The actor has previously denied the claims made by musician and activist María Elena Ríos, which she shared on social media.
“It is with great sadness that I do this, but I cannot allow her actions to harm not only me, but also the work of dozens of talented and hard-working people involved in the project,” the statement continued. “My focus now is simple: continue the process of restoring my reputation.”
Filmmaker Manolo Caro is directing the feature, with Huerta announced last month as its star. It was filming this month in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and Katima Mulilo, Namibia for a 2024 release. According to Netflix, it centers on “Tochtli, a boy who likes hats, dictionaries, samurais, guillotines, and the French. And now, all he wants is a new animal for his private zoo: a Namibian pygmy hippo.
Earlier this month, Ríos accused the actor of being a “sexual predator” in a post shared on social media and said he had sexually assaulted her. She wrote, “It’s very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and the abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved around the world for playing a character in a movie such as Tenoch Huerta.”
