocky’ for over 47 years, and now ‘Creed’, I really would like to have at least a little [of] WHAT’S LEFT of my rights back, before passing it on to ONLY YOUR CHILDREN — I believe that would be a fair gesture from this 93-year-old gentleman?"
