Imelda Tuñón Retracts Deepfake Claim, Confirms Leaked Audio Accusing José Manuel Figueroa Is Real

Her on-air reversal shifts attention to accounts from relatives and friends who, she says, already knew of the allegation.

Overview

  • Tuñón confirmed in a Sale el Sol interview with Gustavo Adolfo Infante that the recording previously dismissed as AI-generated is authentic.
  • She stated that Maribel Guardia was aware of what the audio describes before it became public.
  • According to Tuñón, Julián confided in his mother, two sisters, and close friends, and one friend is willing to speak publicly.
  • Tuñón said she initially invoked artificial intelligence to contain fallout and avoid further family conflict before deciding to correct the record.
  • Coverage notes no legal resolution has been reported, and Tuñón emphasized the pain of revisiting the issue because Julián is no longer alive.
