What kind of torture suffers Angelo Garcia?

He reportedly stated as follows: “All I remember was that I, like, blacked out. I knew I had been entered since I was bleeding and completely naked when I awoke. “I had these burn marks from the rug on my face,” I was really perplexed and ignorant. While working for Svengali Edgardo Diaz, who was referred to as “their manager, producer, and father surrogate,” other members of the group, which had 32 different members during its first 20-year run, including Ricky Martin, also made allegations of sexual abuse, bullying, oppressive working conditions, and drug scandals.

Edgardo has always denied any improper behaviour or abuse

Additionally, Sergio remembered how the group “freaked out” after being exposed to narcotics by individuals in the vicinity. We once travelled to Colombia, he recalled. Ruben and I are travelling to the hotel together. We go into our room. All of a sudden, this unknown man enters. He then removes what must have been around a kilogramme of cocaine. We were alarmed since we had no prior knowledge of this guy. However, the man was a producer and publicist himself. Although Edgardo has consistently denied any impropriety or abuse in his management of the group, he did not reply to calls for comment on the documentary’s charges.
