Overview
- Wednesday, Axel said he had been invited to perform during Pope León XIV’s visit to Córdoba but was dropped after televised statements by a former wardrobe assistant drew public attention.
- Former wardrobe assistant Griselda Pelozo has a civil complaint reported by her lawyer that alleges unpaid fees, failure to return garments and psychological harm from the dispute.
- Axel denies the accusations, calls them baseless and has announced he will file a criminal counter-complaint against Pelozo.
- Organizers told producers they removed Axel to avoid controversy ahead of the large Mass at FAdeA on Nov. 10 and the rest of the musical roster for the Nov. 8–11 visit remains in place.
- The case shows how televised allegations can quickly reshape event lineups and may trigger both civil and criminal legal battles that affect the careers of the people involved and the planning of high-profile public events.
