The actress responds to the accusations
Lucía Méndez broke her silence in response to the statements of Angélica María, who pointed her out as responsible for her veto on Televisa during the 1980s.
Angélica María, 81, stated in an interview with Yordi Rosado that Méndez influenced Emilio Azcárraga Milmo – her ex-partner – to leave her out of the company. “I think Lucía, surely, poor thing, obviously, was starting her career, she was very beautiful, she wanted to have my place… it took me about four or five years to return to Televisa,” he said then.
In that same talk, the actress also attributed the veto to her husband Raúl Vale, who would have had business conflicts with ‘Tigre’ Azcárraga.
Lucía Méndez’s version
Méndez, 71, flatly denied having any influence. In an interview with “De Primera Mano”, he assured that he never wanted to take anyone’s place. “I didn’t have to take her place, first of all Angélica is a different generation than mine, she is from rock and I am from pop,” he expressed.
The protagonist of Colorina stated that Angélica looked for someone to blame for no reason. “I think that when Angélica felt defeated, she looked for a guilty face, she looked in me that I was to blame for being banned, never in my life would I carry karma of that size,” she declared.
He assured that he has never interfered in Angélica María’s love life. “He is lying; this news is already in Italy, Russia, everywhere,” he added.
His lawyer told him that Angélica’s intention is to generate controversy. “It bothers me that Angélica is hurting me in this way because it is moral damage,” she concluded, upset.
