Two public figures, a similar pain
Maribel Guardia decided to speak. After weeks of accusations from her ex-daughter-in-law, Imelda Garza Tuñón, about responsibility for Julián Figueroa’s death, the actress used Instagram to clarify. And she didn’t do it alone.
Julio César Chávez appeared in the video to support her. The reason is simple: they are both parents who have seen their children struggle with addictions.
“We are both brothers of the same pain, that our children have gone through difficult times,” Maribel said in the recording.
The central theme: that ‘chip’ that everyone talks about
They refer to the naltrexone implant, a medical treatment that helps reduce the desire to consume certain substances. Guardia’s former daughter-in-law had suggested that this procedure could have been related to Julián’s death from a heart attack.
Both celebrities strongly deny it. In fact, Chávez shared his personal experience.
“I gave it to my son Julio and he continued using… and absolutely nothing happened to him,” said the former boxer with his characteristic frankness.
He explained that the effects, if any, are rather similar to a withdrawal syndrome: headache or nausea. Nothing related to heart problems.
A message beyond the controversy
At the end of the video, they both agreed on something crucial. Maribel and Julio called for family attention in the face of any type of consumption, even apparently social consumption.
The conversation turned into a warning about how one habit can lead to another. Rather than defending themselves, they sought to use their experience – painful and public – to prevent.
It is the least seen side of these tragic stories: the attempt to help others from what they have learned. Crudely, but openly.
