The Attorney General’s Office report highlights serious mental health issues concerning Bertha Michelle Mendoza Muñoz. Her journalistic career, entwined with controversies and scandals, involved roles in comedy and as an aide-de-camp, alongside reporting for various media outlets like Nota Roja on Canal Antigua. However, her professional journey was marred by personal and legal turmoil.
Married to Ulysses Dent, Mendoza faced a turbulent relationship marked by over 10 lawsuits for substance abuse, infidelity, and aggression involving toxic substances like cocaine and alcohol. Both Mendoza and Dent visited the Femicide Prosecutor’s Office, where the Attorney General’s report flagged Mendoza’s severe mental health challenges.
Reports from the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif) and medical authorities deemed Mendoza unfit to care for her daughters, one from Dent and the other from Mexican producer Farfan, leading to a court decision to revoke custody.
In a confidential interview, Ulysses Dent disclosed the dismissal of violence complaints filed by Mendoza and her mother, Claudia Martina Muñoz Andrade, citing falsified evidence. These legal battles spanning over 5 years resulted in Mendoza losing custody and parental rights to her daughter.
Notably, prior to her marriage, Mendoza struggled with substance abuse, including cocaine, marijuana, and pills, leading to the end of her relationship with Barillas. Reports suggest warnings about Mendoza’s mental health were raised to Barillas, indicating conflicts of interest due to their professions.
These revelations have cast a spotlight on the tumultuous trajectory of Bertha Michelle Mendoza Muñoz, sparking doubts about her journalistic integrity and credibility. The amalgamation of personal struggles, violence accusations, and addictions has tarnished her reputation, prompting inquiries into her integrity within the media, where she has faced removal from various outlets in recent years.
