Barbara Rey, the Spanish actress, has decided to withdraw her lawsuit against her son, Angel Cristo Jr, and television personality Alessandro Lequio after reaching a settlement with Mediaset. This development comes a year after Rey initiated legal action in November 2024, alleging defamation against both the media group and her son.
Rey claimed to have been subjected to a “media hunt” and accused her son of disseminating photographs without her consent and stealing personal documents, which she stated violated her right to honor. She also expressed her discontent towards Lequio, a collaborator on the show “Vamos a ver.”
The actress”s decision to withdraw the lawsuit follows the agreement she reached with Mediaset, a move that many anticipated as she is now part of the new season of “Bailando Con las Estrellas,” a competition aired on Telecinco.
In a related context, Rey recently reacted to the upcoming publication of memoirs by former King Juan Carlos I, stating, “I am not the least bit interested,” emphasizing that everyone has their own life story to tell. Her response reflects a certain indifference towards the content of the memoirs, which are set to be released in France on November 5 and will not be available in Spain until a month later.
Ultimately, Rey”s legal journey illustrates the complexities of personal relationships intertwined with public scrutiny, particularly in the realm of media. The resolution of this lawsuit marks a new chapter for Rey as she continues her career in entertainment.
