Tenoch Huerta, who gave life to Namor in Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, has been trending due to recent accusations against him claiming he is a ‘sexual predator’ and that in reality, he is nothing like his fans believe. The actor has gained enormous fame within the Hollywood industry thanks to his acting talent; however, this admiration could be lost in a matter of minutes.
Tenoch Huerta Is Accused of Being a ‘Sexual Predator’
It was saxophonist María Elena Ríos who denounced the Mexican actor as a ‘sexual predator’ through her Twitter account. In addition, she assured that the collective ‘Poder Prieto’ has covered up his aggressions. María Elena’s accusations were revealed after she complained to the podcast about not publishing the edition in which she participated, even though she asked them not to publish the content because she did not receive any compensation for her work.
The also activist and defender of violence against women said that during her participation she was not paid a single dime, in addition to being exploited to work for free. Something that, of course, she denounced on social networks. ‘Poder Prieto’ reacted to the accusations, and during the discussion on Twitter, María Elena said that Tenoch Huerta was a ‘rapist and narcissist,’ and the production team was covering up for him.
“I made it very clear to them upon my departure from their cult that protects the rapist and sexual DEPREDATOR of @TenochHuerta not to publish anything about me. They still went looking for me at a concert to avoid scandals for his @MarvelLATAM movie.”
“It is very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved in the world for playing a movie character like @TenochHuerta. On the surface, charming, the great characteristic of a narcissist + a good portion of victimization.”
Tenoch responded to the accusations and deemed them as “false and completely unsustained. He added that he indeed dated the musician but that it was “entirely consensual at all times, as countless others can attest. And throughout it was a loving, warm, and mutually supportive relationship. After it ended, however, Elena began to misrepresent our interactions, both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends.”
Huerta also added that for the past month, he has been in contact with a legal team to deal with the accusations and “commence the appropriate actions to protect my reputation and refute these irresponsible and false accusations that can cause great prejudice and damage.” Let’s note that Huerta’s character in Marvel is planned to have more appearances in the future of the MCU and this could put his participation to a rapid end.
On her part, even Tenoch fans have been supporting Maria Elena, who is a survivor of attempted femicide by acid attack, the event that brought her close to the actor in the first place.
