Laura Zapata prepares legal action against Kunno for comments in La Casa de los Famosos 6: what is recorded

MARGENEZ publishes this text as information coverage of a media controversy and Possible legal actions in Mexico. It does not adopt the statements of the influencer Kunno nor does it re-investigate the 2002 kidnapping; summarizes what appears in verified media sources and attributable statements.

Laura Zapata — Mexican actress, sister of Thalía and recent participant of La Casa de los Famosos 6 (Telemundo) — faces a controversy with the influencer Kunno for comments he made at a reality show at the end of March 2026. According to Infobae, Milenio and El Imparcial, its legal team analyzes actions for moral damage and defamation.

What Kunno said (according to the media) and how Zapata responded

Several reports reproduce that, during the transmission, Kunno referred to Laura Zapata with the expression "self-kidnappings" in reference to the kidnapping that the actress and her sister Ernestina Sodi suffered in 2002. Infobae cites a fragment attributed to the influencer:

«Thalía's sister, “self-kidnappings”… That is, after the unfortunate comments she made yesterday, "She still goes and throws metal at Divo but nothing happens because she is an elderly woman."

MARGENEZ does not verify the accuracy of that quote nor classify it as fact; it reproduces it because it is the origin public of the controversy and because the actress herself and her lawyers mentioned it as a cause of discomfort. Kunno linked the comment to a previous confrontation between Zapata and the singer El Divo within the same program.

In April 2026, according to Milenio, Zapata confronted Kunno minutes before another gala and told him, among other things: "You were born in 2000 and I was kidnapped in 2002." In interview collected by Infobae, the actress rated the influencer's comment as a "very serious mistake" for "accusing me of being kidnapped, a legal situation that is definitely solved many years ago.

Legal procedures: what the lawyers confirmed

The lawyer Alfredo Rentería told the media, according to Infobae and Milenio, that «the legal procedures have already begun "necessary" for moral damage and defamation. Rentería cited a precedent: Zapata won a lawsuit against Manuel Ávila Camacho, who in 2006 claimed that she had planned her own kidnapping, according to Univision.

At the beginning of July 2026, Zapata published a photograph on social networks with the lawyer Mariana Gutiérrez, which media such as El Imparcial interpreted it as a sign that The file progresses. The same medium specified on July 5 that, until that date, there was no lawsuit filed in court and that the process was still in the analysis phase.

On July 9, Telemundo published that The actress confirmed that she had initiated legal action and that Kunno "will not be the only defendant." MARGENEZ did not locate the number of file or public judicial order at the closing of this note.

Regarding the tension within the reality show, Telemundo Entertainment published a clip on YouTube titled «Are Laura Zapata and Kunno ending their friendship?» (watch on YouTube).

Brief context of the 2002 kidnapping (documented fact)

To understand why Kunno's comment generated a reaction, it is worth remembering — only with public data and without reopening family speculation — that on September 22, 2002 Laura Zapata and Ernestina Sodi were kidnapped at leaving a theater in Mexico City, according to historical coverage by Univision and other Mexican media. Laura was released after about 18 days; Ernestina remained in captivity the longest. Mexican authorities prosecuted members of the criminal group linked to the case.

Over the years there were private and public disputes within the family over details of the kidnapping — including the book Deliver us from evil by Ernestina Sodi —, but this article does not evaluate those versions. He only mentions them because they explain why accusations similar to those attributed to Kunno were already the subject of previous litigation in which Zapata sought to clear her name, according to Univision.

Why can a media report this?

Report on statements made on an open television program, on legal procedures announced by lawyers and on A widely documented kidnapping more than two decades ago falls into the realm of public interest and chronicles informative, provided that the report:

• Attribute the accusations to the person who made them, without presenting them as truth.
• Distinguish confirmed judicial facts from intentions or ongoing procedures.
• Provide context and the affected party's response.

That does not prevent a person from bringing lawsuits for defamation or moral damage; nor does it guarantee that a court will favor journalists or the actress. MARGENEZ will update this note if there is a verifiable judicial resolution or formal response from Kunno.

Until July 5, 2026, El Imparcial noted that Kunno had not responded publicly about the possible lawsuit.
