The too-wild-to-believe story of how Mexico’s queen of pop became involved in a sex cult
In 2000, an international manhunt was underway for Mexican superstar Gloria Trevi, her manager Sergio Andrade, and the young girls in their entourage. They had gone on the run after Trevi and Andrade were accused of the abuse and rape of the girls in their care. How had a superstar gotten involved in a sex cult with nearly a dozen teenage girls?
Andrade founded a performing arts school that plucked young girls out of obscurity and promised to cultivate them into stars. His first recruit was Gloria Trevi. For many girls and their parents, the opportunity was too tempting to pass up. When a known hitmaker and Mexico’s most famous singer promised they could leave their hard life behind, how could they say no? But already, whispers of abuse had been circulating, and finally, the allegations caught up to them—resulting in a two-year, international chase for the pair and the girls they had taken with them. Finally apprehended in Brazil and imprisoned there, Gloria and Sergio still had tricks up their sleeves.
In this hair-raising, masterful investigation, bestselling author and journalist Christopher McDougall uncovers the dark secrets of the “supreme diva of Mexican pop” and her mercurial manager, catching us up on this remarkable case and the civil suit that has recently been brought against them in Los Angeles. Starstruck is an eye-opening story about the allure of fame and the corrupting influence of power.
