As he has never been seen before on television, Ángel Cristo Jr (42) has opened up on the channel to describe what happened behind the circus tents and the walls of the houses of La Moraleja and Boadilla del Monte. His story is terrifying. The firstborn son of Bárbara Rey (73) and Ángel Cristo was born with a hiatal hernia problem that was detected very late "and as I cried a lot I did not sleep, my mother put me in the bottle so that I would sleep better. Giving pills for the nerves has been recurrent in my mother. She could see that there was a problem, but since she couldn't identify which one, the solution was to medicate me." From a young age, Angel Jr. was responsible for everything.

He made the statements at the premiere of the program ¡De viernes! on Telecinco that were recorded a month and a half ago. Angel is saturated. He has been suffering from psychological problems for decades. And you probably need the money. That's why it has exploded. "The house of the Moraleja was a nightmare, a hell, there were fights, screams, flying objects, a lot of fear and blood. I heard 'I'm going to kill you, bitch' (...) There was slapping, my father dragged my mother by the hair, down the stairs, across the living room and into the street, threw her clothes on the floor, there was always alcohol, drugs and bad people in the house. My sister and I caught lice at home, not at school," Angel laments.

At all times, his nanny, Ana Caro, was in charge of protecting the boy and his sister Sofia by taking them to her room. Basically, the nanny took care of them as their father began to enter a spiral of self-destruction and their mother had always felt very lonely. Once the former vedette got custody of the children, she moved with them to the mansion in La Moraleja where Ángel had removed all the furniture, mattresses, lamps... Behind closed doors, they lived in near poverty. After a few years they moved to a semi-detached house in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), where Bárbara sometimes quoted Juan Carlos I (85).

Angel was required to grow at full speed. On the show she confessed that "my mother was always very lonely, she needed someone's help. When he buys Boadilla's house, he tells me that I am the man of the house and I take care of everything. From the animals, from the garden, from the cars, from the people who work in the house. That's when I start serving it. It wasn't his son, he was his servant. On Friday nights I had to stay with her to watch TV, pay the employees, fire others, go shopping, etc." and adds that she even had the "authorization to sign checks and promissory notes to pay the gardener or the vet. I took the money out of the bank where I signed the checks in front of the bank manager when I was even younger. Everything was agreed with my mother and the director. I had to be at the lady's disposal 24 hours a day."

While the spectators are freaking out live with the statements, Bárbara is in Totana because her brother Salvador has passed away. The former actress was devastated and, according to the collaborators on the set and the guest of honor to talk about the subject, the former vedette Jenny Llada (70), Barbara's lifelong friend, she showed more uneasiness for her son than for the death of her loved one. Angel's calm is abysmal. She recounts how her father showed up with a gun at a bingo hall where Bárbara could spend 100 to 30,000 euros in a night, she had to deal with the lenders her mother had asked for money, her friends jerked off looking at the photos of their mother in Interviú, or how her mother stayed in bed unable to cope with her daughter's drug addiction since she was 13 years old. He tasked Angel with taking care of the situation.

"My sister was on a rhythm of spending thousands of euros a month on drugs. Money earned by my mother honestly. Sometimes it came from work and sometimes from other types of work. It came from payments that were periodically made to my mother for blackmailing the King of Spain," Angel said. And he reveals that "my mother asks me to take as many photos as I can of the King of Spain. I made as many films as I could with a DSLR camera."
