Barbara Rey, a 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 nearly a year after she initially filed the lawsuit, which alleged defamation against both parties.
In November 2024, Rey accused her son of sharing personal photographs without her consent and stealing confidential documents, which she claimed violated her right to honor. Additionally, she targeted Lequio for his comments about her during his appearances on the show “Vamos a ver.” The actress described the situation as a “media hunt,” suggesting that her motivations were not solely legal but also aimed at addressing her public image.
Reports indicate that the agreement with Mediaset was anticipated, especially as Rey has joined the cast of the new season of “Bailando Con las Estrellas,” a competition show aired by Telecinco. This involvement seems to signal a desire for her to move past the legal troubles and focus on her career.
In a related note, Rey expressed her indifference towards the upcoming memoirs of former King Juan Carlos I, which are set to be published in France on November 5, 2024, before their release in Spain a month later. When asked about her thoughts on the memoirs, Rey simply remarked, “I”m not interested in the slightest,” indicating that she prefers to chart her own path rather than engage with the narratives of others.
Overall, this resolution allows Rey to step away from the legal battle and regain her focus on her professional endeavors, while also highlighting her stance on personal matters and public discourse.
