This week the controversy arose when she learned through a video that the protagonist of the documentary 'The Mountain Footh', the trans peasant woman María Luisa Fuentes, was allegedly scammed by her former romantic partner. 'Miss Maria', indicated that Richards Varela, through deception, had taken away her property in Boavita, Boyacá.
Richards Varela responded to this, who indicated to the radio station La W, the full intention of returning the land to Maria, also assured that it was not a scam, but that 'Miss María, made that decision personally: “She decided to put the land of Boavita in my name because she trusted me, but I am not refusing to give him his land back and I have shown his face,” Varela commented.
In his statements, Varela states that he never intended to deceive Maria's good faith and that their inconveniences were mere couple problems, but instead he denounced two women who, according to him, would be responsible for the current situation of the protagonist of 'The Mountain Footh'.
“The deception comes from Diana Navarro and Yudy Vega to denounce Richard through the Government of Boyacá... Maria pawned her land for $8 million and came to Bogotá and this lady Navarro and Yudy put her in a hostel, lie she stays in a hotel near the airport... When they saw that Maria ran out of money, there if they threw her into the street and I no longer had communication with Maria because of so much defamation I moved away from her,” said Richards Varela.
He also indicated that the decision to end the relationship was due to personal problems presented between the two, but not because of taking away the land of Boyacá from Maria: “I separated from Maria for adverse reasons because I didn't have a job there, and I said I'm going to come to work in Bogotá, and Maria was infatuated because I came to Bogotá.”
Finally, she pointed out again her intention to return the land if Maria so requests, and indicated that this was a voluntary gift that she had given her: “If she wants them to make the transfer to her, I have no problem and I am there to give her the transfer, but if she wants because she tells me: I gave it to her because I gave it to her with darling”.
In 2018, a year after her story became recognized, 'Señorita Maria' confessed to Caracol Televisión's gossip show that she had finally found love in the arms of the designer, who assured that the next step she would take with María Luisa Fuentes Burgos would be marriage.
However, the love story took other directions when the designer deceived the woman into taking away her property amid the ingenuity and ignorance of legal proceedings, and the only wish that Maria Luisa Fuentes has is that he give her land back to her.
“To give me back my deed, that guy deceived me... he told me 'do the favor and sign here', I signed him, and then he told me we go to the notary office, the reality for me was a deception that that character did to me because he told me 'do the deed to me to buy his apartment' and the reality is that I let myself believe”, 'Miss Maria' said to 'The Network'.
“About 8 days ago I went to him and told him that I was going to make that claim, why he does this to me, to which he said 'Ay Maria, I'm going to call the police', then I answered: 'You know what Richards, call her'... and there he called the couple he has now and between them they laid me to the ground, they took me out to the street, dragged like a dog,” the woman said.
