Mexico Issues Protective Measures in Belinda’s Case Against Lupillo Rivera Over Alleged Digital Violence

Prosecutors moved to curb disclosures from Rivera’s book and interviews as the complaint advances under a Mexico City ministerial investigation.

Overview

  • Belinda filed a criminal complaint on October 2 with Mexico City prosecutors alleging digital and media violence for the unauthorized disclosure of intimate information.
  • The Ministerio Público ordered immediate protections, barring Rivera from approaching or contacting Belinda, requiring the removal of offending content, mandating specialized psychological treatment, and instructing him to avoid offensive conduct or mentioning her during the process.
  • Belinda’s legal team says Rivera’s book includes images and a FaceTime screenshot of her, and they are pursuing takedowns on platforms and steps to stop the book’s distribution in Mexico, with potential action abroad to be evaluated later.
  • In a televised interview, Rivera acknowledged losing a phone containing sensitive material of Belinda and said he had transferred photos and videos to a computer, adding he “still has everything.”
  • After the warning from authorities, Rivera posted a profane, mocking video on social media, joking his book has “999” lies, according to Excélsior.
