The Spanish businessman Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera, known as Colate, launched a serious accusation against the singer Paulina Rubio by stating that she was a victim of beatings by the artist during her marriage.

“It was something that had never happened before, she is the mother of our son and I didn't want to put it in a report let alone make it public.” Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera
