Four years have passed since paparazzo Ernesto Zepeda captured Livia Brito with her partner at the time Mariano Rodríguez on vacation in Cancun in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic.
After photographing them, the couple reacted violently against the photographer, who suffered injuries all over his body. In addition, Livia and Mariano snatched Zepeda's work equipment.
The criticism against Livia did not wait, and grew when the actress denied having been in Cancun, when the images were clear: it was Livia enjoying the Caribbean in the middle of the pandemic.
There was so much chaos and noise generated by the videos that Brito had to accept that it was her. But the stoy did not end there. Zepeda sued and the 37-year-old actress, advised by her lawyers, offered “an apology” on her social networks, which was also noted by the public as not credible.
Zepeda did not stop there and continued with the process, as he demanded to be paid for the losses of his team and the physical damage they caused him.
Despite the low popularity of the actress born in Havana, Cuba, she continued to work and be a star in Televisa soap operas such as 'La Pilot' and 'Minas de Passion', and an ambassador for brands such as Levi's. For her, this scandal did not harm her financially like it did for Zepeda.
Although people thought differently, in 2022, the trial came out in favor of Brito, who at all times has defended that Zepeda invaded his privacy.
This triumph also caused Livia and her lawyers to send a warning to all media outlets: anyone who used her image to generate money would be sued.
In response to this measure by the actress, many media outlets stopped talking about her. Others even erased her name, face or distorted her voice.
Ernesto continued with the lawsuit and, this month, the judges ruled that Livia Brito must compensate Zepeda with a little more than one million Mexican pesos. He himself confirmed it this week in the morning newspaper 'Sale el Sol'.
“In the civil trial that took place in Mexico City, the judge determined in the second instance that the lady and her boyfriend must pay me,” the paparazzo revealed.
When journalist Joanna Vega-Biesto asked the entertainment photographer what he will do with the money, Zepeda said that although it sounds like a very large amount, in the end he must pay all the people who have lent him in order to survive.
However, that money has not yet reached Zepeta's wallet, since Brito took cover to try not to pay said amount and will continue with the process.
Although they have been difficult years, Zepeda does not wish Brito ill, on the contrary, he wants him to find peace and do well in life. "Good vibes, positive energy and positive energy," were the paparazzo's words.
"We all make mistakes, we all make mistakes. Personal learning is complicated. It has been four difficult and complicated years, I'm sure the lady didn't have a good time either, we have to shoulder our responsibilities," he added.
This case will still have something to talk about, but for now, the paparazzo feels calm because he believes that now justice will be on his side.
