  • He said the case affected his music career, forcing him to cancel part of a tour and refund tickets.

Vadhir Derbez says a court ruling in his favor has changed the course of a case involving an allegation of sexual abuse. Speaking to media, the actor and singer said the ruling confirmed what judges had found to be serious irregularities.

“There is already an amparo ruling in my favor, which is very positive and confirms that all the things the judges have found are completely out of order,” Derbez said. He did not provide further details about the alleged procedural problems.

There is already an amparo ruling in my favor, which is very positive and confirms that all the things the judges have found are completely out of order. There are very serious issues in my case, with many irregularities.

Derbez disclosed in May that a model had reported him to the Sexual Crimes Prosecutor’s Office over alleged unwanted touching. He denied the accusation and said it represented an attempt to extort him. He later said there was enough evidence to question how the case had been handled and called it fabricated, while asking the prosecutor’s office to act properly.

There is enough evidence to see that this is completely fabricated and ridiculous. There are things seriously out of order inside the prosecutor’s office, so I hope the prosecutor’s office does things properly.

— Vadhir DerbezHe criticized the handling of the investigation and called for proper action.

The dispute has also affected his work. Derbez said he had to cancel part of a music tour and refund tickets. He described the experience as extremely difficult and said the accusation had left him unable to focus on his career.

During the same media encounter, Derbez was asked about a separate controversy involving Victoria Ruffo and his 12-year-old sister Aitana Derbez. Ruffo had criticized reactions to the girl’s stage debut. Derbez defended Aitana while describing his affection for Ruffo.

It has been an extremely difficult process, having to live through a false accusation. We had to return tickets for the tour I had planned. It makes me very sad, but I cannot even focus.

— Vadhir DerbezHe described the personal and professional effects of the case.
