Since Informalia uncovered Bárbara Rey’s lawsuit against Mediaset and several of its associated production companies, and the strategy of Juan Carlos I’s mistress to reach an agreement with the network and withdraw her complaint, the actress’s roadmap has been fulfilled with the precision of a Swiss watch.
The star filed the lawsuit, in which she asked for a million euros but extended her hand to reach an agreement, she withdrew it after reaching an agreement, and closed, as we already said, a series of interventions on Telecinco, a network as in need of an audience as Bárbara. King of money. Money that in part has already reached the accounts of Ángel Cristo’s mother and, to a certain extent, of his representative, who is the same one who represents Jorge Javier Vázquez for some matters.
The next installment of the “barbarous pack” that is sustaining the drop in Telecinco audiences has already been recorded. If on December 9, Bárbara Rey reappeared on the screen with an extensive interview that returned his story to the media spotlight, with a good tip that led the night with a special broadcast on Telecinco, now the vedette returns with the next installment. Once again he will reveal intimate aspects of his life. The first conversation marked the beginning of a new chapter that surrounds his figure, his family history, and, above all, his controversial relationship with King Emeritus Juan Carlos I.
But the star hasn’t said everything she had to say. A Mandarina source explains to us that “A team led by Santi Acosta has moved to Marbella to record a second part of this interviewpromising to delve into topics that were left open,” they tell us. “His relationship with his son Ángel Cristo will be discussed, as well as new details about his relationship with the emeritus.”
The producer Mandarina plans to divide the material into at least three installments, although there are other “gifts” from Bárbara “that are yet to come and are not interviews,” they emphasize to us.
While the first two will be based on already recorded content, the third could bring Bárbara Rey directly to the set, offering a live closing that promises to revive media interest. The question now is the time of broadcast. On Telecinco, The internal debate focuses on whether to launch the first installment before or after King Felipe VI’s Christmas Eve speechan event that will set the institutional tone of the festivities, especially in a year in which the tragedy caused by DANA in Valencia will be very present.
The Royal Family, of course, has not issued legal requirements to limit the content, but in the corridors of Mediaset there is a certain caution. From the CEO’s office, they have urged figures like Queen Sofía to be treated with “maximum sensitivity”taking care that your image is not compromised if your name is mentioned. Added to this is the usual scrutiny of the chain’s legal team, which thoroughly reviews the material to avoid legal problems.
Zarzuela maintains its traditional silence in the face of Bárbara Rey’s statements. The recordings and alleged audios in which Bárbara Rey captured compromising conversations with the previous monarch have been a point of tension for years. These records continue to be a weapon capable of rekindling old wounds or, at least, fueling public speculation.
Content and morbidity in this little theater
The interest in Bárbara Rey is above all economic. Since her rise as a star and showbiz figure, her personal career is interspersed with episodes of light and shadow: a difficult childhood, a stormy marriage with the tamer Ángel Cristo, and a life marked by the struggle to survive in a ruthless media world. Then, about King Juan Carlos and his son, an essential actor to add content and morbidity in this little theater that will culminate with a face to face between mother and son, and that the actress has already admitted, in the absence of Ángel Cristo sign your intervention for a cache that “is being negotiated,” they tell us.
For Bárbara Rey, this new media exposure has a practical aspect. As voices close to the production argue, You need income, and interviews are the most direct way to obtain it without the need to wait for long judicial processes with uncertain results. But they also represent a reckoning with their own past, an opportunity to narrate their version of events in a space that, although controlled, is still public.
The question underlying these installments is whether Bárbara Rey will say something really new or if, as so often happens, media expectation will end up overshadowing the substance. In a country where the monarchy has been the subject of scrutiny like few other institutions, Bárbara Rey’s words not only impact due to their personal character, but also due to their ability to resonate in the collective imagination.
On the horizon is the possibility that this circus will continue beyond the three scheduled deliveries. What is undeniable is that Bárbara Rey has regained focus, and with it, the ability, we don’t know if to shake some structures but to generate an audience and make money by telling, for example, that Don Juan Carlos left the bills on the table after venting his sexual desires with her whenever he felt like it.. Nothing surprises us.
