The war between Belén Esteban and the Janeiro family adds a new chapter. The latest statements by Juls Janeiro, in which she accuses the collaborator of having started the confrontation and questions her relationship with her sister Andrea, have provoked a new response from the woman from Paracuellos. Belén does not seem willing to back down and, above all, puts on the table a question that has been waiting for an answer for a long time: if Jesulín de Ubrique intends to sue her, why hasn't he done so in the last 27 years?

"Oh, very good. The invisible man? It's time for him to appear," Belén responded ironically upon learning of the family's latest warnings. The collaborator assures that she has not yet received any judicial notification, although she makes it clear that she is not too worried about the possibility of it finally arriving. "They say he will speak when they win the lawsuit, which they seem very sure of. I haven't received anything, but if I do receive the lawsuit, I also have very good lawyers," she pointed out.

And it is precisely there that Belén has launched her big question: "Why hasn't he sued me during all these 27 years?" A phrase with which she questions that Jesús Janeiro will now take legal action after almost three decades of statements, confrontations and controversies related to their past relationship and the media exposure of their daughter Andrea.

Juls Janeiro again attacks Belén Esteban

Belén's statements come after the reappearance of Juls Janeiro, who has again publicly commented on her confrontation with the collaborator. Jesulín and María José Campanario's daughter maintains that she has had to endure Belén's comments about her physique and her place within the family for years.

"I thought that just as she made them, she endured them," Juls affirmed, who has also asked Belén not to insult her again. Among her reproaches, she recalls comments that, she assures, the collaborator would have made about her appearance and her birth.

But the conflict does not end there. Juls has also questioned the situation between her and Andrea Janeiro, after the young woman cut off contact with her half-sister. "Let her say why she blocked me," she demanded, assuring that she does not know what caused the estrangement between them.

Jesulín's 'love letter'

Juls Janeiro has also referred to the alleged lawsuit that Jesús Janeiro would be preparing against Belén Esteban. And she has done so by resorting, once again, to irony.

"When the love letter from Don Jesús Janeiro arrives, we'll see how many she takes," she commented, in reference to Belén's statements about the medication she would take due to the tension caused by the conflict.

The collaborator, however, insists that this lawsuit has not yet arrived. And if it finally does, she assures that she is prepared to face it with her lawyers.

Belén Esteban vindicates her daughter and exchanges controversy for Shakira

In the midst of all this confrontation, Belén has also wanted to remember an issue that she considers fundamental: Andrea Janeiro is an anonymous person and her privacy must remain outside of family disputes.

"Let no one forget that my daughter is anonymous," warned the collaborator, who seems to want to mark the limit between her own statements and her daughter's private life.

But, far from getting caught up in the controversy, Belén has shown that she has other plans. After responding to Juls and the warnings about Jesulín's possible lawsuit, the collaborator has made it clear that she wants to continue enjoying her life, her husband, her dog Noa and, above all, Shakira's music. "Go home now, I want to take off my eyelashes, take a shower, be with my husband, with my dog Noa, who is much better..." she said with a laugh.

 


And then she revealed one of her most anticipated plans: to see Shakira on Friday and see her again on Monday. A choice that turns the Colombian singer into Belén's particular counterpoint to this whole new media storm.

The collaborator ended her intervention by appropriating one of Shakira's most iconic messages: "To enjoy, because women no longer cry, women make money." And, for the moment, that also seems to be Belén Esteban's philosophy: waiting to see if that lawsuit finally arrives while continuing to do what she does best, enjoy, dance and make money to the rhythm of the Colombian artist's music.

Of course, aware that her words could be interpreted in another way, Belén wanted to make one last clarification: "I'm not saying it for anything, I just love that song, eh? And I also love Waka Waka. That one, until I finish dancing it, I won't stop." The collaborator insisted that she does not intend to send any indirect message and closed with a warning about how easily statements can be taken out of context today: "Don't take them like the songs, because you have to be very careful. Because now everyone takes everything...".
