Mexican singer Paulina Rubio is facing a new legal controversy after being accused of allegedly physically assaulting her oldest son, Andrea Nicolas Vallejo Rubio, 14, during an incident at her residence in Miami, Florida.
The case has captured the attention of the Hispanic community in the United States, given the notoriety of the artist and the seriousness of the accusations; Paulina is reportedly going through a complicated legal situation.
Details of the incident
According to reports presented at a court hearing in Miami, last Tuesday Paulina Rubio allegedly beat her son for approximately six hours and took away his cell phone to prevent him from communicating with his father, Spanish businessman Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera, known as “Colate”.
The minor’s legal representative stated that she received a call from Nicolas around 9:00 p.m. requesting help and subsequently sent him a photograph showing a red mark on his back, similar to a handprint, which would indicate a possible physical assault.
Following the incident, the local police intervened and the teenager was taken to his maternal uncle’s home on the recommendation of the authorities.
In addition, the minor’s lawyer requested the court that both Rubio and her son attend therapy, arguing that this type of situation has been recurrent.
Paulina Rubio’s response
Paulina Rubio’s defense denied the accusations, describing them as a strategy by her ex-partner to obtain custody of the child and move him to Spain.
They stated that there is no conclusive evidence of the alleged assault and that the singer acted within her parental rights in disciplining her son.
Context of the legal dispute
Paulina Rubio and Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera have been in a legal dispute over custody of their son since their separation in 2012.
In March 2025, Rubio filed a lawsuit against “Colate” for having withdrawn her son from school without her consent, which led a Miami judge to take measures to prevent the child from leaving the country without authorization.
In addition, in December 2024, Rubio requested the authorities that her ex-husband no longer spend time with their son, citing concerns for the child’s welfare.
