Lawsuit of Mario and Brenda Bezares
The Bezares couple has initiated a legal process with the help of the Ezeta Pasquel law firm.

They argue that the situations presented are completely false and have no real basis, which violates their right to privacy.
“So, in addition to being completely false situations, devised by its writers, and without any real basis, they violate the right of the Bezares to private life,” the statement reads.

In addition, they assure that neither Amazon Prime nor the production company have their authorization to refer to them. Although they requested to stop the launch of the series, their request was not heeded.

“There is no support to prove the veracity of the presumed statements, that is, there are no documents or data that evidence the use of prohibited substances, guilt or participation, directly or indirectly, of my parents in the responsibilities that were intended to be established. against my clients,” the statement states.
The main objective of this lawsuit is to obtain a resolution that not only repairs the damage caused, but also prevents similar situations from occurring in the future, signaling a clear warning of digital and media violence.

The series is still available on Prime Video, generating both interest and controversy among the public and those involved.
