Maru Botana Slams Ex-Employee After Court-Approved Payout Ends Harassment Case Against Her Husband

The court-approved deal closed the labor dispute without an admission of wrongdoing, shifting attention to Botana’s public response.

Overview

  • A former employee, identified by multiple outlets as Lourdes Bouchet, filed in Labor Court No. 47 alleging unpaid wages and that Bernardo Solá habitually stared at specific parts of workers’ bodies.
  • The parties reached a conciliatory agreement for 50 million pesos, accepted “sin reconocer hechos ni derechos,” and the case was archived without proceeding to an oral trial.
  • According to the agreement read on air, 22 million pesos were paid on December 9, with an $11,000 installment due January 8 and $2,000 monthly thereafter until the balance is settled.
  • Botana told TN “Está de moda hablar mal de los jefes” and, in audio aired on Desayuno Americano, called the complainant “una basura,” saying the issue was in lawyers’ hands.
  • Entertainment shows continued to amplify the story, including an anonymous anecdote about Solá relayed by a panelist that is not part of the court record and remains unverified.
