During the celebration of the baptism of Nicolas, the third son of Francisco Rivera and Lourdes Montes, José Luis Lopez, known as “El Toronero”, expressed his view on the legal dispute between Gabriela Guillén and Bertin Osborne. As Europa Press reported, the businessman expressed confidence that the two parties would reach an agreement before the dispute escalated to court, indicating that the possibility of a lawsuit would not materialize and that differences could be resolved out of court.
The event was held on Friday in the Santa Ana Parish in Seville, where Lopez attended accompanied by his wife, Carmen Mariscal. As reported by Europa Press, Lopez played a prominent role as godfather at the family party, which he himself described as a “big day” in which he assumed great responsibility within the close environment of Rivera and Montes. “I am the godfather, an important role, a responsibility that must be fulfilled and nothing. I am happy for the family to enter through the front door. The parents asked me, and I am happy to be able to be inside the family, and I already am. In fact, we are like a family, and nothing. The responsibility of that godfather is important and I am here to do it,” Lopez said during his arrival, according to what was reported by Europa Press.
Despite the festive tone in the Diocese of Seville, media attention has been diverted to the recent controversy between Gabriela Guillén and presenter Bertin Osborne. According to Lopez to Europa Press, he was skeptical about the possibility of filing a lawsuit: “Gabi, I don’t think she’s going to sue him, and I don’t think the blood will get into the river. I think in the end an agreement will be reached and that’s it.” These statements came after Guillen revealed on the television program “De Viernes!”, in which the mother complained that Osbourne did not respond to her messages and did not sign the corresponding organizational agreement for her son.
According to information published by Europa Press, Guillén indicated his desire to resort to judicial means after he considered that his attempts to dialogue and negotiate with the broadcaster were unsuccessful, due to Osborne’s lack of communication and behavior. For his part, Lopez said that Bertin Osborne himself would “certainly” make contact with Guillén to try to resolve the situation and avoid a lengthy legal process.
The Ubrique businessman, who maintains a close relationship with both Rivera and the parents of the baptized child, stressed the importance of the family moment, although he did not refuse to address the media issue involving other well-known faces. Following the line reported by Europa Press, Lopez alternated references to his personal participation in the baptism with comments about the controversy taking place in the social sphere. According to observers of the event cited by the media, the declaration of confidence in an extrajudicial solution highlights the interest in maintaining secrecy and stability around the character of the close environment of Osborne and Guillén.
Throughout the ceremony in Seville, the atmosphere reflected the family’s joy at the inclusion of “El Toronero” as godfather, and the anticipation regarding the development of the conflict between Guillén and Osborne. Media follow-up of the case continued after Lopez’s statements, awaiting news about possible approaches and Guillén’s final decision regarding the lawsuit, according to the background reported by Europa Press.
