Huerta Addresses Milan Week Controversy and Privacy Concerns
In a statement released on April 8, 2023, Tenoch Huerta addressed the escalating controversies surrounding his involvement with a culturally significant cape worn at Milan Fashion Week.

Rios Intentisifies Social Media Campaign Against Huerta By Inviting Anonymous Testimonies But Lacking Concrete Evidence
Elena continues her social media campaign against Tenoch, accusing him of emotional manipulation and “stealthing.” This time, she takes it a step further by inviting other women to share their own alleged experiences of sexual assault by Tenoch. Elena tries to spark a #MeToo movement against him by publishing these claims from anonymous sources. However, her allegations still lack concrete evidence, which continues to make the situation highly controversial and raises questions about the validity of the claims.
Anonymous Accounts
It’s essential to clarify the trustworthiness of anonymous sources and the credibility and reliability of their claims. Without concrete evidence or verification, it is essential to approach such information with caution.
First Source
The first anonymous woman account insinuates Tenoch’s involvement in a “stealthing” incident, yet both lack substantive evidence.

Second Source
A second anonymous woman alleges that Raciel Rivas, a cultural promoter, engaged in “stealthing” with a past girlfriend and tried to tie Tenoch to it, suggesting he was dismissive of such actions. This account also claims that after a confrontation regarding this topic, she was sidelined in favour of Tenoch.

Third Source
The third anonymous woman alludes to a sexting conversation with Tenoch, indicating the dialogue was inherently sexual from the start and that Tenoch primarily engaged when the content was explicit.

Raciel Rivas and Ex-Girlfriend Ruth Debunk Elena’s Stealthing Accusations
By this point, Elena Ríos had publicly accused not just Tenoch Huerta but also Raciel Rivas of alleged “stealthing,” further suggesting that Tenoch supported such actions. These serious allegations were made without any corroborative evidence, converting private matters into a public spectacle. Raciel quickly responded on Twitter to debunk the accusations made against him. In a further blow to Elena’s narrative, Raciel’s ex-girlfriend Ruth, supposedly the victim in these accusations, released a video flatly denying any form of abuse. This series of events underscores the reckless nature of Elena’s campaign and the anonymous sources she relies on. It calls into question their willingness to tarnish reputations without concrete evidence and to irresponsibly air private matters they had no right to disclose publicly.

El Feisbuk Malinche Debunks Rios’ Claims About Unpaid Contributions
Looking back, Elena took to social media on June 8th to accuse Poder Prieto of failing to pay her for her contributions to a podcast.

Feisbuk Malinche released a statement that said that they did owe Elena 650 pesos (around $34) and revealed that they have made six attempts to pay her between August 2022 and June 2023. This information directly contradicts Elena’s initial claims against Poder Prieto. As of the latest update, Elena has yet to respond to Feisbuk Malinche’s statement or clarify why she falsely accused Poder Prieto of owing her money and wrongly using her content without her permission.
