Camille M. Vásquez, of Brown Rudnick LLP, is representing Trevi to “seek justice and hold those responsible accountable,” the firm said in a statement. Vásquez was the lawyer of actor Johnny Depp.

“For many years, she chose to remain silent about the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of Andrade to avoid reliving the horrific experiences and, most importantly, to protect her children and family,” the caption reads.

Trevi denied that he lured Andrade’s accusers into molesting him. She also said that she is a ‘prisoner’, reports Mexican media. She claims that she was beaten with fists, whipped with belts or cables, isolated, spied on, repeatedly raped and His talent was used to generate profit for the producer.

“There were many other women and girls whom Andrade controlled and abused over the years, but Ms. Trevi was his real star. and therefore the girl who most needed and wanted to dominate and control,” the lawyers state in the document.

Trevi, according to his version, was forbidden to talk to other men, and Andrade kept all the money from performances and record sales.

“Instead of living the lifestyle of the rich and famous that one might expect from Mexican MadonnaMrs. Trevi, in private, was often dressed in old rags, sometimes forced to sleep naked on the cold bathroom floor for days at a time. She was surrounded by other young women and girls who, like her, Andrade controlled and carried out his orders by watching her. and condemning every supposed disobedience or imaginary offense against their authority.”

She did strenuous exercises, was hungry, and was whipped for Andrade’s entertainment. “There was a sadistic game: Mrs. Trevi had to endure and silently accept a predetermined number of blows. If he screamed, gasped or gave any sign of distress, Andrade would treat it as a new punishable offense and the beating would start over. During the beating in question, Mrs. Trevi fainted. She regained consciousness on the floor and found Andrade on top of her sexually assaulting her,” the lawsuit states.

The counterclaim concludes that The abuse forced Trevi to attempt suicide.

The singer admitted that many young women became pregnant and were forced to have an abortion. And that she did it herself, in the United States, in the nineties.

Trevi says one of the women she is now suing was Andrade’s assistant. This is the complainant who claims this When she was 15 years old, the singer attracted her to the group and launched her into a cycle of abuse.

Now, Trevi expects compensation from the two women. “Ms. Trevi is a survivor of abuse, not a perpetrator, and denies any responsibility for anything,” the document claims.

On the other hand, the lawyer handling the case of the two anonymous plaintiffs remains adamant about the large age difference between her clients and the defendants, Trevi and Andrade. “The exploitation of power disparities is at the heart of these abuse cases and it’s obvious who has the power,” said Karen Barth Menzies.
