Chiquis Rivera on the Loss of Her Late Mother Jenni Rivera: “I Lost My Mom Twice” (VIDEO)

During an interview on The Real, Chiquis opens up on the loss of her late mother.

During an interview on The Real, Chiquis Rivera and her siblings opened up on the loss of their late mother.

Sadly, La Diva de la Banda and her eldest daughter weren’t in speaking terms when she passed away. There were rumors swirling that Chiquis was allegedly having an affair with her stepfather, and the couple ended their marriage.

“I always say I lost my mom twice,” Chiquis tells host Adrienne Bailon. “I lost her October 2, 2012, and then when she left all of us December 9. I think more than anything now, I understand it, when things happen for a reason, and it was meant to happen that way, just because I was a couple of steps ahead in the healing process. But it was horrible because it was a huge misunderstanding, it was a huge lie.”

Chiquis denies the alleged affair and believes it was the “toxic voices” that caused the fight between her and her mother.

“There were a lot of toxic voices around, and I think when you’re in that stardom, you’re in that place, there’s people that want to come near you, and they want to be next to you, and they’ll do anything and say anything,” Chiquis explained. “It was really bad times, but again, I’m trying to see everything. I’m an optimistic person, so I’m like, well maybe it was because I had to be strong for my siblings, cause we were so close."
