Often hailed as "the Mexican Madonna," Gloria Trevi was non only when one of the to the highest degree daring and forefront Latin stars of the ‘80s and ‘90s; she whitethorn very well be the to the highest degree controversial fig in the story of Latin pop up and rock music en español. In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, the Mexican singer's nominate was repeatedly dragged through the clay because of a major sex-related dirt; Mexican law enforcement officials accused Trevi and manager/ex-husband Sergio Andrade of sexually abusing and imprisoning jejune girls--and in the Latin American media, the Trevi/Andrade outrage has been as immense a story as the O.J. Simpson tribulation was in the United States in the mid-‘90s (negative the racial constituent). Regrettably, the abundance of sordid, distressful headlines surrounding Trevi and Andrade let often overshadowed the importance of her sometimes sociopolitical medicine, which could be quite a challenging and provocative.Trevi was born Gloria de los Angeles Treviño on February 15, 1970 in Monterrey, Mexico, an industrial city in the northerly portion of the country. The isaac Bashevis Singer had a rough childhood; she was rather short, and her parents (both of whom allegedly abused her) divorced when she was 10. But none of those things discouraged Trevi from becoming in earnest concerned in the arts. As a preteenager, she studied ballet saltation and well-read to play the pianoforte; finally, she erudite to play the drums as well. Trevi was non only when concerned in Latin euphony; she was in earnest into American and British rock and listened to Led Zeppelin, the Doors, Deep Purple, Pat Benatar and Janis Joplin (among others) extensively. Against her mother's wishes, Trevi left home when she was only 12 and stirred from Monterrey to Mexico City to quest for a calling in the humanistic discipline. At first, life in Mexico City was a skin for Trevi, world Health Organization survived by doing everything from vocalizing on the streets for money to marketing tacos; she likewise taught aerobic exercise for for a while. But her vocation started to take off when, in 1984, a 14-year-old Trevi met manufacturer Sergio Andrade, world Health Organization was nearly 28 at the time and went on to get her managing director and wise man as well as her husband. After briefly vocalizing with the all-female group Boquitas Pintadas in the mid-‘80s, Trevi became a full-time solo artist and, with Andrade's help, recorded her debut solo record album, Que Hago Aqui?, in 1989. Released on an independent Mexican label, that record album and its lead individual "Dr. Psiquiatra" (which made it to #1 on the Latin charts) were a smash--and in 1990, Trevi landed a deal with RCA/BMG's Latin division. By 1993, she had sold more than than five one thousand thousand albums overall. The Mexican Madonna was marketing taboo great venues all over Latin America, where she embraced for the most part Spanish-language material merely likewise performed covers of songs by Zeppelin, the Doors and other English-speaking rockers on stage. Between her albums, alive performances and racy cover girl calendars (which sold millions of copies), soul wHO had been scandal poor as a minor had suit unitary of Mexico's wealthiest, most affluent and illustrious women.Even in the other ‘90s--long before her well publicised words with the law--Trevi was exceedingly controversial. The thing that made her so disgraceful to social conservatives in Mexico and other Latin American countries was her image--an range of a function as contumaciously and blatantly sexual as Prince or Madonna. Like Madonna--who she has ofttimes been compared to--and Prince, Trevi promoted sexual freedom in a identical in-your-face way. Trevi wasn't the only female artist of Mexican descent wHO was oft compared to Madonna in the ‘90s; the late tejano star Selena (a bilingual Chicana from Texas) was as well described as unmatchable of Madonna's Mexican counterparts. But Selena, for all her sex activity appeal, was never as controversial or sinful as Trevi, whose alive performances went taboo of their way to jounce, taunting and spite social conservatives. Trevi's antics included erosion a bandoleer of condoms across her nude chest and bringing young male fans on microscope stage so that she could strip them down to their underwear. But in that location was more than to Trevi than jolt economic value and titillation--much, much more. Her material often had a decidedly women's liberationist outlook, and she brought a sociopolitical linear perspective to topics like outside marriage pregnancies, drugs and abortion. Upsetting social conservatives was incisively what Trevi set taboo to do; in many respects, she was the Mexican equivalent of a Riot Grrrl. Some Latino journalists suffer compared her to Irish agitator Sinead O'Connor--a very vocal feminist--and Trevi was ofttimes quoted as expression that she hoped to move for president of Mexico someday. In fact, unrivaled of her cover girl calendars portrayed her as a nude painting presidential prospect.The singer's life history was seriously interrupted in the late ‘90s, when Mexican legal philosophy enforcement officials accused Trevi, manager/ex-husband Andrade and choreographer/backup singer Maria Raquenel Portillo, a.k.a, Mary Boquitas, of corrupting minors, sexual abuse and snatch. The authorities' master witness was singer Karina Yapor, world Health Organization was only 12 when, in 1996, she left her native Chihuahua to alive with Trevi and Andrade in Mexico City. Yapor went to them for musical preparation, only Mexican officials alleged that Trevi and Portillo (wHO recorded a solo record album for Sony's Latin part in 1995) brought the aspirant singer to Mexico City in monastic order for her to accept sex with the a great deal sr. Andrade. Yapor was only 13 when she became pregnant--allegedly by Andrade--and she has since written a book of account about her experiences with Trevi and Andrade, wHO she accused of "atrocious physical and psychological abuse." Subsequently, the case against them became fifty-fifty stronger when two other wishful Mexican singers, Karola de la Cuesta and her sister Katia de la Cuesta, came frontwards and made allegations of sexual ill-use against Trevi and Andrade. Trevi chartered the de la Cuesta sisters as backup singers when they were silent adolescents; Mexican police force accept alleged that Trevi was in reality recruiting them for Andrade's sexual pleasure. And in 1999, some other teen singer wHO Trevi allegedly recruited, Delia Gonzalez, told Mexican television system that Andrade forced her to make a pornographic moving picture in San Diego, CA and that he "ravaged me for ball club months…He would draw huffy and expectoration on me, he would strap me, he would lock me in a room." Between Yapor, Gonzalez, the de la Cuesta sisters and Andrade's ex Aline Hernandez (wHO made many of the same allegations of sexual abuse), Mexican jurisprudence enforcement felt that the eccentric against Trevi and Andrade was fabulously damning. Once praised by social progressives for supporting sexual liberation and distaff authorisation, Trevi constitute herself being accused of promoting sexual enslavement and female oppression. Nonetheless, Trevi silent had her parcel of traditionalist fans wHO refused to see her as villain; some fans have argued that she was manipulated by Andrade and was identical a great deal a victim herself. But Trevi's detractors, including Yapor and Gonzalez, make asserted that she knew just what she was doing and was a very willing accomplice in his alleged crimes. The Laredo Morning Times quoted Hernandez (wHO has much described ex Andrade as a sadistic, controlling misogynist) as saying, "I believe Gloria arrived as unacquainted as the rest of us were. If Gloria contributed to all this, it is because (Andrade) made her ill, turned her, trained her, educated her in his way of life." When prosecutors accused Trevi, Andrade and Portillo of crimes that were major felonies under Mexican jurisprudence, they denied all charges and ended up fleeing to Brazil. In early 2000, they were appreciated in Rio de Janeiro, where they vowed to conflict extradition back to Mexico. Trevi was being held in a Brazilian federal prison house when she became pregnant; at number one, she claimed to possess been sacked by a prison house guard, simply Trevi afterward recanted that story when DNA tests proven that Andrade was the forefather of Angel Gabriel (the baby son she had given birth to). Exactly how Trevi became meaning with Andrade's son slow parallel bars is unclear; officially, she was denied conjugal visits, although on that point was guess that Trevi and Andrade bribed a guard (wHO arranged for them to have sexuality). Some Brazilian prison house officials accept alleged that Trevi became meaning on purpose through unreal insemination, possibly because she believed that getting pregnant would serve her nullify extradition. The Brazilian government activity wasn't flying to hand the alleged offenders over to the Mexican government; in April 2000, a Brazilian federal margaret Court ruled that the grounds against them needful to be studied extensively before Brazil could agree to Mexico's extradition request. But in late 2002--after nigh tercet eld behind parallel bars in Brazil--Trevi, Andrade and Portillo in conclusion agreed to renounce fight extradition and returned to Mexico to stand tribulation. In Mexico, Trevi's return was every act the media circus that the O.J. Simpson test had been in the U.S., and some Mexican intellectuals argued that the country's media were paid way overly much attention to her case--often at the expense of serious political and social issues that needful to be addressed. To be sure, the riposte of Trevi, Andrade and Portillo was the top taradiddle in the Mexican media, just as the Simpson type had dominated the U.S. media in the mid-‘90s--and like Simpson, they had a "aspiration team" of costly defence attorneys (at least 12). In late 2002 and 2003, Trevi awaited trail in the Aquiles Serdan prison approximate Chihuahua.
