After the controversial separation of soccer player Gerard Piqué and the accusation of alleged tax fraud in Spain, Shakira is involved in a new controversy after a young man, whose identity has not been revealed, claims to be the singer’s son with Colombian actor Santiago Alarcon.
The news was released by Santiago himself, 42, who, through a video posted on his official Instagram account, revealed that for a few months, a young man has been harassing him and trying to extort money, arguing that he is the son he had with the 45-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter, the product of an alleged love affair he had with the actor.
This is a public complaint because I am being the victim of harassment, workplace rape and extortion, by a young man whose name I am going to omit on the recommendation of my lawyer but who in this video we are going to call him the ‘boy’.
It turns out that he assures that his mother, you are not going to believe me and I am sorry to name her, but it is time to do so so that you can see the absurdity of the story, it is Shakira. It’s something really crazy.
According to what the actor narrated, four years ago he received a message on Instagram from this young man, who reproached him for “abandoning” him in 1992, the year in which Santiago and Shakira were 12 and 15 years old, respectively.
‘Hello, dad, I’m your son. You abandoned me, my adoptive mom told me.’ He says I gave him up for adoption in 1992, but I was 12 years old at the time. This is a case of extortion because he is asking me for 835 million pesos (approximately 189 thousand dollars).
In addition, Alarcón said that the “boy” supposedly traveled from Canada to Colombia just to meet his supposed “father”, whom he met in a dressing room of the theater where the Colombian works after circumventing the security filters of the venue.
The actor assures that the extortion began after said incident, for which he decided to take legal action against the young man. However, after Alarcón “gave him the plane”, his false son began to send messages to his friends and even went to various media outlets to tell the alleged version of his story.
After listening to him, the media realized that his story was incoherent, he had no idea what he was saying and they ignored him.
Santiago Alarcón took the opportunity to clarify that he and Shakira have never had a romantic relationship, so it is impossible for the young man’s story to be true. So far, the singer has not commented on the matter.
I don’t know what to say, unfortunately I’ve never seen Shakira. This case is already in the hands of the competent authorities because I fear for my safety, that of my children and my family.
