Model and influencer Valentina Gilabert remains in intensive care, fighting for her life after a brutal stabbing attack that left her in a medically induced coma. The 18-year-old was assaulted on February 5 in Mexico City, suffering multiple stab wounds to the hands, chest, and neck. She was immediately rushed to Hospital Médica Sur, where she underwent multiple surgeries.
Her family has now launched a public plea for blood donors to assist in her recovery as she continues to battle life-threatening injuries.
What Happened? The Attack by Influencer Marianne “N”
The suspect in the attack, Marianne “N”, a 17-year-old influencer, was arrested shortly after the incident by the Mexico City Security Secretariat (SSC-CDMX). She is known on social media for lifestyle, fashion, and travel content.
Reports suggest that the attack stemmed from a personal dispute, as Valentina is allegedly in a relationship with Marianne’s ex-boyfriend. Witnesses claim that an argument between the two quickly escalated into a violent assault.
Marianne “N” remains in custody while legal proceedings determine the charges she will face. The case is currently being investigated as an attempted homicide.
Valentina’s Family Calls for Justice
Valentina’s mother, Maureen Papon, has taken to social media to update the public on her daughter’s condition and demand justice.
“Valentina suffered over ten stab wounds. We trust the authorities, but this case cannot go unpunished. We call on President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mayor Clara Brugada, and Attorney General Bertha Alcalde to ensure justice is served.”
She also urged the public not to spread false information, emphasizing that the Gilabert family is the only reliable source regarding the case.
Where is the Investigation Headed?
Authorities continue to collect evidence to determine the legal consequences for Marianne “N”. Given her age, the case falls under juvenile law, but due to the severity of the crime, prosecutors may seek maximum penalties applicable for minors.
Meanwhile, Valentina’s medical condition remains critical, with doctors working around the clock to stabilize her.
Public Outrage and Social Media Reaction
The attack has sparked widespread outrage, with thousands of social media users calling for strict legal action against Marianne “N”. Influencers, celebrities, and activists have joined in demanding justice for Valentina, emphasizing the need to address violence among youth and social media-fueled conflicts.
