The singer and actress Imelda Tuñón, who works on the musical La Fortuna, announced that she was ill with bronchitis after posting a photo of her bed on Instagram on October 3. In the image, the artist appears reclined with her eyes closed and a mask, accompanied by the phrase: “Damn bronchitis, leave my body!”. The publication generated concern among her followers, although Tuñón did not reveal if she was hospitalized or detailed the treatment received.
Despite her discomfort, the artist shared a later photo of a ramen plate, showing that she remains active and on track with her professional commitments. The episode of illness arrives in the midst of the musical’s preparation, whose premiere is scheduled for November in Mexico City.
Legal dispute with Maribel Guardia
The health episode coincides with a legal controversy between Tuñón and Maribel Guardia, mother of the late singer Julián Figueroa. Guardia recently filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office of Justice in Mexico City, alleging that Tuñón had acquired medications during her relationship with Figueroa.
The complaint allows the authority to examine the facts, but it does not constitute a conviction against the artist. Tuñón’s defense reported that a judge had ratified protective measures in favor of the actress and her son, which also included Guardia, her husband Marco Chacón and the lawyer Alonso Beceiro. However, Beceiro replied that they were not officially notified and questioned the validity of the measures.
Context of the musical La Fortuna
Imelda Tuñón had been seen in the rehearsals of La Fortuna before declaring her illness. The work, produced by the same-named musical company, will premiere in November and has become a reference point for the actress’s career, who is in the midst of a creative process.
With bronchitis and the judicial process, the actress faces a double burden that tests her physical resistance and her ability to manage public crises. Mexican media, such as TVNotas, El Financiero and Univision, have closely followed both events, providing details on the statements and responses of the parties involved.
