Tenoch Huerta has denied a sexual assault allegation leveled against him by musician María Elena Ríos. The “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star released a statement Monday calling the claims “false,” “irresponsible” and “completely unsubstantiated.”
Saxophonist María Elena Ríos has accused ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ star Tenoch Huerta of sexual assault and called him a ‘predator.’“A false and completely unsubstantiated accusation about me has spread like wildfire — and I cannot let it go unchallenged any longer,” Huerta wrote in his statement. “About a year ago, I dated Elena for several months. It was entirely consensual at all times, as countless others can attest.
“As a result, a few months ago, I engaged a legal team to commence the appropriate actions to protect my reputation and refute these irresponsible and false accusations that can cause great prejudice and damage. Although I am by no means perfect, I know that these allegations are simply untrue. And while I will always work to improve myself, I need to contest claims that are both false and offensive.
Huerta added that he is “deeply grateful” to his loved ones and “everyone who is willing to look at the facts before rushing to an untrue and unjust conclusion.” On Saturday, Ríos tweeted in Spanish, “It’s very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and the abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved around the world for playing a character in a movie such as Tenoch Huerta.”
