The Costa Rican dancer, singer, and actress Maribel Guardia reported her daughter-in-law Imelda Tuñón to the authorities for alleged irregularities in the home where they live, where it is suspected that they exposed Maribel's son, José Julián, to unsuitable environments for minors.
Since then, controversy has arisen regarding the private lives of those involved in this situation. The legal battle for the custody of José Julián between Maribel Guardia and Imelda Tuñón, the child's mother and daughter of Julián Figueroa, is in its early episodes. Opinions among fans and social media users are divided about who should keep the child, who lost his father almost two years ago.
Amidst all the material circulating on social media, La Tía Sandra's X account has shared an old video in which Maribel Guardia admits to being a "nosy mother-in-law." She recalled the moment when she asked her daughter to live with her and her husband for a time due to the insecurity that was prevailing, praising how her daughter-in-law had raised José Julián. Maribel mentioned that she made a pact not to interfere in her daughter-in-law's life unless it was to defend her.
In the video, Maribel Guardia expressed: "My daughter-in-law has made him very independent, and Julián too. Because there are things I say: 'Oh, I better not get involved,' because just one day I told her, speaking of the mothers-in-law, that we are usually so nosy." The actress also assured that if she intervened in her daughter-in-law's private life, it would be to protect her, keeping her promise to generally stay out of it.
