Ime Tuñón Breaks Down in Interview, Accuses Maribel Guardia of “A Lot of Violence” Amid Escalating Dispute

Imelda “Ime” Tuñón broke down in tears during a recent media interview, saying that her former mother-in-law, Maribel Guardia, subjected her to “a lot of violence.” The emotional statement marks a significant escalation in the ongoing legal and personal conflict between the two women, after dueling reports of alleged court-ordered restraining measures.

During a recent interview, Imelda “Ime” Tuñón cried and accused Maribel Guardia of “a lot of violence” toward her. This comes after claims by Tuñón’s legal team that they obtained protective measures against Guardia. Guardia’s legal representative has strongly denied this, saying their team never received any such notification officially.

Imelda Tuñón was observed visibly upset during a recent television interview when asked about the current conflict with Maribel Guardia. Asked about the dispute, Tuñón said the hostility has been long and fierce.

“It hasn’t been just the last two weeks; there has been a lot of violence in terms of me, so yes, it is strong, yes it is strong,” Tuñón said, according to transcripts of the interview. The segment did not include details of any physical altercations, and it placed the violence in the larger context of their ongoing interpersonal and legal conflict.

The interview came soon after Tuñón’s legal team announced that a judge had issued protective measures against Maribel Guardia, her husband Marco Chacón and their lawyer, Alonso Beceiro. Tuñón’s lawyers said the decision followed a hearing the other side reportedly did not attend.

But Maribel Guardia’s legal counsel has categorically denied this story. There have been no such measures against my client,” said attorney Alonso Beceiro.

“Nothing has been imposed on us,” Beceiro explained in a statement to the press. He stressed that his team learned of the supposed ruling through the media and statements from Tuñón’s lawyers and not through official judicial channels.

From a legal standpoint, any such measures would be invalid without the proper due process, Beceiro added. “The measures are without effect by jurisprudence. “Notifications must precede the act, that is, they must have notified us of that supposed hearing so that we were in a position to present ourselves and, if need be, carry out the defense of our rights,” he stated.

The argument is part of the very public family fight that has been going on since the tragic death of singer Julian Figueroa in 2023. It highlights the intricate legal and emotional issues of guardianship, familial relationships, and public accusations of psychological or domestic violence within high-profile Mexican entertainment families. The case also illustrates how legal maneuvers are increasingly played out in the media, and the need to scrutinize official court records versus public relations claims.

Maribel Guardia’s legal team has said they do not plan to file counter-lawsuits at this time, saying Tuñón’s shifting public accounts make legal action difficult. However, they reserve the right to defend their client’s reputation if false claims continue to be spread.

Any official legal remedy concerning the alleged protective measures will depend on whether formal court documents are filed, served, and scheduled for a formal hearing where both parties can present evidence. In the meantime, the claims are allegations unless a court independently verifies them.
