At the end of July 2025, a YouTube channel called Kadri Paparazzi released a video stating that Maribel Guardia, 66, had been diagnosed with leukemia.
The content suggested that the actress was undergoing treatment after returning to Costa Rica and showed alleged evidence of weight loss and lack of eyebrows. These claims caused alarm among her followers, especially the Hispanic community that follows her closely in the US.
Maribel Guardia breaks silence from San Diego
In response, Maribel shared a video from San Diego, where she shoots a commercial.
In it, she clarified that she is “wonderfully well” and described as “unscrupulous people” those who spread false rumors. She assured that she undergoes constant check-ups and that “I always come out healthy”.
Maribel thanked her followers for their affection and said that she will continue “giving her all” with her work and personal projects. She urged to ignore unfounded news and “focus on the positive”.
Why did the rumor arise?
The origin of the rumor seems to lie in the sensationalist content of the channel and the misinterpretation of signs such as weight loss. These types of videos aim to generate clicks without medical support or official endorsement:
There is no communiqué from health institutions or statements from treating physicians.
Maribel did not mention hospitalization or cancer treatment.
His professional activity continues, without pauses or signs of serious illness.
This case highlights how in the digital world, speculation can spread quickly, and highlights the risk faced by public figures due to medical misinformation.
Health and projects: what is confirmed
On the other hand, Maribel Guardia continues to be active:
He shoots a commercial in the U.S. and supports his professional routine.
She remains involved in the custody dispute over her grandson, José Julián, following the death of her son Julián Figueroa in April 2023.
Maintains a presence in social networks, sharing positive messages and promoting emotional and physical health.
This balance between professional life, defense of her family and personal rights shows a conscious and responsible celebrity.
