Chris Pérez: Stay Out of Selena Sibling Feud!
10 Sep
Summary
- Chris Pérez urged fans to stop tagging him in the Selena estate legal fight.
- Pérez signed a 1995 agreement concerning Selena's entertainment properties.
- A.B. Quintanilla is suing sister Suzette over alleged financial improprieties.
Chris Pérez, Selena's widower, has publicly distanced himself from the ongoing legal conflict between Selena's siblings, A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga. He implored fans and social media users to stop involving him in their discussions and tagging him in posts. Pérez emphasized his lack of intent to engage in any legal capacity with either sibling.
Pérez's name has surfaced due to a 1995 Estate Properties Agreement, which he, Selena's father Abraham Quintanilla, and her siblings signed. This agreement pertained to entertainment properties linked to Selena's name and likeness. Filings later indicated Pérez agreed to a 25 percent net profit share for signing the agreement.
This legal skirmish involves A.B. Quintanilla's recent announcement of legal action against his sister Suzette, citing unspecified "facts and circumstances" related to their late father. Suzette and her mother Marcella responded, denying any knowledge of formal proceedings and refuting claims of financial misconduct or intent to sell Selena's personal belongings.
A.B. countered, asserting Suzette was properly notified and failed to provide requested documentation. His attorney indicated demand letters were sent to Suzette, in her capacity as estate executor, seeking an accounting she allegedly refused. Notably, A.B. appeared to 'like' a comment referencing Yolanda Saldívar, Selena's convicted murderer.
