4 companies control 55% to 85% of the meat market.

4 airlines control 80% of air travel.

3 companies control 92% of the soda market.

No, actually, sir, I believe this form of extortion is known as "graymail." It's much nicer than blackmail.

It started with a voice mail demanding payment of some kind, then a series of missed phone calls, later came the gun shots targeting the home of a Metro Vancouver business owner whose family and community are now gripped with fear. The businessman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the original message demanded a payment, “otherwise there would be consequences,” he said. At first, it seemed like a “prank” of some kind, and he didn’t take the calls seriously, but he called the would-be extortionists back.

Christián Chávez, Mexican actor and singer who was extorted with his sexuality.

First of all I apologize if my English is not that good, because although I understand the language it is not because I have studied it, it is because of all the fics I have read lol

Christian Chávez is a Mexican singer and actor known for his participation in the successful television series "Rebelde" and for being a member of the musical group RBD. If you are not from Latin America, it is certain that you do not know them, but RBD is one of the most important groups in Latin pop culture in the 2000s despite its short transition in the music scene, said cultural phenomenon that led to the soap opera "Rebelde".

Christian Chávez rose to fame in 2004 when he played the role of "Giovanni Méndez López" in the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde." The soap opera became an international phenomenon and spawned the musical group RBD, in which Chávez played an important role as a vocalist. RBD became a very successful group in Latin America and other parts of the world, releasing numerous albums and popular singles.

"Rebelde" influenced the fashion and style of the youth of the time. Characters in the series had distinctive fashion styles that fans would want to emulate, from clothing to makeup. The aesthetics of "Rebelde" became a fashion reference in many places. The series and its music also influenced Education: The series addressed topics relevant to young people, such as friendship, love, rebellion and the challenges of adolescence. Additionally, he promoted the importance of education. The use of school uniforms in the plot also influenced the way fashion and education were perceived in some places.

We return to 2023, the year in which Christián Chávez, together with his RBD colleagues, will return to the stage, thanks to the extensive concert tour that the group announced a few months ago. For Chávez it will be a special moment, well, if it will be the first to do it as himself.

For years, the singer filled stadiums as part of the popular band, however, he could never truly feel free, since, at that time, he kept his sexual orientation private. But in 2007 he was forced to come out of the closet, after some photographs of his wedding were leaked, it is one of the lowest moments on Mexican television. But before telling you about the terrifying experience that Chávez experienced, I give you context of the story:

RBD, the musical group that was formed from the successful telenovela "Rebelde," had a close relationship with Televisa, the media company that produced the series. Here is a summary of the history of RBD and its relationship with Televisa:

Formation of RBD: RBD originated as part of the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde", which aired from 2004 to 2006. The soap opera was produced by Televisa and followed the story of a group of young students at an elite school. The actors who played the main characters in the series also formed the musical group RBD.

International Success: RBD quickly became an international phenomenon. The group's music, which combined pop and Latin music, attracted a wide Spanish-speaking audience around the world. Their albums, singles, and concert tours were hugely successful, and they became one of the most popular pop bands in Latin America.

Relationship with Televisa: During RBD's years of success, the group maintained a close relationship with Televisa. The company promoted the group's music and projects through its media platform, which contributed significantly to RBD's popularity.

Televisa, officially known as Grupo Televisa, is one of the largest Spanish-speaking media companies in the world. Founded in 1955, Televisa is headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. The company operates in various sectors of the media industry, including broadcast television, pay television, content production, radio, music, film and telecommunications. Regarding their ability to "block" actors, it is important to understand that media companies, such as Televisa, have significant power in the entertainment industry due to their influence and resources. This can translate into the ability to influence the careers of actors, presenters and other talent. Televisa, in particular, has been known for being one of the leading producers of soap operas and entertainment programs in Latin America. Actors who work in soap operas and Televisa programs often gain great visibility and popularity in the region. As a result, Televisa can have an important influence on the careers of actors who collaborate with the company.

Now that you have context, let's go back to Christian. Christian said in an interview in 2022 that he already had a husband when he joined RBD, but he had not yet 'come out of the closet', and Televisa found out because they wanted to extort the company with photos of his wedding.

Christian: "My producer called me and said, 'Hey, are you married?' And I was like, 'Oh, why? 'Someone got the photos (of your wedding) and they're trying to blackmail Televisa.' At that time, we were at the top and there were a lot of kids going to the concerts and following us. Then he said: 'This is it. Televisa wants to deny everything,'" he recalled in an interview. Christian did not agree, so, not yet ready to open this part of his life to the public, he wrote a letter in which he talked about love and being the people we really are, although he explained that he does not use the word gay, because he was afraid that this could affect his career.

"It was very difficult for me because I was only 23 years old and I didn't have any guidance. There was Ricky Martin, but he hadn't come out (of the closet) yet. I didn't know how to (handle it), especially because they forced me to do it and I wasn't ready." .

Luckily, his fans took the news very well, but the television station executives did not think the same, they even took away the lead role in an important project, because it would no longer be "credible" to the public. With few opportunities in acting, Christian turned to music, where he experienced something similar.

With his career completely stagnant, the singer was plunged into a deep depression that led him to try to take his life: "I was so depressed and so destroyed at that moment. I thought that was it. I tried to commit suicide and there was a moment in my life that I could say that I lost everything. I had no money. It was a joke for the media. I hated myself," he added.

RBD ended because they were fed up with Televisa

Among the revelations that the singer made was that all the protagonists of RBD signed a contract before starting, but they never imagined the great success that the soap opera and the group would have, as they even filled the Los Angeles Coliseum.

All of them continued to earn the same, unlike what happens for example in the United States, and he made the comparison with "Friends", whose protagonists were earning more as the series became more successful.

"That's why the group ended, because we were already fed up," he said.

Louisiana state officials delay flood funding to New Orleans a second time over city officials' stance on abortion - CNN

They're going to drown New Orleans, killing tens of thousands of people, over the city officials' theoretical support for abortion access, even though in reality New Orleans doctors won't provide an abortion for a woman whose fetus has no skull. "Pro-life" has nothing to do with saving lives and everything to do with cruelty. It's the sort of tyranny history associates with the worst of dictators.

Tristan enjoys the Busy Buddy (small): "steals" it from my side table, carries it to the dog bed to roll around, and then brings it to me when he's done. It doesn't hold much, but Tristan being able to carry it makes it perfect for a little bedtime routine.
