The controversy surrounding Carmen Borrego deepens as her son and husband Paola Olmedo released a special merchandise line tied to their breakup. Semana magazine has chosen the feature, and the publication will hit newsstands tomorrow with the headline: I feel guilt for the harm done to Paola.
José María Almoguera and his former partner break their silence in a Semana interview after confirming that their marriage has ended. Without the full interview published, José María also reveals a fraught dynamic with his mother, Carmen Borrego, in one of the cover subheadings: I was disappointed when you sold our pregnancy.
We want to explain the reasons for the separation directly, not through third parties acting as intermediaries. They have anticipated that the public will hear their side, so they insist that the truth be stated openly and reject claims of a supposed medium speaking on their behalf, says José María in the magazine.
Yet the statements from José María do not stop there. He discusses his mother candidly: If my grandmother had not died, I would still not talk to my mother. The magazine notes that these words are not welcomed by Carmen or the rest of the family.
José María’s ex-wife Paola also speaks about her former mother-in-law. She says Carmen informed her own family about the pregnancy. If I had known this would come out, I would have spoken to them sooner, Paola adds.
Regarding whether Carmen was at home the day she visited her son before his departure for Survivors, Paola confirms she was there when he arrived. We greeted each other and I left to take my son to training. He can come to my house whenever he wants, but please do not bring the press.
Carmen Borrego’s daughter also weighs in
New disclosures emerged on TardeAR this Tuesday as Carmen’s daughter, Carmen Rosa Almoguera, was seen speaking by phone for an extended period outside a bar in the city center. The cousin of Alejandra Rubio appeared tense, moving the phone and gesturing as if discussing José María’s private conversation, likely with a sense of urgency and concern.
She remained cautious about speaking on camera about the accusations directed at her mother and José María and Paola. Yet she has made clear that she stands by Carmen and values her support during these difficult moments. It is anticipated she will address the topic further at the Survivors premiere on Thursday. I always support my mother, she says, and though I’m aware of the demands, I’m heading home in the car. Good evening, Carmen Almoguera adds, choosing silence on family privileges while still expressing love for her mother and a willingness to trust her in whatever may come next.
The full response from Carmen on her son’s private and troubling revelations remains uncertain. Acknowledging the tension, a program collaborator is expected to be present at the Survivors set on Thursday, where Jorge Javier will likely seek a complete account and questions may be asked about the family dynamics.
