The common denominator between the Menéndez brothers and one Menudo band member is a grievous one.
In 1996, Lyle and Erik Menéndez were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of their parents, José and Kitty Menéndez. Throughout the sensationalized televised trial, the Beverly Hills brothers alleged that their father Jose had subjected them to years of sexual abuse, which motivated the murders. The prosecution maintained a firm argument that the boys killed José and Kitty for mere financial gain.
Now, three decades later, Peacock’s new three-part docuseries “Menéndez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed” reveals Roy Rosselló’s corroborating claim that he was also sexually abused by the former RCA executive and father of the Menéndez brothers José Menendez.

Two sensational stories collide in Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed, a new three-part documentary series airing on Peacock. One helped bring the culture into the era of nonstop TV crime and jurisprudence coverage: the grisly 1989 murder of Jose and Kitty Menendez by their sons, Erik and Lyle. The other involves the former Puerto Rican boy band sensation Menudo, and longstanding accusations of sexual abuse against the group’s Svengali and manager, Edgardo Díaz. The Menendez brothers, currently serving life in prison, have always maintained that their father raped them from the time they were small children.

Before there was New Kids on the Block and New Edition, Latin boy band Menudo was dominating the global stage with its bubble-gum pop sound and youthful vibrancy. Behind the scenes, however, everything was not as perfect as it seemed.
In the HBO Max documentary Menudo: Forever Young, filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto and Kristofer Ríos chronicle the rise and fall of the group — from cementing the band’s place in pop culture history to revealing never-before-heard allegations of abuse against founder Edgardo Diaz by various members.
More than 40 members of Menudo participated in the four-part doc, all of who were pre-teens or teens when they joined and eventually replaced after they hit puberty. With their parents’ permission — which included signing over parental rights to Diaz — the boys set off in search of fortune and fame with varying results.
“What we realized going into this is that Menudo is iconic, not just for Puerto Ricans, but for the LatinX community as a whole. And we knew it was gonna be really tricky to both celebrate, but also reveal these things that people had known but didn’t really dig into,” Rios said during a panel discussion at Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted. “The foundational principle for us was that both of these things can be true.”
He added: “This can be a band that is so near and dear to us in our hearts, but some ugly things can happen behind the scenes. And that’s worth exploring because we felt we really needed to understand the price these boys, now men, paid.”

Allegations of physical, mental and sexual abuse had previously been made by former members against Diaz, and some of them played out in the media. Diaz has always maintained his innocence and has never faced charges in connection to those allegations.
The documentary has the most members of Menudo speaking out about their experiences to date.
“Their experiences haven’t always been bubble gum though it’s often portrayed as such, so it was important to us be delicate with their darkest moments. But also, we didn’t want to end on that note because since the ’90s the idea of Menudo disappeared or it was tarnished,” Soto said. “Thirty years later, these are the kids that we admired growing up and they’re still very much alive and doing great things. [We made this] with the idea of redemption and being able to to talk about past traumas and heal from it and grow in this constant process of deconstructing ourselves.
“We wanted to end it on the note of those kids are still out there, they still inspire us and their stories help us heal like many of them were able to do. It was a very collaborative healing process between us the filmmakers and the band.”

HBO Max will release Menudo: Forever Young, a new documentary about the Latin American boy band from filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) and Kristofer Ríos (Havana Skate Days), on June 23. The premiere will follow the project’s debut at the 2022 Tribeca Festival on June 11.
Menudo was formed by producer Edgardo Diaz in 1977 with 5 original members: Ricky Melendez, brothers Carlos and Oscar Meléndez, and the Sallaberry brothers, Fernando and Nefty. The group changed members often mostly after the pre-teen and early teenage boys aged out around age 15 or 16. Two of its most famous members include Ricky Martin and Draco Rosa (as Robbi Rosa).
Diaz, who served as the band’s manager, was accused of sexual abuse by multiple members beginning in 1991. He denied the allegations that same year on El Show De Cristina, a popular talk show at the time hosted by Cristina Saralegui.

Elvis Costello doesn’t speak Spanish, but on at least one occasion, he’s dreamt in it.
Back in 2018, the television writer David Simon had reached out to him about transforming “This Year’s Girl,” the prickling cut from his pivotal 1978 LP This Year’s Model, into a duet for the second season of The Deuce. The thought of reworking a classic might have unnerved a less adventurous artist, but Costello, ever the shapeshifter, was intrigued.

Puerto Rican rocker Draco Rosa has dropped a striking new version of his 2013 song, “Quiero Vivir.” It is his first release since his Latin Grammy-winning 2018 album, Monte Sagrado.
“Quiero Vivir” was inspired by the poem “Tengo Ojos,” by the Mexican poet Jaime Sabines. “La vida con dios, una copa de luz/Tu y yo mas allá, mas allá del amor,” sings Rosa, with a dusky timbre: “Life with God, a cup of light / You and I beyond, beyond love.” Rosa’s folk-rock cool is heightened by dramatic orchestral arrangements; yet beneath the grandiose production,...

Released May 11th, 1999, Ricky Martin would sell nearly ten million copies worldwide within its first month.

J Balvin, the Colombian reggaeton star, was nominated for more awards than any other artist at the Latin Grammys on Thursday. In two separate categories, Record of the Year and Best Urban Song, he was even nominated multiple times. He deserves the attention: Behind Ozuna, he’s the second most-watched singer on the planet (thanks to his mind-bogglingly large audience on YouTube), with an intuitive grasp of melody and an already-long list of eminently hummable hooks; his Vibras album was handsome and tightly knit, but also strong enough on a...

Draco Rosa’s first studio album in five years opens in some confusion, salted with dark humor. The singer is one of the biggest and most notorious stars in modern Latin music. But when he walks into “Hotel de los Encuentros,” he gets the cold shoulder at the registration desk. The voices in charge are barely human — women with the frosty, mechanical sensuality of Alexa, the virtual assistant in your Amazon Echo speaker. They get Rosa’s name wrong and almost send him away before handing over the key to “333” — a room and song that,...

My apologies to our readers for this story even appearing on the site. This was done without my approval or supervision. This is the first and last time William Levy will Ever be mentioned on Latino Review ever again. Univision telenovela famewhore William Levy who famously passed on the Alex Rodriguez part in Magic Mike, wasted Steven Soderbergh’s time (Wme dropped Levy as client shortly thereafter), and chose to be a reality show loser on Dancing With The Stars instead apparently got a job in Jada’s Salsa movie. They tried this Latin minstrel show of a movie 20 years ago with Robi Rosa, nobody saw it. They tried again with Chayenne a decade later, guess what? Nobody saw that one either. Trust me no one will see this one. There is a reason this guy is unsigned by the major agencies in Hollywood. A pretty boy no talent famewhore.
