Businesswoman and influencer Mayeli Alonso, ex-wife of regional Mexican singer Lupillo Rivera, reacted publicly to the statements made by the singer in his recent autobiography entitled Tragos Amargos (Bitter Drinks).
In this book, the artist known as “El Toro del Corrido” narrates passages of his personal life, including aspects of his relationship with Alonso, which has generated controversy in the media and among his followers.
During an interview with Univision’s Despierta America, Alonso shared her point of view on her ex-partner’s statements, pointing out that the content of the play responds to a narrative that, according to her, “suits” Lupillo.
Alonso was direct in her opinion about the book and its contents.
“There is a lot of convenience, he says what is convenient for him,” she said about Lupillo Rivera’s autobiography.
With a serene but firm tone, she added that she does not feel affected by what was written: “If it is important and if it works for him to affect the mother of his children… the truth is that it does not affect me, it happened a long time ago, bye bye with that”.
The businesswoman pointed out that she has only read fragments of the book, mainly through summaries that were shared with her: “I have read very little, they sent me some highlights. The truth is, I don’t consume books about things that don’t give me something good”.
One of the allegations made by Lupillo Rivera in Tragos Amargos is that, according to his version, Mayeli had offered him a million dollars to avoid divorce.
The businesswoman categorically rejected this statement: “No, that is a lie. It is very absurd.
Her response seeks to disprove an episode that, according to her, is unfounded and was included in the book without any real support.
Mayeli Alonso: Accusations of infidelity to Lupillo Rivera
The book also addresses a delicate issue: Lupillo Rivera claims that Alonso was unfaithful with a musician. Faced with this accusation, Mayeli preferred to keep her composure and not enter into a media conflict with the father of her children.
“I feel like to be talking back to him would be very toxic,” he commented.
“It’s his side of the story; always in a story there are two sides, two versions.”
With some sarcasm, he added: “It’s absurd, how could he not say that his girlfriend is the ex of the musician with whom I supposedly cheated on him”.
These words show Alonso’s annoyance at her ex-husband’s statements, but also her decision not to prolong the controversy.
Lupillo Rivera defended the purpose of his autobiography. In statements to People en Español, the singer assured that the book represents a sincere testimony of his life: “God’s timing is perfect and now was the time to write and to capture my whole life: my childhood, dating, divorces… everything is captured in this book”.
With this work, the artist seeks to share his personal and professional trajectory with his fans, presenting his version of the events that marked important stages of his life.
The relationship between Mayeli Alonso and Lupillo Rivera was one of the most mediatic in the Latin entertainment world. They married in 2006 and had two children together, but their marriage ended in 2019, after several years of rumors about personal problems and irreconcilable differences.
Although the two have tried to maintain a cordial relationship for the well-being of their children, public statements and now the release of the book have rekindled media and fan interest in the details of their story.
Despite the tensions, Alonso has tried to maintain a posture of respect towards the father of her children, avoiding direct confrontations that could affect the family. In her recent statements she made it clear that, although she does not share the way Lupillo presented the facts, she prefers to move forward without allowing the past to affect her.
The controversy surrounding Bitter Drinks is evidence of the difficulties many public figures have in separating their personal lives from media exposure, especially when stories involving third parties are published.
The exchange of statements between Lupillo Rivera and Mayeli Alonso shows that, despite the time that has passed since their divorce, their relationship is still in the public eye. While he seeks to tell his version of events through his autobiography, she defends her reputation and questions the veracity of some of the episodes narrated in the book.
This new chapter in the ex-couple’s story makes it clear that memories and perceptions of events can vary significantly, leaving readers and the public with two different versions of the same story.
