Marvel star Tenoch Huerta accused of sexual assault by musician María Elena Ríos

Musician María Elena Ríos has accused “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star Tenoch Huerta of sexual assault. “And while I will always work to improve myself, I need to contest claims that are both false and offensive.” Ríos leveled the allegations this week after an activist organization based in Mexico, Poder Prieto, shared on social media an episode of the podcast “El Feisbuk de la Malinche” featuring Ríos. Ríos promptly replied by accusing Poder Prieto of protecting Huerta, whom she called a “sexual predator.” She added that she made it “very clear” to Poder Prieto upon leaving the organization that it did not have her permission to publish anything involving her. Ríos also used the social media site to explain why she didn’t speak out sooner, calling Mexico “machista” and citing a culture of injustice and violence against women.
