Alessandro Lequio finally spoke out this Monday about the information published by this portal in the New Year: that Ana Obregón has not contributed the money for her exclusives or the book so far The Shrew Boy to the Aless Lequio foundation, as he said he would do.
After the actress gave up to three different versions about the reason why she has not contributed this money to her son's foundation, Lequio said on Telecinco: “Ana's accounts are Ana's and they do not interest me at all, and the foundation's accounts are those of the foundation and are more than clear”.
In this way, the Italian count, vice president of the foundation, disassociates himself from President Obregón's decisions regarding the money he donates or does not donate. The tension between the two has been evident since the birth of Ana Sandra via surrogate in March of last year. In February, he already knew that the girl was on the way. In February, his son's foundation was presented to the media and he did not attend. Then it was said that because of Covid. It was the first time that a distance was shown between the two since the illness and death of his son, Aless Lequioin May 2020. To date, the talk show host has not confirmed that his son's last wish was to have children after he died.
Regarding the financing of the foundation, he explained again that most of the money comes from the donation that a good friend of his obtained: “The foundation's accounts are more than clear. The funds are close to four million euros and come from a donation that a dear friend of mine managed at the time. [Manolo Godia]. The funds are made up of both a cash portion and real estate. One in the Plaza del Descubridor Diego Ordas, where we have set up the foundation series, and another on Hermosilla Street [ambas en Madrid]. From there, the foundation has more than enough funds for its operation and for the financing of the projects to which we have committed. So far we have funded two trials focused on Ewing's sarcoma, the disease my son had, worth 180,000 euros“.
The contradictions of Ana Obregón
Ana Obregón said on repeated occasions that she would donate the money from her exclusives and what she earned in copyrights with The Shrew Boy to the Aless Lequio Foundation. This portal spoke with a source familiar with the foundation's accounts and confirmed that until now, we closed those lines on January 1, Obregón did not donate all the money that he said he would donate. After the information published by this portal, the presenter herself gave up to three versions through fellow journalists: the first was that she had not donated what she earned from her exclusives because she had already contributed an advance to create the foundation and the money for a purse auctioned; the second is that she only donated part of what she earned with some exclusives because she had a mouth to feed; and the third is that not some, but all of the exclusive ones, go to an account created for when Anita is older. Through Pepe del Real, she also pointed out Lequio as the mole of certain information.
The Shrew Boy
About The Shrew BoyAna hid behind the fact that the money from the rights to the work had not yet been delivered because Harper Collins, the book's publisher, was liquidating the exercise in March, adding that the publisher itself would send the money to the Aless Lequio Foundation on those dates. , as admitted by a spokesperson for the publisher.
However, when asked about the advance that Ana supposedly received, the editor herself said that “the contract with Ana Obregón is confidential,” while sources from the publisher cited in Public mirror by the journalist Laura Fa also assures that the actress was given three advances: the first part, upon signing the contract; the second, when delivering the original; and the third, when the work is published. None of these amounts, neither the exclusives nor the book, had reached the Foundation as of January 1.
This destroys the explanations advanced until now that the Foundation had not received money from the profits obtained from the sale because the publisher does not settle the sales until March. That is, Ana Obregón, according to this version, has collected the advances but has not contributed them, at least until now.
