Ángel Cristo revealed tonight on Friday! How the blackmail of his mother, Bárbara Rey, to the king emeritus was conceived. From how he took the intimate photographs of her in her bed to how she uses them to get money.
According to the star’s son, his mother “was badly influenced by my godmother,” who considered that taking compromising photographs of the king was going to be “the solution of her life.” Although she was not the only public figure he blackmailed.
“We made the decision that I would take the photos only to negotiate so that she could work, because she wanted to be Bárbara Rey again after being divorced and to be given her place, not to ask for money,” Ángel Cristo Jr. confessed.
To take the photographs, several cameras were placed in different rooms of the house. She “wanted to record him having sexual relations in her room, but also eating…” and in any other everyday circumstance, such as in the garden.
The cameras were connected by cable to a VHS and Ángel Cristo took care of knowing how the devices worked to show his mother so that “she could use them when I’m not there.” In addition, they also had “portable voice recorders with sensitive microphones to pick up the voice well.”
According to Ángel Cristo, the cameras were arranged so that they focused well on both the dining room and the bedroom. “You could tell what was happening in bed.” Although his job was to take the photographs, for which he had to prepare by practicing so that “when it’s time to really take them, he can take them correctly.”
Christ has confessed in Friday! That “at that moment I was very afraid. The monarchy gave respect and I tried to do my best to help my mother. You think that with those photos your mother is going to get a job.”
At a given moment “I take all the photos I can. All the films I can” and he has confessed that “my fear is that the king could realize that they were taking photos of him because he looked at the camera a lot.”
After making them, he told how he went to his neighbor’s house, Jenny Llada, through her garden to hide until the emeritus king left home. “I’m going to the living room and start watching Knights of the Zodiac,” my favorite cartoon.
