The opening night of the fourth season of Teatro en Breve was expected to be a moment of celebration, with actress Imelda Garza Tuñón taking the stage in the play Motel. However, she never showed up, leaving fans and fellow cast members puzzled.
The play’s producer, Luis Ángel García, revealed that he last saw Imelda at a rehearsal on Tuesday, February 6. Since then, his attempts to contact her have been unsuccessful.
“Her phone goes straight to voicemail, and my WhatsApp messages don’t reach her. There’s no indication that she blocked me, so I’m just waiting.”
García emphasized that she is still part of the production and is welcome to return whenever she is ready. However, her absence raises concerns amid the ongoing legal and personal controversies she has been facing.
The Legal Battle Between Imelda Garza and Maribel Guardia
Garza Tuñón’s disappearance from public events comes weeks after Maribel Guardia, her former mother-in-law, filed a legal complaint against her. The dispute centers on the well-being of her son, whom she shares with the late singer Julián Figueroa.
Maribel’s accusations include allegations of substance abuse and inappropriate behavior, though Imelda has denied any wrongdoing.
The producer, Luis Ángel García, stated that during their work together, he saw no signs of instability or erratic behavior.
«She has been focused and professional. In rehearsals, I never noticed anything unusual—no influence of substances, no strange conduct.»
Despite the legal turmoil, Garza Tuñón reaffirmed her commitment to the play just days before her disappearance.
