More and more details are becoming known about the assault that María del Monte and Inmaculada Casal suffered in their home in Seville and for which Antonio Tejado, the singer’s nephew, is being detained as the head of the band. In Friday! The judicial statements of both women were disseminated in full, something that the protagonists did not like.
Just two days after the broadcast, Inmaculada Casal, visibly affected, expressed her indignation live during Andalucía de Tarde on Canal Sur. The journalist, with obvious anger, has denounced the disclosure of these statements as a theft of her privacy, harshly criticizing Telecinco’s actions for violating her rights by broadcasting a moment that should have been confidential.
The controversy has originated from the way in which ¡De Viernes! treated the information, revealing details of a case that both Casal and María del Monte had decided to deal with privately and exclusively in the judicial sphere: “We said that we would only talk about this matter in court. But it turns out that what I talk about In the courts, all of Spain knows it.”
The situation has been aggravated by the fact that the case is still under investigation, so the information exposed on television could negatively influence its development: “I don’t think those statements contribute anything. It makes me angry because I think it’s not fair. “Certain boundaries are being crossed.” Thus, he has asked that “basic rights be respected.”
Casal, in his defense, has maintained that the publication of said information has not only harmed the couple, but has also emotionally damaged his family, who were unaware of the details shared. “It’s something so intimate that I feel helpless,” the communicator lamented.
In response to ¡De Viernes!, Casal has assured that legal action is being considered. In this sense, Casal’s lawyer, in an attempt to protect the privacy and personal data of those affected, has stated that Telecinco could have committed a crime: “It is not public data because it was not a public hearing and that nuance is very important”.
