Fran Rivera has given an interview on ¡De friday! In which she has openly spoken about her family relationships. Especially what her mother was like and how her death affected the family in general. "It was horrible".
The bullfighter has spoken openly for the first time about the addiction of his mother, Carmen Ordóñez, to sleeping pills and how the media coverage of her death affected his grief. In addition to how much he would have liked her to meet his grandchildren. “What a shame because she has been left with so many things to live and for me to live with her.”
According to Fran Rivera, “my mother began with a diction to sleeping pills when my grandmother died.” The bullfighter experienced his mother's addiction very closely to him and that is why he has confessed that the first thing he did was to help his daughter Cayetana. “I told him anything but drugs.”
In fact, Rivera explained with emotion that his mother “died because of drugs. First you have to accept that you have a problem, but I understand that it is very difficult to get out of there and she didn't get out. I miss her very much, but, since my mother was there last time, no, I prefer that she be gone.”
In his interview he said that he remembers the day of his mother's death “as if it were yesterday. He called me a close friend and I saw it crystal clear. He is already there, my mother has died.” However, she explained that not only “the event was terrible,” but also the media coverage. “That time of the press was very hard. “There was no respect for anything.”
