The controversy follows Imelda Tuñón until the march
Just on International Women’s Day, while thousands chanted slogans, Imelda Tuñón was inundated with questions of a different kind. Journalists approached her to ask her about the two complaints that José Manuel Figueroa, her former brother-in-law, filed against her. His response was forceful.
“No, no. Not yet,” she said bluntly when asked if she had already been legally notified.
The lawsuits are for moral damage and family and media violence. Everything revolves around some statements where, according to Figueroa, she stated that he sexually abused her brother Julián. But Imelda has another version.
“It was a private call”
The actress assures that everything was a giant misunderstanding. That there was never an official public statement.
“It was a private call, which was leaked, at the end of the day, it was something that was not done maliciously,” he said during the march.
His position is clear: it was a leaked conversation and now it’s time to fix things where they belong. “Later we will settle things in court,” he said.
But this is not the only open front for Tuñón. In the midst of the protest atmosphere of 8M, he took the opportunity to throw a dart at the media. He said he felt like a victim of a justice system that previously favored his ex-mother-in-law, Maribel Guardia, in the case of the custody of his son José Julián.
And now, he accuses the press of constantly twisting his words.
“My voice is no longer heard… so I am no longer going to talk about any issue that has to do with Maribel or Marcho Chacón, because everything is being distorted.”
A day to demand respect and she did it her way. While the city was painted purple, this family and legal story showed that sometimes personal drama does not understand symbolic dates.
