Actress Livia Brito asserts she is calm and focused on her work following the confirmation of her legal proceedings for alleged false declarations. When questioned by media about her legal situation, Brito declined to provide details, stating, "You can check everything with the lawyer. It's a process, just the first stage. A higher magistrate still needs to give the green light or acquittal; nothing is decided yet, these are processes. I am very calm, focused on the novela," she said during the initial clapboard ceremony for her new melodrama. The actress was denied an injunction by a judge on July 21, meaning she will continue to be processed for the alleged crime of making false statements. This legal action stems from a conflict initiated in 2020 by photographer Ernesto Zepeda, who accused Brito and her then-boyfriend, Mariano Martรญnez, of assault and robbery after an altercation on the beaches of Cancรบn. Beyond her legal matters, Brito shared insights into her new project, "Infinito Amor." The telenovela aims to explore themes related to autism, with Brito portraying Cristina, a character connected to children with the condition. She emphasized the importance of the telenovela's message, stating, "Telenovelas have a very beautiful message. In this case, it's that autism has many variants. We are going to show the public how to manage them, how to treat them, and how to give love to a child with different abilities." The series is set to premiere on October 12.
