Evelyn, Damián Valdez-Galloso's aunt by marriage and accused of the second-degree murder of Cuban urban music singer José Manuel Carbajal, known as El Taiger, has sparked controversy once again by making strong statements against Teresa, the artist's former booking manager, and influencer Sachy Sánchez.
In her comments, Evelyn stated that both her nephew and El Taiger were "criminals," while criticizing the efforts to demand justice in the singer's murder case.
In a video circulating on social media, Evelyn argued that if the situation had been reversed, no one would be seeking justice for Damián and that everyone would be silent, protecting El Taiger.
These words ignited social media and prompted a strong response from Teresa, who used a comment on an Instagram post to express her stance.
“Ma'am, for heaven's sake, how are you going to defend your nephew?” Teresa began. The former manager pointed out that it was clear Damián was involved in criminal activities and added that, as an adult, Evelyn should have been aware of the "wrong paths" her nephew was taking.
Teresa also defended El Taiger, emphasizing that although the singer used drugs, that fact did not make him a criminal. Instead, she directly accused Damián of fueling that addiction by selling him illegal substances.
"I seek justice, YES! And justice will be what God wants it to be, not what you think I desire," Teresa wrote, making it clear that she is not seeking revenge, but rather that the truth be revealed and that Damián's actions do not go unpunished.
Teresa also took the opportunity to emphasize that she is not only seeking justice for the murder of El Taiger, but also for the lives that, she claims, were impacted by Damián's alleged illegal activities, including drug trafficking and the exploitation of minors.
"Madam, for God's sake, how are you going to defend your nephew? I assume you were aware that your nephew was a criminal. I suppose that, as an older person with life experience, you know he has been on the wrong path for quite some time (as we have observed). So, do you believe he should ever have to pay for all his mistakes?"
Not only that: José was using drugs, and that is an illness that his nephew exacerbated every day by selling them to him. That, ma'am, does not mean that José was a criminal! And to clarify something for you, I demand justice, YES! And justice will be what God wants it to be, not what you think I desire.
I do not wish harm to anyone; that hatred does not reside in my heart. But yes, I will fight for justice! Not only for what was done to José, but also for all the lives that were harmed in one way or another by selling drugs, abusing minors, and many more things that have come to light.
"Please, do not address me or mention my name again. If you want to save your nephew's life, ask God for it," Teresa wrote.
Evelyn is no stranger to controversies. Last month, she also took to social media to dismiss the petition led by Teresa calling for a fair trial. On that occasion, she claimed that the signatures would "be of no use."
The case of Damián Valdez-Galloso and the death of El Taiger continues to cause shock and division within the Cuban community, where many are calling for justice while others defend the presumption of innocence for the accused.
