The cucks 98.3 KBOC in Dallas switched formats from Reggaeton to some romantic, "easy listening" format. Certainly someone else will fill that void. Not having Reggaeton in Dallas is like not having Country in Nashville. Oh well, I'm moving to Austin later this year anyway.

As an added bonus, they are featuring convicted child molester Gloria Trevi on their website. I guess it's only OK to objectify girls/women if one is a lesbian.

Convicted child molester?

and

...on 21st September 2004, she was finally acquitted by a Mexican court, which cited lack of evidence in the case.

Now I didn't even know who this individual was until you posted this thread. Which led me to investigate to find out.

Whether she actually committed the crime(s) alleged or not remains to be seen. But the information available indicates that she was never "convicted." Just pointing that out for clarity.
 

She was convicted in Brazil and did three years in a Brazilian prison then deported back to Mexico. There was lack of evidence in Mexico because the girls had become of age after she spent three years in a Brazilian prison and the Brazilian girls didn't want to bother testifying to the Mexican authorities.
 

Well, maybe I am missing something, but the reports indicate she was arrested in Brazil due to charges in Mexico and she fought extradition. Mexican Pop Star Gloria Trevi, Manager Arrested in Sex Scandal - Los Angeles Times

I can't seem to find any reports of actual conviction in Brazil. :shrug:

In any case, I was merely pointing out there was no value in disparaging her in your OP unless you know your assertions are factual.

It bugs me because this is the problem with the Court of Public Opinion, assuming truth when there is none. For example, thanks to lurid headlines some people still believe members of the Duke Lacrosse team were guilty of rape.
 

We are discussing whether Trevi is suitable as a public figure. If you have enough money, things have to be REALLY serious not to beat justice in Mexico and Brazil. Consider this:

That may be what you are discussing.

What I am discussing is making false/erroneous assertions to color the narrative.

Like I said, I've never even heard of this woman before your thread. So I simply did some research to find out who she was so I could make an informed determination about your stated concerns.

I know, I know, MOST people don't do this...which is a major problem I have when "most people" make assertions of fact when in actuality they are merely expressing opinions.

I will give you credit for debunking a common perception: She is thought to have spent three years in a Brazilian prison because she was thought to be convicted. She likely would have been convicted had she not been allowed to return to Mexico.
 
They don't have a dedicated Reggaeton station here, no surprise, but I have found more and more they are playing some on the regular hip hop/pop stations like:


I think mostly because artists like J Balvin, Daddy Yankee, and Ozuna are getting more mainstream. I also like Karol G but I feel like the females are not quite going as mainstream in the US as the guys. Hopefully that changes, like now.
