Asked what he had chosen at that critical moment in his life, the singer replied: &#8220;Between a psychiatrist and the Bahamas, I chose the Bahamas!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, a house on the island of New Providence seemed like the movement of a romantic hermit seeking peace after a surgical intervention. Today, four decades later, that choice looks like the beginning of building an impenetrable fortress where law and morality have begun to lose their way.<\/p>\n<p>Julio Iglesias, now 82, has spent the second half of his life hidden in what he calls his \u201cBermuda Triangle\u201d: a series of luxury residences between the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and Indian Creek Island in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>The veil of mystery that surrounded this seclusion of self-imposed has just been torn apart, as this week two former housekeepers filed a shocking lawsuit in Spain&#8217;s National Court, accusing the artist of sexual assault, sexual harassment and human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, the events allegedly took place in 2021 at his Caribbean villas, where a frightening atmosphere of control and humiliation prevailed. Sociologist Hans Laguna and journalist Maruja Torres, who followed the singer for a month in the 1980s, describe his private life as a closed and strictly controlled structure.<\/p>\n<p>Torres testifies that Iglesias tended to humiliate staff and treat women like &#8220;hunted beasts&#8221;. His isolation was not simply a desire for peace, but a means to exercise absolute power over those around him, away from the eyes of the world and the media that for years have pampered his image.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that Iglesias has denied the accusations through social networks, the testimonies of &#8220;protected witnesses&#8221; are bringing to light a dark side that even tax havens can no longer hide. From stories of &#8220;virtual&#8221; long-distance marriages to accusations of forced STD tests on staff, the myth of the Spaniard who charmed the world is being replaced by the image of a lonely and abusive man.<\/p>\n<p>For Julio Iglesias, who once declared that he &#8220;lives wonderfully in solitude&#8221;, the paradise he chose in 1985 is turning into a legal hell. His credibility is drowning in the same sea where he built his impregnable castles.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June 1985, at the height of his success in America, Julio Iglesias gave a prophetic answer to EL PA\u00cdS journalist Juan Cueto.
