After Jonathan Majors, another Marvel star has been accused of an assault by saxophonist and activist María Elena Ríos.
Saxophonist María Elena Ríos has been accused of sexual assault on Marvel star Tenoch Huerta, calling him a “sexual predator.” According to Ríos, she has distanced herself from the collective Poder Prieto and Huerta.
Huerta recently made his Marvel debut with the Black Panther sequel, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ playing the role of Namor.
Malena wrote on Twitter, “I made it very clear to them upon leaving their sect that protects the rapist and sexual predator @TenochHuerta that they should not publish anything about me. Yet they still came looking for me at a concert, a bunch of hypocrites, to avoid scandals surrounding their @MarvelLATAM movie.”
Ríos has not provided specific details about what happened with Huerta, some internet users directly asked her if she had been sexually assaulted, to which she responded affirmatively and added that she was not the only woman.
She revealed her discontent with Poder Prieto for publishing the podcast episode without her consent and payment.
In response, Poder Prieto denied the accusations of not paying Ríos for the podcast episode, stating that they could not pay for something that was not their production. They claimed that they only recommended the content and had not published it. However, they acknowledged Ríos’ complaint and stated that they would remove the material. “We are accused of not having paid her for this podcast. We cannot pay for something that is not our production. Furthermore, we did not publish it; we only recommended that content, as we do almost every day.

Tenoch Huerta Issues Statement on Instagram Story Regarding María Elena Ríos’s Accusation
Tenoch Huerta has released a statement in response to María Elena Ríos’s accusation on his Instagram Story.
A false and completely unsubstantiated accusation about me has spread like wildfire — and I cannot let it go unchallenged any longer.
About a year ago, I dated Elena for several months. It was entirely consensual at all times, as countless others can attest. And throughout, it was a loving, warm, and mutually supportive relationship. After it ended, however, Elena began to misrepresent our interactions, both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends.
As a result, a few months ago, I engaged a legal team to commence the appropriate actions to protect my reputation and refute these irresponsible and false accusations that can cause great prejudice and damage. Although I am by no means perfect, I know that these allegations are simply untrue. And while I will always work to improve myself, I need to contest claims that are both false and offensive.
I am deeply grateful to my family and the people who have supported me, and I greatly appreciate everyone who is willing to look at the facts and reflect before rushing to an untrue and unjust conclusion.
