Luis de Llano has returned to the public eye after issuing a statement expressing his rejection of how his image will be used in the new series about Timbiriche, a production being prepared by the ViX platform that is set to premiere on October 9.
The producer's complaint gains relevance just ahead of the launch, a project that has generated anticipation for covering the history of the youth group, but also controversy for revisiting his relationship with Sasha Sokol, an episode that marked a turning point in both of their careers.
What Luis de Llano said about the Timbiriche series
Through an official statement, De Llano asserted that his legal representatives have already formally notified both ViX and the production company in charge of the project. The reason, as he explained, is the non-consensual use of his image for commercial purposes.
The producer was clear in stating that he will not continue to provide public statements on the matter. He affirmed that he will remain silent "until the ongoing legal process concludes," which suggests that the case could escalate to formal legal proceedings as the series moves toward its premiere.
The context: the previous complaint from Timbiriche members
Luis de Llano's stance comes just two days after the members of Timbiriche themselves issued a joint message where they also expressed their dissatisfaction with the ViX project.
Although the specific details of that statement have not been fully expanded upon publicly, its dissemination shows that the series has generated tensions not only with De Llano but also with part of the group's original cast, which adds pressure on the platform before the launch.
A story that continues to generate controversy
The relationship between Luis de Llano and Sasha Sokol has been, for years, one of the most discussed and questioned episodes within the history of Timbiriche. The fact that the new series revisits this point as a central part of its narrative seems to have reactivated the tension surrounding the subject.
With the premiere set for October 9 on ViX, the legal dispute announced by De Llano adds another chapter to the controversy surrounding the project, whose production is already facing questions from both the producer and members of the group before the public can even see it.
