Belinda Secures Protective Measures in Mexico Over Alleged Digital Violence by Lupillo Rivera

Her lawyers seek platform takedowns under gender-violence provisions, including a halt to the book’s distribution in Mexico.

Overview

  • Belinda filed a criminal complaint on October 2 in Mexico City alleging digital and media violence tied to disclosures about her private life.
  • The Ministerio Público granted urgent safeguards that bar Lupillo Rivera from approaching or contacting her and authorize removal of offending content from platforms.
  • Belinda’s attorney says Rivera’s book Tragos Amargos uses her image and personal data without consent and includes a screenshot of a private FaceTime call.
  • Rivera said in a recent interview that he lost a phone with intimate photos and videos but had copied the files to a computer and still retains them.
  • The case remains under ministerial investigation as Belinda’s team moves to stop circulation in Mexico and evaluates steps that could reach U.S. jurisdiction.
