Actress Maribel Guardia has made the decision to file a lawsuit against Imelda Tuñón, who is the ex-wife of her deceased son, Julián Figueroa. The accusation is related to alleged domestic violence and drug abuse by Tuñón, which supposedly puts the safety and care of their son, Juliancito, seven years old, at risk.
The news about the lawsuit became public at the end of January 2025, and since then, a series of controversies and revelations surrounding the case have unfolded. Maribel Guardia, amid the controversy, presented recordings and photographs as evidence that would support her accusations against Imelda Tuñón.
In response to public criticism, Maribel was labeled as opportunistic, to which she responded with a statement highlighting that the relevant evidence had already been submitted to the authorities and reaffirming that her main concern is to safeguard the well-being of children and animals.
In an interview with TVNotas, Maribel Guardia revealed that she has faced consequences in her artistic career due to Imelda Tuñón's accusations, having lost million-dollar contracts and being labeled as a suspected "dealer." The singer emphasized her commitment to the truth and the presentation of tangible evidence instead of unfounded rumors.
Imelda Tuñón managed to surprise everyone by obtaining legal custody of José Julián Figueroa, generating more controversy surrounding the case. Additionally, conversations have been leaked that point to desires for violence against Tuñón by third parties involved in the situation.
In this context, the opinion of Nagibe Abbud, a former member of the K-pop group with which Imelda Tuñón collaborated, has joined, positioning herself in favor of Maribel Guardia and expressing her understanding towards the Costa Rican in this difficult episode.
In an unexpected twist, journalist Carlos Jiménez 'C4' reported the detention of two alleged drug traffickers related to the case of Maribel Guardia and Imelda Tuñón; however, these alleged culprits were later released by authorities, generating more uncertainty regarding the outcome of this controversial family situation.
