We exclusively present the story of Marisol Castro, who breaks the silence and narrates the situation in which she was involved when she was just a girl, full of dreams and with the illusion of being a singer.
Lhe also a singer from Regional Mexicano shared with us how, at 14 years of age, in his native Nuevo Laredo, he auditioned to be able to sing alongside the King of Jaripeo, who at that time was at the peak of his career.

“The ANDA delegate here in Nuevo Laredo at that time was well known by our family, he told my mother, he spoke to her on the phone to meet us and everything and he said that he would be very sincere that he (Joan Sebastián ) was a great star and that I did not see the possibility of me entering because I was between 14 or 15 years old, in addition to the fact that because of my height I did see myself as tall, but I was very childish or very young…”
After that casting, her life changed completely, but not as she thought through fame and a fulfilled dream, but because of the bitter experience she lived through being harassed and abused by the singer.
“In the audition we had to sing the song ‘Rumores’, that was the test, so he was a superstar, I went up to sing, I sang two songs and apart from that they told me to do the choirs of that song. Later they spoke to my mother and told her ‘your daughter did stay’, I mean, imagine, for me it was something I couldn’t believe, in fact, the same delegate told my mother ‘your girl is very lucky because of all she is the youngest’… at that time I felt super happy”.
When Marisol met Joan she never felt attracted to him, since he was an old man and she was still a girl.

“When I met the man, let me tell you that I was impressed, but when I saw him I didn’t like him because at that time I would have liked a guy my age, he was around 50 or 40 years old, I don’t know, but he was a an adult man with wrinkles, very thin and when he saw me the first thing he did was hug me and I felt nice because I didn’t measure the consequences”
It was at the end of his performance that Mr. Sebastián, taking advantage of his position, gave him ‘improper caresses’
“I sang alone and when I left the stage he hugged me again… Then he started caressing me improperly. I thought, I’m telling you honestly, I thought that was normal, I thought he liked me and he said ‘I’m going to record an album for you, you’re going to be my goddaughter and everything is going to be very nice, in Mexico you’re going to be with me, I will take care of you”.
“Besides, I told him no, that it wasn’t correct, but I thought to myself ‘well, maybe he wants to be my boyfriend,’ I still thought that he wanted to be my boyfriend.”

Marisol stated that she was sure that the people who went with Maribel Guardia’s ex-husband did know what was happening and that they were her accomplices, also helping to entertain her mother.
“There are people who were there, I’m sure they closed the door on purpose and they entertained my mother.”
Suspecting that ‘something was not right’ her mother was forced to force the door to enter and when she did and realized what was happening she became furious and dragged Marisol away.
“When my mom knocks on the door and forces her to come in… it’s something I’m very ashamed of, do you understand me? I felt and feel a lot of shame because my mom told me ‘what’s going on?’ some strong ugly things… “I had my skirt up, my hair was disheveled and my mother pulled me and called me very ugly… After that, everything changed a lot and she began to have a lot of conflicts with me”.
Marisol never imagined that she would bear the consequences, for wanting to fulfill a dream, for so many years and confesses that she dared to report the abuse she suffered after so long thanks to her therapist.
