Overview

  • Playà began idolizing Sanz at 16 and entered a romantic relationship at 18 with the then-49-year-old singer, citing a clear power imbalance.
  • In her June 20 '¡De Viernes!' interview she said she felt “utilizada, humillada e incluso sucia” and alleged emotional manipulation by Sanz.
  • She revealed she initiated their first sexual encounter in September 2023 and described herself as obsessed with the artist before the relationship turned sour.
  • Sanz denied any wrongdoing on Instagram, stating Playà had offered him a family business investment that he declined after legal review.
  • Journalist Beatriz Archidona and other media figures criticized the vagueness of Playà’s allegations and raised ethical questions about her motives.
