The debate around the Movistar Plus docuseries 'La más grande' has taken a new turn: Rocío Flores is set to appear on 'De Viernes' on July 3. Her appearance comes amid renewed scrutiny of the series, which highlights the life and legacy of Rocío Jurado while exposing deep divisions within her family. The program's focus on Jurado's role as a feminist figure during the Franco era has been overshadowed by public disagreements among her relatives.
Rocío Flores, granddaughter of Rocío Jurado, has openly criticized the media coverage, expressing dismay at how her grandmother's story is being handled. Other family members, including Amador Mohedano, have also voiced dissatisfaction and accused the production of mistreatment. Gloria Camila Ortega, another prominent family member, has said the creators did not consult them at any stage. She has threatened legal action over the use of previously unpublished memoirs written by Jurado herself.
The controversy centers on personal documents that Rocío Jurado reportedly gave to her daughter, Rocío Carrasco, before her death. These writings, which form the backbone of the docuseries, chronicle Jurado's life from childhood through her separation from Pedro Carrasco. The documentary's team says the material was found while searching for photographs to include in the project. The dispute has also raised questions about the difference between public threats of legal action and a judicial resolution.
The family conflict continues to surface on Spanish television. In October 2026, Rosa Benito, Jurado's former sister-in-law, revisited the dispute while appearing on 'Supervivientes All Stars'. Benito said Rocío Flores had been harmed by prolonged public exposure: “They have not let Rocío Flores live her youth in peace. She has been hurt a great deal, and her mother has hurt her.” She also recalled Jurado questioning whether Carrasco contacted her children during holiday periods, attributing to her the words, “Does my daughter have no maternal feelings? Does she not feel the urge to call her children?” That account was presented as Benito's recollection.
Benito's daughter, singer Rosario Mohedano, defended Rocío Flores and criticized the effects of public scrutiny. “I love Rocío Flores very much. It is very unfair when your life is exposed publicly,” she said, as reported by ¡Hola! and Diez Minutos. Mohedano also said her relationship with Carrasco ended in 2022 after a disagreement, by which time the earlier docuseries had already been released. The exchange shows how television appearances continue to revive competing family accounts and arguments over privacy and loyalty, including how Jurado's descendants are treated.
Spanish media continue to devote impressive airtime to the family's internal conflicts. The situation echoes other high-profile disputes in Spain, where personal legacies and public narratives often collide. Recent coverage of regulatory challenges in the Spanish business sector, including concerns raised by Santander's leadership about EU overregulation, shows how public controversies can quickly become national talking points. More details are available in this report on regulatory reform and business competitiveness.
Rocío Jurado remains a cultural icon in Spain, and the handling of her personal history continues to provoke strong reactions. The legal and ethical questions raised by the docuseries show the challenge of balancing public interest with family privacy. The continuing televised dispute puts those questions within a broader debate over how relatives and media organizations present the legacy of a public figure.
