Enrique Guzmán’s disgusting statements at the press conference for the show La Caravana del Rock and Roll also brought the reaction of into focus Angélica María, who was at his side even though she seemed dissatisfied They criticized him for later patting him on the shoulder without making a strong statement about the nature of his words.
This is not the first time that the singer has put his colleagues in uncomfortable situations due to his scandals and controversial outbursts. This happened several times to the “Bride of Mexico,” with whom he had a famous love affair in his youth.
For example, in 2018, when Guzmán made homophobic comments on the show against host Quique Galdeano and silenced Angélica María for talking about her affection for the LGBTTTIQ+ community, thus ending the interview. As if that wasn’t enough, the singer had to face the press, apologize to her partner for the incident and use it to apply for a tour.
And he did it again on November 14th. Before his anomalous statements on the accusations he faces for alleged abuse of a minor, Guzmán mocked Angélica María by reminding her of her fall in the National Auditorium six months ago, an accident that endangered the physical integrity of the actress. She improvised quickly and humorously to divert the focus from the aggression.
The actress maintains a good professional relationship with Guzmán, a man she has known for more than six decades. But for an artist who knows nothing about scandals and refuses to speak ill of those who have hurt her, this is undoubtedly confirmation that she could have been living in hell if she had been this womanizing, unfaithful and partying would have married a young man who has since been accused of explosive domestic violence, sexist attitudes and alleged abuse of minors.

The marriage that couldn’t be
Angélica María and Enrique Guzmán were the young couple of the moment in the early 1960s. More specifically, in 1961, when she was just 17 years old, a year younger than him. But age was related to the different stages of life one lived through. While Angélica was quiet, naive and committed to the family values taught to her by producer Angélica Ortiz, her mother, He already carried his bad reputation with him.
In order to make a good impression and keep his public image impeccable, Guzmán maintained a quiet relationship with Angélica María, who considered it normal in her idea of love that, as young as they were, they had a love affair with few kisses, holding hands, etc They would enjoy no lack of control, as they also had a musical career to take care of. That’s it, apparently. Behind this noble romance, the singer maintained secret and temporary affairs with various women, including actresses, dancers and fans.
Rumors about his infidelity came and went. The actress ignored them because she believed they were lies out of envy or because someone wanted to promote her musical advancement. Ignoring them didn’t help much. Little by little, the stories of Guzmán’s adventures became more and more consistent.
This information reached the ears of Angélica Ortiz, who intervened to convince her daughter that this relationship was not suitable for her. Angélica María confirmed that her mother was right when she found out that she was cheated on not by one but by several women.
“My mother said to me, ‘Oh, little girl, leave it. You won’t do what they do to them. Leave it.’ And yes, I left him,” he told Maxine Woodside.
Although she confirmed the infidelity, the “Bride of Mexico” forgave him and returned to his arms. There were three years of “breakdowns” in reconciliations because Guzmán assured him that what he saw and heard was not true. The excuses ended when his affair with actress Begoña Palacios became known. So she decided not to go to the altar. At this point, they already had wedding plans.
“It was a very childlike love, with a hot hand. I had other types of valves that I had to do differently. So other types of women in my life lived a lot.” It was an illusion, I think. “We should have gotten married” Enrique Guzmán shared with Telemundo in 2018 for the show Suelta la sopa.
In addition to becoming aware of the deceptions behind her back, Angélica María had another reason to give up the marriage: her mother’s wisdom. Was Angélica Ortiz, who was responsible for making it clear to him that he had a successful future as an artist, that he still had a lot to learn and enjoy in his youth, and that a man like her boyfriend would not be a good match for her development.
“(Angélica María) didn’t want to. Well, his mother told him that he was still very young, so he should think. His mother was the one who washed his coconut. Guzmán said in an interview with Telemundo.
Angélica Ortiz’s wise advice allowed her to develop in many ways as an actress, singer and woman. Later she found out again about the infidelity with Raúl Vale, but did not become a victim of violence or aggression like Silvia Pinal. Without having imagined it at this time, he was also freed from painful passages like those the singer created for himself and the people around him.
