The documents do describe Trevi as a “famous and popular pop star, and one of the most highly compensated female artists in Latin America”, while Andrade is said to be “one of the most successful music producers in Mexico”.In January, Trevi issued a statement in which she vehemently denied those allegations.“Being a victim of physical and sexual abuse is one of the worst things that can happen to a human being,” she wrote.
