Bárbara de Regil has opened up about a troubling incident of harassment that she experienced with the late producer Memo del Bosque during a work meeting. In the reality show “Secretos de pareja,” she recounted a moment when del Bosque, who was married, attempted to kiss her without her consent. De Regil emphasized that her choice to share this experience was part of her personal healing process, rather than an intention to spark controversy.
She clarified that her remarks were recorded prior to the producer’s death in April 2024. Reflecting on her decision to speak out, De Regil expressed that she felt it was time to release a burden she had carried for years, stating, “I wish he could see that I wasn’t afraid and that I spoke up.”
Memo del Bosque, a well-known figure in Mexican television and the founder of the production company Telehit, passed away on April 7 after a prolonged battle with cancer, which he had been diagnosed with in 2017. He was grateful for the support from his loved ones in a posthumous message shared on social media, thanking his friends for their unwavering love.
De Regil’s revelations align with a growing trend in the Mexican entertainment industry, where more women are courageously sharing their own experiences with abuse and harassment. Having previously disclosed childhood trauma, she continues to advocate for emotional freedom by sharing her story.
As the conversation around these issues continues to evolve, De Regil’s bravery in speaking out offers hope to others who may be struggling with similar experiences, empowering them to reclaim their narratives and encourage dialogue regarding accountability in the industry.
