Quintanilla Siblings Embroiled in Bitter Legal Battle

Selena Quintanilla's brother, A.B. Quintanilla III, has confirmed a lawsuit involving his sister, Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga, and matters concerning their late father, Abraham Quintanilla. A.B. cited years of accumulated situations and a desire for transparency as reasons for breaking his silence regarding the legal action. He indicated that evidence and circumstances have led him to this point, despite prior reluctance to discuss family matters publicly.

In response, Suzette and their mother, Marcella Quintanilla, have issued a joint statement asserting they have not received any legal service. They refuted A.B.'s public claims as containing 'serious and false insinuations' and expressed a desire to correct the record. While affirming their love for A.B., they stated that love does not equate to accepting false accusations or allowing reputations to be questioned.

The family dispute surfaces years after Selena's tragic death in March 1995, when she was shot by Yolanda Saldívar. A.B. was Selena's bass guitarist and primary songwriter, while Suzette was a drummer for Selena y Los Dinos and now helps manage Selena's legacy and museum.
