”I don’t understand why I’m in jail. I have nothing to do with it. I’m innocent. I have never talked about my aunt’s house. I am convinced that my aunt knows that I have nothing to do with it,” declared the artist’s nephew, according to El Diario de Sevilla.
Furthermore, this past Wednesday, Ana Rosa Quintana’s program revealed new statements by the former Big Brother contestant in which he attacked his own aunt. ”She has always liked to show off what she had and show things off. “He continually changed his watch,” Tejado asserted in court.

On Thursday afternoon, the Telecinco program revealed that it had been able to speak with a direct relative of the couple about the reaction that the singer and his wife had had to Tejado’s harsh statements. ”María del Monte and her partner are totally disappointed with Antonio Tejado,” said journalist Antonio Lleida.
”The news of Antonio’s possible release has not sat well with them. And we can also confirm that María ends the relationship with her nephew after everything that has happened. After her statement, María del Monte considers the relationship with her nephew broken. Neither María nor her partner believes anything about the statement,’ she concluded.
