# Sasha Sokol Faces Public Reckoning Amidst Timbiriche Reunion Speculation Former collaborators address past normalization of abuse while legal disputes with Luis de Llano continue. - **Source:** [Infobae](https://www.infobae.com) - **Published:** 2026-11-07 - **Topic:** [culture](https://brifing.si/c/culture) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/f553414a-0df0-45bf-b14f-f3a5c91115e5 ## Legal Dispute Over Apology Sasha Sokol rejected a public apology video from producer Luis de Llano, citing non-compliance with court-mandated text. The ruling, finalized by the Supreme Court in June 2025, required specific acknowledgments regarding her age of 14, power imbalances, and parental non-complicity. De Llano’s failure to follow these judicial protocols has triggered further controversy. ## Collaborators Offer Support Composer Memo Méndez Guiu publicly backed Sokol, emphasizing that her recovery takes precedence over any potential Timbiriche reunion. He stressed that the singer must decide her own timeline for returning to the stage. Guiu previously praised the 2025 civil sentence as a vital milestone for victims of childhood sexual violence. ## Normalization of Past Abuse Musician Kiko Campos admitted to failing to intervene during the relationship between Sokol and De Llano. He acknowledged that such dynamics were normalized within their artistic generation. Campos testified before the Prosecutor's Office at Sokol's request, identifying the producer's behavior as an exercise of power, now commonly recognized as grooming. ## Judicial History of Case The legal battle against De Llano reached a definitive stage in May 2023 when a civil court found him liable for moral damages. Following the confirmation by the Seventh Civil Chamber and the Supreme Court’s denial of his appeal in 2025, the producer faced two 15-hour administrative arrests for previous non-compliance. ## Timbiriche Reunion Uncertainties As the group approaches its 45th anniversary in 2027, fans anticipate a reunion, but no dates or members are confirmed. Guiu and other members, including Alix Bauer and Erik Rubín, have distanced themselves from recent unauthorized biographical series, criticizing the focus on painful personal episodes over the band's musical history. ## Industry Culture Critiques Kiko Campos highlighted that the environment surrounding Timbiriche included widespread substance use, which he claims was exaggerated in recent media portrayals. He expressed regret for his generation's collective silence, noting that many peers failed to question the power dynamics that allowed adult producers to exploit underage performers during that era. ## Sokol’s Ongoing Legal Strategy Beyond the civil moral damages case, Sokol has signaled an intent to pursue further legal action. While the civil judgment is settled, the current dispute centers on the improper execution of the court-ordered apology. No public information regarding a new criminal investigation file has been released following this latest episode. ## Prioritizing Personal Healing The discourse surrounding Timbiriche’s legacy remains overshadowed by the judicial pursuit of accountability. While industry figures like Guiu and Campos reflect on their past complicity, the focus remains on Sokol’s autonomy. Her ability to define her future, independent of the band’s commercial milestones, remains the central point of public concern. ## Sources covering this story - [Infobae — Memo Méndez Guiu Supports Sasha Sokol Amid Timbiriche Reunion Speculation](https://www.infobae.com/mexico/2026/11/07/memo-mendez-guiu-da-su-postura-sobre-el-caso-de-sasha-sokol-y-luis-de-llano-y-anticipa-si-habra-reencuentro-de-timbiriche/) - [El Financiero — Kiko Campos Apologizes for Normalizing Sasha Sokol and Luis de Llano Relationship](https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/espectaculos/2026/11/06/kiko-campos-productor-de-timbiriche-se-disculpa-con-sasha-sokol/) --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
