Mickey Santana: the former soap opera star who would be under investigation
Mickey Santana would join the disappearance of his girlfriend, Ana Victoria Ruiz Palacios, as the woman’s family alleged this week on “First Hand.” The girl would have disappeared in April 2022.
Last February the case became public when Dana Paola brought his daughter “Viko”, as they call her, on stage to ask for help to find it.
Enrique González Casanova, the family’s lawyer, blamed this the exactor would be involved in a human trafficking gang “This works in the state of Jalisco,” he said on the Mexico show.
Mickey Santana remembers why he brought vicious and vengeful Omar Contreras to life on the children’s soap opera Partners in Rescue (2002), which you can see here on ViX.
But what happened to his promising acting career?
What stopped Mickey Santana from acting?
In a review of the People en Español magazine portal, the statements made by Mickey Santana himself some time ago about the strong reasons he had for leaving the forums were published.
“I had a really bad accident, I got out of a car, got out and braked with my face literally, that is I got rid of my face“, he spoke.
“That’s why I left TV,” he explained, “I couldn’t practically move that arm, today I already move it pretty well.”
” They reconstructed part of my faceI have a fractured skull, among many other problems that resulted from a super crash,” he shared.
Santana retired from soap operas in 2011 after starring in other hits such as Friends x Forever (2000), which you can also see here on ViX.
In that story he played Gilberto, a boy with a speech impediment. He also participated in other melodramas such as “Sometimes we will have wings” (1997) and “A light on the road” (1998).
He also participated in series such as the iconic “Mujer, casos de la vida real”, by Doña Silvia Pinal.
Retired from television studios, Mickey Santana entered the business world.
In May 2021, she was in the news because, like several celebrities, announced that he opened his OnlyFans accounta platform where some users offer sexual content in exchange for a subscription fee.
“When I stopped playing after my accident, obviously we stop having income at home,” he said, according to statements reviewed by People en Español.
“When you find out that purchasing power makes things happen the way you want, when you want, under the circumstances you want, that’s when I said, ‘Okay, what am I going to do, what do I need?’
“And from my perspective, there are so many things you can do, legally or illegally, I preferred the legal route and it was work,” he said.
Now, for the family of Ana Victoria Ruiz Palacios, Mickey Santana is the prime suspect in the young woman’s disappearance.
It is known that the retired actor has a daughter whose pictures he used to share on his social networks, which are currently inactive.
