The brother of ray reyesone of the members of the third generation of Menudo and who died in 2021, was invited to the Telemundo program to tell details about the new Peacock series, ‘Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed’, which unites one of the most criminal cases celebrities in the United States, with accusations of sexual abuse by a former member of the ‘boyband’.
Raúl Reyes knew both Edgardo Díaz, the band’s manager, and José Menéndez, who was murdered along with his wife by their sons Lyle and Erik in 1996, and was the CEO of the RCA record company at the time Menudo was active.
The singer also revealed that his brother told him that they sometimes made inappropriate comments and sexual insinuations, for example, “how will you know you don’t like it if you haven’t tried it” during his time in the band.
In addition, he recounted how unusual the entry of Roy Roselló was made, since he did not have to do any casting to be part of the group. In addition, he mentioned that Edgardo Díaz was always with him and always stayed with him during his trips.
He also said that his father was the main reason why Ray was only two years in Menudo, because he brought food to the boys in the band and stopped everything when they spent too many hours working, so it became a problem for the production. In addition, he assured that his sister was physically assaulted by Díaz and that on one occasion he responded to her.
‘Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed’ explores the possibility that two apparently unrelated cases could have more in common than anyone would think. Well, through the testimony of Roy Roselló, who assures that both Edgardo Díaz and José Menéndez sexually assaulted him, it seeks to prove that the allegations of Lyle and Erik, who said that they murdered their parents for suffering abuse for years, could be substantiated. .
