Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, best known for his role as Namor in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' is denying allegations of abuse made by saxophonist María Elena Ríos.
Allegations of emotional and sexual abuse surfaced over the weekend after Ríos, who is also an activist in Mexico who"It is very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved around the world for playing a character in a movie like @TenochHuerta,"In a statement sent Monday to NBC News, Huerta characterized the accusations as “false and completely unsubstantiated.
"Why did I wait to talk about it? Because I have a process. Why didn’t I report it? Because I was afraid that this would happen: people who refuse to believe that a SUPER HERO is an abuser, manipulator and sexual predator,"Huerta said he dated Ríos for several months about a year ago. He characterized the relationship as"entirely consensual at all times, as countless others can attest.
After the couple ended their relationship, Ríos"began to misrepresent our interactions both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends," Huerta said.
