Son Tentación Dispute Intensifies as Ex‑Members Press Claims, Arias Denies Owing Payments

A conciliation hearing with former director José Montenegro on September 19 pushes the conflict into formal channels.

Overview

  • Ex‑trumpeter and former musical director José Montenegro alleges an unpaid liquidation after eight years and has a conciliation hearing scheduled for Friday, which Paula Arias says her lawyers are handling.
  • Angie Chávez reiterates she never received her liquidation after nearly nine years and says América Hoy did not allow her to present her evidence or fully explain her case.
  • Host Janet Barboza challenged Chávez on air and suggested she sought media attention, prompting a tense exchange that continued in off‑air interviews.
  • Paula Arias maintains that Kate Candela was settled according to her contract and says the group owes her nothing, citing that early years lacked formal payroll registration.
  • Arias explains she denied Candela a day off to see her father due to staffing and health constraints on that date and says she does not plan to sue former members.
