Shakira revealed how she spends the money she collected as a new scandal unfolds over the alleged abuse of a former driver

Shakira’s name continues to be in the spotlight in showbiz and entertainment, whether it’s a new song like “El Jefe,” an award like the two statuettes she won at the 2023 Billboard Awards, or scandals surrounding alleged bullying. of some former employees, for which their relatives hold Gerard Piqué responsible.

And since her last song in collaboration with Fuerza Regida, several alleged former workers have revealed their “not at all pleasant” experience while serving alongside the Barranquilla-born singer 46 years ago.

With “El Jefe” Shakira shot arrows at her ex-father-in-law and ex-partner Gerard Piqué by airing the situation her nanny experienced with the ex-footballer who fired her and didn’t pay her, which the artist disagreed with and rewarded her in several ways. He hired her again, took her to his place in Miami and even included her in his song.

What does Shakira spend money on?

“Women don’t cry anymore, women make money”, is a phrase that Shakira introduced into fashion with Session 53, which she also did with Argentinian Bizarrap, who positioned her at the top of Latin music and brought her two Billboard awards.

For now, she continues to charge at this stage of her life, where she assures that she is on her “honeymoon” with her music, and in the meantime, she is very clear on what she will spend a good part of her monthly earnings on. He found this out in a previous interview with Billboard in which he admitted where his income goes.

“About the salaries,” he admitted smiling during an interview when asked what he spent the money on, reports Canal RCN, recalling how important it is for Shakira to reward his employees.

“The viral video that put us out of work”: these are the three workers who were fired for dedicating Shakira’s new song to their boss

In this case, the clearest example would be Lili Melgar, the nanny he protected after Gerard Piqué was fired. However, since September 20, when “El Jefe” premiered, several testimonies from alleged former workers of the singer have arrived from Spain.

The latest was a driver who mentioned his “disappointing” experience on Telecinco’s “Socialité” program, as mentioned in Marca’s Celebrity column. Unlike Cristina Cárdenas, this former employee did not show his face and did not reveal his name, although he claimed to have worked for Shakira for 10 days in Madrid.

Among the accusations, he stated that he was forced to sign a 40-page contract stating that he was not allowed to look at or talk to the woman from Barranquilla, reports El Nacional de Catalunya.

“I confirm that the experience with Shakira and her brother Tonino during the 10 days in Madrid was one of the biggest disappointments of my life,” mentioned the person in question.

“I lost respect for her since I worked with her”: Former dancer and choreographer who worked with Shakira reveals her unpleasant experience with the artist, is she a “bad boss”?

“Don’t look her in the eye, don’t talk to her, don’t address her under any circumstances. Including dangerous requirements like turning the vehicle’s center rear-view mirror down, as they might tempt you to look at her. Shakira’s brother, Tonino, sits in the passenger seat and is constantly yelling at you,” he added, accusing the singer’s brother, Tonino Mebarak, of having a worse attitude than Shakira’s.

In addition, he accused the artist of being a “stinger”, which Cristina Cárdenas has already exposed, and which paparazzi Jordi Martin firmly denied, because he defends the woman from Barranquilla tooth and nail. For now, Shakira remains silent about the accusations against her.

“They don’t tip. They ask you for orders that you pay for out of your own pocket, and then you find yourself in a situation where you are practically begging to get back the amount you advanced out of your own pocket for their whims,” ​​he concluded. (AND)
