The recent documentary series “El show: crónica de un asesinato” has surprised by the journalistic investigation behind it, the unpublished archival footage and the list of interviewees, including officials, politicians, celebrities and other stakeholders, who talk about how they discovered the murder of the family have experienced Conductor Paco Stanley in 1999.
But among these testimonials is that of Alan Bezares, son of Mario Bezares and Brenda Bezaresthis is just a baby was the subject of a rumor that came out of Stanley’s mouth and haunted him for years. “This is the first time I’m speaking about it. This interview poses a problem for me that I have never faced in my life. a lie repeated so many times that it became the truth“said the young man in front of the camera of Diego Enrique Osorno, director of the documentary.
The lie originated during a broadcast of Una tras otra on February 11, 1999, Mario’s birthday. That day, Brenda and little Alan went to the TV Azteca forum, where they recorded the show to surprise him, and the driver who saw them dared to say live that his colleague’s son was his.

A video of this moment can be found on YouTube and Stanley can be heard saying, “There’s my son…” before seeing Bezares pick up the boy and place him between the two. “Check, honestly, check how he looks, what does he look like?”
Months later, authorities used this “joke” to investigate the driver’s murder, claiming that Brenda had been unfaithful to her husband’s boss and that Mario acted in revenge.
Jorge Gil, another partner in the program, Samuel del Villar – then prosecutor – and an entertainment magazine stuck to the rumor.
Alan, who is now a music producer, assures that he had to fight against various and numerous allegations that identified him as the reason for the disagreements between Paco Stanley and Mario Bezares. As a kid, they told him that his bad behavior was because he didn’t have “his real dad” by his side.

“When I was annoyed, they said to me, ‘Ah, you’re angry because your father is not your father.’ And when you go to Google as a kid to do some research (…), as a kid you stay up at the crack of dawn “Reading everything, everything you can find. It’s like grabbing your heart and (stabbing it): Who is my family?” he said.
“You’re not Mario Bezares’ son.” Your father killed him for that very reason.’ You know the guilt that comes over an 11-year-old boy, maybe 10 years old, when he knows that “because of you” your father was accused of murder? Alan Bezares
The content creator also confessed that after reading so many crazy theories, he confronted his parents for allegedly hiding the truth from him and even doubting Mario’s innocence. “The morbidity and the people put a filter on me, they put a burden on me that is not even mine. Assuming that I’m not this man’s son and that my mother is not a slut. I wouldn’t change my parents for anything in the world. Never.
It was in 2001 that the couple publicly dealt with the rumor by revealing the DNA tests that showed Alan is their son, somehow closing the chapter of slander. “We wanted to make the analyzes public, out of love for my son, it was a debt we owed him because not only did they offend us as parents, they also offended my little Alan,” Brenda said on the occasion.
As a result of the documentary series, the actress also uploaded a photo of these tests to her Instagram account. “I’m not trying to convince anyone, just that I now have the laws on my side to protect my loved ones and like yesterday I will defend the unjust.”
“I couldn’t defend a baby then who didn’t owe or fear it, who, like me and many of us, was the victim of a great injustice. At that moment, the most important thing was my husband’s freedom and today I am simple. “I want us to leave it alone, we have suffered enough and gone through unimaginable things,” reads a short text.
Brenda Bezares also published a book called Too Strong, in which she revealed that she was sexually harassed by Stanley and how uncomfortable she felt when she was with the driver.
In this documentary, he revealed that he had always denied the existence of the duo. “I didn’t like what they were doing, I didn’t agree with a lot of things, including working with him. My relationship with Paco wasn’t bad, but he didn’t take me with him, for the simple reason that he shouldn’t be bullied.” “He’s someone who makes people laugh,” he admitted.
