Longtime Assistant Says Luis Miguel Fired Her After Cancer Recurrence

She has renewed demands for a fair severance and presented travel documents and witness statements while the singer’s team says lawyers are monitoring coverage.

Overview

  • Edith Sánchez says she worked as Luis Miguel’s personal assistant for about 25 years and that communication stopped after she told him of a 2017 cancer recurrence.
  • Sánchez says she was dismissed in 2017 without a written contract, social security registration or formal severance and that she lives in poor health and financial precarity today.
  • She has shown documentary evidence that includes 12 passports with travel stamps, tour notebooks, photographs and former security staff statements to support her account.
  • Sánchez says she rejected a reported 2023 offer described to her as a partial payment and that she has not filed a lawsuit because of the time and cost of litigation.
  • Luis Miguel’s representatives declined substantive comment to reporters and said the singer’s legal team would be closely monitoring the reports, which could prompt legal action.
