Hours later, Pérez Garibay gave an interview on the YouTube channel El Fernan, where he clarified the situation by stating that Méndez is only his friend and that they had met for work proposals.
"She is a great friend of mine, we have a strong relationship, we see each other very often, we talk a lot, I care for her very much. There is a great relationship, we are good friends.
