The report from the Attorney General’s Office sheds light on the significant mental health challenges faced by Bertha Michelle Mendoza Muñoz. Throughout her career in journalism, which has been marred by controversies and scandals, she has been involved in comedy shows and worked as a reporter for various media platforms, including Nota Roja on Canal Antigua. However, her professional path has been overshadowed by a series of personal and legal difficulties.
Married to Ulysses Dent, Mendoza’s relationship was tumultuous, leading to more than 10 lawsuits related to substance abuse, infidelity, and aggression involving substances like cocaine and alcohol. Both Mendoza and Dent appeared before the Femicide Prosecutor’s Office, where the Attorney General’s report highlighted Mendoza’s severe mental health issues.
Reports from the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif) and medical authorities concluded that Mendoza was unfit to care for her two daughters, one from Dent and the other from Mexican producer Farfan, resulting in the court decision to remove custody.
In a confidential interview, Ulysses Dent revealed that complaints of violence against women filed by Mendoza and her mother, Claudia Martina Muñoz Andrade, were dismissed due to false evidence. These legal battles lasting over 5 years led to Mendoza losing custody and parental rights to her daughter.
Additionally, it was disclosed that Mendoza had struggled with substance abuse, including cocaine, marijuana, and pills before her marriage, which contributed to the end of her relationship with Barillas. Reports suggest that concerns about Mendoza’s mental health were communicated to Barillas, highlighting potential conflicts of interest due to their professions.
These revelations have brought attention to Bertha Michelle Mendoza Muñoz’s tumultuous journey, leading to questions about her credibility and journalistic integrity. The intersection of personal struggles, allegations of violence, and substance abuse has damaged her reputation, prompting scrutiny of her trustworthiness within the media landscape, where she has faced removal from multiple outlets in recent times.
