Alicia Villarreal signaled for help during a concert due to a situation of violence that she reportedly experienced at the hands of her husband, Cruz Martínez. Despite this difficult experience, the singer decided to fulfill her commitment and performed at the Arena Heroica in Zitácuaro, Michoacán. However, her mind was constantly thinking about how to ask for help, as she felt at risk.
In an interview, Alicia Villarreal recalled that some people in the audience had already made signals for help, so she finally decided to ask for help on stage. This unexpected act had a significant media impact that she was not prepared for. The singer expressed that she was surprised by the audience's reaction and that, at that moment, she was only aware of her situation and the urgency to ask for help.
After this incident, Alicia Villarreal filed a complaint against Cruz Martínez for domestic violence at the Attorney General's Office of Nuevo León. Her legal team issued a statement assuring that they would follow the legal process to the end to seek justice. For his part, Cruz Martínez denied the allegations and claimed that the truth would come to light with real evidence.
Alicia Villarreal shared that she was distressed about leaving her children at home without explanations, especially knowing that the complaint could take several days to process. Upon returning home, she found her children scared and revealed that this was not the first time she had suffered physical abuse. The singer decided to flee her home and go to a hospital after a fight with Cruz Martínez in which she felt at risk.
