Gloria Trevi faced a legal battle in California against her former producer and representative, Sergio Andrade, alleging serious abuse. The case brings to light decades of troubling allegations the artist has described as sexual abuse and other forms of harm.
The Mexican singer filed the suit in California on December 27, detailing a history of harassment that she says spans many years. Trevi describes physical and psychological abuse linked to Andrade, and she even references moments that led to thoughts of taking her own life. The testimony aims to document the harm she endured while under Andrade’s influence and control over her career.
Trevi explains that their professional and personal connections began when she was very young, and she portrays Andrade as someone who dictated her path in the music industry. She alleges manipulation and abuse that shaped her life and work for an extended period.
Trevi’s account of the lawsuit highlights core elements of the legal action, as outlined in a countersuit reported by Billboard. The case is part of a broader set of claims surrounding Andrade and the operations he ran, which Trevi says allowed misconduct to persist over time.

The artist seeks monetary compensation for the abuse she says she suffered, and if Andrade is found guilty, she also seeks redress from others she alleges were involved in enabling or enabling the conduct. The legal filing names several plaintiffs who have chosen to remain anonymous in the public record, identified only by pseudonyms such as Jane Doe AH, Jane Doe KC, and Jane Roe JP. Trevi indicates that while she does not know Andrade’s real identity, she believes that the people identified as AH and KC played a role in the alleged exploitation.

The ongoing legal action follows prior lawsuits associated with Andrade and his associates. Portillo, often referred to as Raquenel Portillo or Mary Boquitas, along with Andrade himself, were named in earlier claims brought by Jane Doe in early 2023. The lawsuits allege that these individuals operated a supposedly educational environment described as a “music school,” where young women faced repeated mistreatment during their formative years.
Trevi acknowledges Portillo as another survivor of the alleged abuse, noting that Portillo was closely connected to Andrade and describing how power dynamics and manipulation contributed to harm. The filing details how Andrade used a management company to oversee business matters in order to shield and mask the abusive behavior, with Trevi specifically alleging that she experienced sexual harassment within the state of California in the United States.
The narrative presented in the lawsuit emphasizes the need for accountability and transparency around those who were in positions of influence. Trevi’s account highlights the importance of safeguarding vulnerable artists from manipulation and abuse, particularly when power imbalances are involved in the entertainment industry.
