Rocío Muñoz claims she faced pressure to terminate her pregnancy, allegedly fathered by Omar Montes. She presented WhatsApp messages as evidence and described anxiety caused by the singer's friends.
Rocío Muñoz has publicly accused the entourage of Omar Montes of pressuring her to terminate a pregnancy she claims is his. The situation, which unfolded in 2024, has drawn attention after Muñoz appeared on the television program Y ahora Sonsoles, where she shared WhatsApp conversations and detailed her experience with the well-known singer from Pan Bendito.
According to Muñoz, her relationship with Montes began when he visited the clinic where she worked. At the time, Montes was reportedly in a long-term relationship with Lola Romero, but he insisted to Muñoz that he and Romero were not together and lived separately. Their first intimate encounter occurred in October 2024. Initially, Montes was described as supportive and attentive, especially after learning about the pregnancy. However, Muñoz states that his attitude shifted after he discussed the situation with a friend, leading to suggestions that she should consider an abortion.
Muñoz presented WhatsApp messages in which Montes first expressed support, telling her she would not face the situation alone. But soon after, she says, he began to suggest ending the pregnancy, citing potential problems with Romero's family. Muñoz emphasized that she never asked Montes for anything and made it clear she would not demand support, stating her intention to continue with her life regardless of his involvement.
The pressure, according to Muñoz, intensified through repeated calls and messages from Montes' friends. She described feeling anxiety after one friend proposed taking her to clandestine clinics, insisting that the pregnancy could be interrupted at any stage. Muñoz recounted being approached by several individuals outside her workplace, which she said made her fear for her safety and that of her unborn child. She also shared that friends of Montes warned her that continuing the pregnancy would have severe consequences for the singer's life.
This case has sparked debate about the boundaries of personal relationships and the influence of public figures' inner circles. The use of WhatsApp messages as evidence highlights the growing role of digital communication in such disputes. In a related context, public scrutiny of personal matters involving celebrities has been a recurring theme in Spanish media, as seen when a recent controversy in 'Valle Salvaje' drew attention to the impact of private conflicts on public perception.
For context, Spanish law permits abortion within the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, with certain exceptions allowing for later procedures. Cases involving alleged pressure or coercion are subject to legal review, and support services are available for women facing such situations. The ongoing public discussion underscores the sensitivity of reproductive rights and the responsibilities of those in the public eye.
