On September 20, 2023, Jacqie Rivera, CEO of Jenni Rivera Enterprises Inc., filed a lawsuit against Cintas Acuario, owned by her grandfather Pedro Rivera, for allegedly “improper commercial exploitation of compositions and other proprietary rights of his mother’s estate . However, on December 18, the judge dismissed the case, arguing that lacked evidence.
The children of “La Diva de la Banda” were given a few days to present evidence to support the case. On the morning of this February 9th, the judge finally considered this there is evidence for trial.
According to information from El Gordo y La Flaca, Chiquis, Jacqie, Jenicka and Johnny went to the Federal Court in downtown Los Angeles for the hearing, in which their grandfather did not arrive, but his uncle attended on behalf of Juan Rivera. Mike, another of Jenny’s sons, didn’t go either.
Journalist David Valandez reported on the Univision show that among the demands made by the children of “La Gran Señora” were recover rights of his mother’s music not paid to her while she was alive, and those corresponding to them after her death, and stop profiting from image and musical heritage of his mother. They also intend to cancel the contracts with Cintas Acuario signed by Jenni in 1993, 1995 and 1996.
The statements of Jenny’s children when leaving the court
The four offspring of the Mexican regional star were heavily guarded by his security team and did not want to speak to the press. However, at the insistence of the media, Chiquis declared it the situation “is something very difficult”.
For his part, Johnny expressed that they are being cared for by the deceased Jenni Rivera: My mother’s spirit helps usthe truth”.
Juan Rivera warns that the truth will come out
His younger son Pedro Rivera spoke to reporters to warn that eventually the root of the problem will come to light.
” My nephews have not seen the mistakes they are making even in this case because I read all the documents (…) We wanted it dismissed today, partly I did it because of my father, partly not because I really want it all out so that the world knows where all this comes from,” he told various media such as “Ventaneando”.
Jenni Rivera’s younger brother explained that the main witness in his nieces’ lawsuit is a woman who has “very brave” to his fathersince he is the one who accused him of sexual harassment a few years ago, a trial that Don Pedro won in June 2022 and was acquitted of the crime.
Juan claimed that in several cases they tried to fix the situation without the involvement of lawyers. It also made it clear that in the courts ” Family ties in this case no longer countthis is a professional, professional thing.”
He warned that there was an event in December that was not made public, but will soon come to light. Also, the world will be able to see the control that Jenni Rivera’s children demanded of their mother’s companies in 2021, when it was under the leadership of their aunt Rosie, results that probably favor both him and his sister.
“There’s been a lot of talk about control, I’m already in control, Thank God the audit can now be made public“, he stated at the press conference.
