Jordi Évole sat down with Ana Belén, an iconic figure in music and acting in Spain, in what has been a very relevant conversation. The interviewee took advantage of her time at Lo de Évole to report a case of alleged sexual abuse by a film director who, according to her, cornered her against the wall to kiss her.
Beyond this shocking confession, Ana Belén has reviewed many other topics and even her worst moments. The singer has been very sincere in this regard and she has not haggled when it comes to telling the worst moment of her life.
Évole wanted to investigate the most complicated stages of Ana Belén. “If you had to say a moment in your life, of failure?” she asked. And the interview was very specific: “I remember an album that was titled Como una novia. I didn’t have a very good time.”
This stage, marked by financial difficulties with her production company, turned out to be one of the darkest of her career, in which both she and her partner, Víctor Manuel, found themselves involved in a spiral of debt. “It was a screwed time,” she confessed. Her problem with this production company was that the films did not have much economic return: “Víctor produced. And a production company does not live off the success of a film. You make more.”
The artist has held nothing back when describing how the accumulation of debt and professional failures took a toll on her life, leaving her not knowing “how we were going to get out of such a situation.” “Everything we gained we lost,” she confessed to Évole.
This complicated situation put their marriage to the test: It was difficult. Because we couldn’t hold anything against each other. We were both there.” In these overwhelming circumstances, as Ana Belén has said, it was when Víctor Manuel once again put on his work overalls and went back to chaining concerts to be able to pay for everything. “It was a very sad time, I didn’t I was not at all happy that time,” he said.
