Olga Wornat fears that Gerardo Fernández will harm her and assured that she has links with organized crime

When the bioseries El último rey: el hijo del pueblo was announced, the alarms of the Fernández family went off, because in turn, they had been preparing the production of a series, but made by Caracol TV and Netflix, which will be the official version of the singer's life, in which even he reached collaborate to nurture the script.

As days went by, it was confirmed that Televisa would be the producer of the project headed by Juan Osorio, which stars Pablo Montero. But what ended up bothering the Fernández Abaracs is that the plot of the series is based on the controversial book of the same name by journalist Olga Wornat.

And it is that in the published material, some scabrous aspects of the life of the charro and his family come out. These passages, according to the author, are true and can be based on the multiple interviews she collected for the book.

Despite the intention of Cuquita and the family to stop the series, it was broadcast in prime time: there were ten episodes that focused on telling the traumatic episode when Vicente Fernández Jr. was kidnapped in 1998.

Now, with the end of the broadcast of the first season of the series, Olga Wornat says she is calm and unafraid of the demands that her work might generate. The journalist again mentioned Gerardo Fernández Jr., whom she points out as the main person interested in stopping the Televisa series.

“I defend freedom of expression and the freedom of journalists to work quietly, without being disturbed, in addition to the right of audiences and readers to decide what to read and what to watch... I hope there will be many series, many books, and that no one feels threatened or afraid that they can be sued, now for a brand,” the journalist told TVyNovelas.

Wornat had already stated that he received threats from people sent by Vicente Fernández's youngest son, and now he also invited him not to “hide” behind his mother, because according to the journalist, Cuquita acted on the advice of Gerardo Fernández to try to bring down the transmission of The Last King: The Son of the People.

“He abused me on the phone, but he is a very unpleasant guy and with that he confirmed everything they had told me about him, his bad manners, his arrogance. His father wasn't like that, his father was kind. And it's not that he tells you anything, but that someone comes and says 'Be careful because Gerardo is very dangerous'. They tell you not once, they are repeating it to you and not only the family, people from all over Guadalajara. I'm just saying that he shows his face, that he doesn't hide behind the figure of his mother,” said the Argentinian.

The author made a comparison between the characters of Gerardo Fernández and his late father, and found that they are very different, and reiterated that she knows that the youngest son of the Fernández would have links to organized crime.

Olga wishes Gerardo to appear publicly or confront her, although she admitted a grim possibility: “If something happens to me, he is the culprit, that simple. I know about his murky relations (with organized crime) of course, all of Guadalajara knows it: his business with powerful people. In addition, when Vicente died, many people got tired of these things and talk; what's more, there is sensitive information that is not in the book, but if I have to use it, I'm going to do it, so don't play with me,” said the journalist.
