For several days now, Fran Rivera's interview on ¡De friday! shook the heart press. Her statements about her mother's addiction and her divorce, as well as her relationship with Isabel Pantoja. However, tonight she sat down for the first time on a television set to talk about all those topics live.
The program's collaborators have taken the opportunity to ask him about his relationship with "the woman who married my father," as he refers to Isabel Pantoja. Beyond the problems that may have arisen since Paquirri's death, the bullfighter has confessed that his relationship with her “has never been good.”
The bullfighter has explained how complicated his relationship with Isabel Pantoja has been. “I had two faces, one when my father was there and another when he was not.” Furthermore, he added that “I think they are not good people,” especially for not having given him and his brothers the objects that Paquirri, his father, left them as an inheritance.
Something for which no one can find an explanation, although Fran Rivera has a theory about it: “My father died in love with my mother, I am 100% sure of that. So, to get revenge on my mother, he takes revenge on her children.”
It is not the first time that the bullfighter explains what he has suffered because of Isabel Pantoja, whose name he is not even able to say out loud. Apparently there was an occasion when he was able to ask her for those Paquirri items in person, but “I wasn't brave because I was afraid of my reaction if she said no.”
“It has hurt me a lot, it is that for a long time not having anything of me and my father squeezed my heart. Having something of his when he started bullfighting would have been very important for me,” the bullfighter confessed through tears.
Fran Rivera has revealed that there was an occasion when he spoke with his brother Kiko Rivera to be able to recover something from his father. But Isabel Pantoja's response was a resounding no, according to Kiko. “Brother, forget that he doesn't want to and that nothing is going to come of it.”
The bullfighter has confessed in Friday! that he does not understand why Isabel Pantoja “continues to err and get more and more stubborn and locked away. It seems that she enjoys causing harm, but she has had a thousand opportunities.” In fact, everything she has from her father “was given to us by some of my father's friends.”
