Overview
- A 19-year-old U.S. model accused Derbez of kissing and touching her without consent during a music video shoot, with one report placing the filming in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
- Derbez rejected the allegation, and his lawyers called it an extortion attempt, saying the accuser sought $350,000 to drop the case and that witnesses and recordings support his version, according to El Imparcial.
- Actress Laura León publicly defended Derbez, calling the accusation “nonsense” and urging him not to worry.
- Actress Victoria Ruffo avoided taking a position, telling reporters the topic was not hers to address and adding that the situation was “not easy.”
- Recent coverage also revisited older claims, including a 2009 U.S. complaint cited by YouTube hosts and a 2010 case noted by El Imparcial that did not result in a conviction.
