The dispute between Imelda Tuñón and Julián Figueroa's family has added a new chapter. This time, José Manuel Figueroa responded to his former sister-in-law's latest statements and made his position in favor of Maribel Guardia clear.
In a meeting with the media, the singer spoke about the request filed by Imelda Tuñón to limit public statements by Maribel Guardia, Marco Chacón, and their lawyer. Figueroa questioned the measure and defended the actress's right to speak about the conflict.
"Maribel has every right, and if it is true that Imelda did all that, then she should go to jail. But I also think about the child, about all the psychological damage this woman is doing to her son, all the doubts she is forming about his father—if she killed him or didn't kill him (...) if he was abused or not abused," he noted.
He also added: "I have the right to defend myself (...) she is just like Ninel; they throw the stone, they throw the blow, but they don't want anyone to respond. Hey, wait a minute, how does that work? No, she's crazy, she's drunk, she's drugged, she's wrong, she's mistaken; her own mouth is her worst enemy."
