So is Suzette

He is.

All of them are except Selena and Marcella.

Yessssss

Absolutely

Why did he sue him?

@@8kings23 Chris wrote a book about him and Selena's "love story" some producer wanted to make a film about it which Chris approved. But when Abraham found out he sued him to stop him from making any Selena anything. He said he and only him "own" Selena rights and only he can make films about her. He's known to be very greedy with money. He's belittle Chris as a husband in so many ways even after her death. Trying to push him out of anything related to her. It's just sad.

@@Angie-ze8cn damn! Have you watched the new series on Netflix? I thought it was just ok. Lol

@@8kings23 I haven't yet. But I will start on it this week! I have heard very mix reviews so far.

@@Angie-ze8cn I think it's pretty good if you watch it with an open mind. Don't watch it thinking it's gonna be like the movie, because they go much deeper into the story.

He absolutely nailed that role! Edward is a gifted actor.

@@PorcelainLeigh Yes he is

He was

Yeah he did but he will also always be the Aztec Warrior! Lol

I liked him Battlestar Galactica

Yeah if you pay attention to his actions he seems like Latino version of Joe Jackson except not abusive but has the same mannerisms

2 weeks after she died he didn't wanna let her rest in peace. He wanted "the whole world to know about his daughter". Two weeks after she was buried. He's a money hungry demon.

I do agree with you. I definitely see that in him

Agree Agree Agree!!!!!

@@randomgayboy9198 what happened 2 weeks after?

My thoughts exactly!

Yes! People will never count they blessings

Yes he was perfect

But how do you know? Do you know mr Quintanilla well enough?

Ikr

Listen to the entire video before judging.

Edward did a fantastic job in the film, didn't he! I remember hearing this story once before. Essentially, Selena's father, Abraham, thought that Edward had an over-inflated ego because he didn't listen to a single word that he had to say that night. Fortunately, the producer of the film, Moctesuma Esparza, changed his mind. He basically told Abraham that that's Hollywood for you, that most of the actors in Hollywood have over-inflated egos, and that he'd be hard-pressed to find an actor in Hollywood that didn't have one, lol! So, he simply asked him to just give Edward James Olmos a chance. Fortunately, he did and the rest is history! Now, I never met Edward James Olmos personally but I never got the impression that he's egotistical (based on the interviews that I watched and the commentary I listened to where Edward was speaking about a character that he portrayed in a film). Now, he's a very skilled and confident actor and he was always very dedicated to the roles that he portrayed in films. I never got the impression that he's arrogant or egotistical though. Maybe he just gave Abraham a bad first impression because he was initially a little overzealous, really coveted the role, and wanted to do the film justice. Idk. IMHO, he's an extremely talented actor! I especially loved the concert scene where Selena takes off her jacket and reveals the bustier that she had made. Her unwitting father almost had a heart attack when he spotted her wearing it on stage, lol! That scene was simply hilarious! Now, I can't imagine Abraham being portrayed by any other actor.

Abraham is definitely not a good person.

His not cocky that's a Mexican father for u..

@@_eric_5123 he’s still trash haa

Ik

It's business, what I like about Selena and her siblings is that she was so sweet fun loving and caring including to the villain.

He is a P.O.S. for sure

Yes I agree.

That's why he's getting sued, not only him, but Suzette is getting sued as well, because of greed. Selena's dad broke contact with Moctezuma Espaza.

I mean... hes SELENAS dad so he aint for from it

He’s nothing

Natalie Garcia that doesn't mean 💩. He's just another parent that failed miserably with his band so he thought he can dictate his own kids life into something he wanted them to be and not letting them do what they really wanted to do.

@@DeeNo909 tru

Yup because he is a full blown Covert Narcissist. Greedy thieves

He's just trying to rake in money

And looking identical to the person isn't as important as the person who can really show the essence of the real life character.

@DecolonizeMexico & Aztlan Jennifer Lopez when she's made up to look like Selena isn't that far off. And the actors that Abraham wanted instead of Olmos and Lopez are probably nobodies still.

@@joemckim1183 yeah, he sounds like an idiot. But I guess when its your child no one can capture their essence so you only go for a superficial match.

@@joemckim1183 i dont know about the chick but Ruben Blades is a well known, highly acclaimed actor AND musician. Im not a fan but hes a SUPER FAMOUS, SUPER TALENTED dude.

You dont understand how huge Selena's death was. Especially in the latino community. Yolanda Saldivar was already spreading her lies and rumors about Selena. Alot of people that were specials on Selena acted like they knew her. So I completely understand that Abraham and his family wanted to clear up their story.

Her dad was always controlling that's why she went behind his back. Also his always trying to find ways to profit off of her.(he treats Chris like crap Selena would not be happy about it)

@Dove Smiling youre not a selena fan

@@ashleyronald8579 they are a Selena fan Selena has more remix albums and collector albums then when she was alive it's sad but the family has not let her rest as a fan it's heartbreaking selena would not have wanted this as she said to create something that will live forever 1 year after her death Suzette wanted to become a lead singer but her father said no take care of the museum as fans we need to stop helping them profit she needs to rest think if all the money they made most family's would have made movie like 20 years after a stars death they profit off her every year unfortunately this is how there grieving with her death it's unfortunate

The pain is so tremendous, that doing the movie is like. a scape to so much pain, I fully understand their sorrow, I m in the shoes too.

Agree. He could never be famous in his own singing career. So he literally used ,pushed and ,threatened his children to become famous. No true Christian Man or Woman would strive for fame. We know our riches are not found in this world.

@@priscillavalenzuela9736 ... Exactly, this man is a sick narcissist manipulative and extremely controlling. He legit abused his own family, mentally and emotionally... He stated it is against his religion to accept blood transfusion for his own daughter yet it’s not against his religion to obsessed over fame, money, power, control, and keep Chris Perez away from his wife legacy? Smh. He’s sick.

Exactly how I felt watching this

I agree

That's why Selena eloped.

He is mantaining alive the memory of Selena, is a way to relieve the pain, I fully understand him. You are a great father Mr Quintanilla.

She wouldve fired him if she were still alive. He’s too controlling,

She probably would also be ashamed of how you talk about her own father

@@jeansummers6452 this times 10000000

Selena would not even think that way, she would be happy that he’s also trying to keep her Legacy alive to my generation (z) and New ones. All what you saying might be true but that’s low, how you can say that about someons’s dad true or not true Selena would ashamed no sad that a “FAN” of her’s thought that way there’s a limit buddy and you crossed it.

But he was the one who managed them, just like joe jackson for the jackson 5.

He admits to putting his dreams into his kids was a bad idea because if it was going to lead to Selena getting killed he would never do it

Can you say Joe Jackson! But..... where would they be without that push!

@@leroylawrence2773 maybe alive? At least Selena might be.

I agree

Omg yes!!

Yup. Just let her rest.

They always have

And I just found out that they started producing a Selena movie two weeks after her DEATH

If they don’t then some other person will.. it’s better if it stays in the family

Thank you! Exactly you are spot on. Couldn’t have said it better myself

EXACTLY

Actually because of Selena the movie was a huge hit.

They nailed those roles for sure.

Not because of them!!! Because it was about Selenas life. Look at the series of Selena the acters don't look like them & it was good!

The arrogance..

That's how full of himself he is, to this day!!!

@@alyssabrown6877 it’s disgusting

@@dbsofuxbzks i was like really??? I never knew how bad it was. I don’t like this man at all.

Your right Selena is😂

Yes!!

Not only that he was hella strict with Selena

Exactly. He doesn’t listen either.

Right he had the nerve to say Edward talks too much.

@@liljay216 😂 this man talks more than anybody

What about her brother and widower husband? Did they do what Abraham seem to be doing?

Riveras?

Yeah jenni Rivera and her family... her dad did so many local musicians in Cali dirty !! They rose to the top and never looked back

@@RushedGamer Sorry my last name is Rivera so I was confused lol

You’re right Karen, trailblazers like her should be completely forgotten like they never even existed 🙄. Notice how no one makes this complaint about Elvis Presley and his fandom.

He was not only her father, he was her Manager. It's within his scope of responsibilities.

Adrian De La Cruz that’s true 😂

@@loveinspired7 yeah but what adrian is talking about really shows more now that selena’s gone, i mean come on... one film and a show based off selena??? hes tried suing chris!!

It's selena

One thing is being her manager and another one wanting to control her private life. That’s the reason why she had to get married behind her fathers back. He didn’t want her to date at all but yet he was fine with suzette dating and getting married.

That's so true! Honestly I never thought of it that way. He was living his dream through his kids and the group they formed.

He went as far as to showing this poor woman resting in her casket for the public.

The worst Father? I’ve seen worse. A lot worse, and say what you want about him being a stage dad. I’d sooner him then Joe Jackson.

Or, just or maybe he wanted a better life for them, a life he never had, a life they didn’t have to struggle as he did. He is a veteran after all

@chrisitl I hate how judgmental he was. Like he treated everyone as if they weren’t good enough to be Selena. He was like that to everyone……….except the one person he should’ve kept his eye on the most…..Yolanda.

The woman that killed her was her "biggest fan" too remember. That's how the fan club was started. Not saying he isn't rude but he's probably hesitant to trust strangers after what happened to her.

@Gc Navejar well then I guess he shouldn’t have been there representing his daughter because she loved her fans and didn’t mind it,but it’s ok to put his arm around other people he didn’t know he took a picture with my cousin at the tejano awards and didn’t know him. I swear some people are dumb as hell.

He’s just an awful person overall

Everyone goes to museum and uses that phrase- you were probably too aggressive. One couple was from Ohio so he gave everyone who was there a secret tour upstairs that lasted 45 minutes. He let them ask any questions- they asked about the ring. He threw it in Corpus Christi bay. He was nice but he gets that a lot. They usually are there in the museum but don’t like people to grab on them, that happens a lot too.

Your is not important nor moving

Right they did him a favor.

Jennifer owes her success to this movie

@@whimsicalmarshmellow6212 her acting was horrible to me

It’s like she was trying to hard to be extra bubbly,the over laughing like the real Selena. It was a horrible reinactment.. even her lip singing parts “I could fall in love “ in the studio she was over singing it. The dad was a great choice but jlo was a mistake To cast if you really look at it

@@mizzmini45 but not as bad as Christian serratos

Ikr?? He carries the latino crap too far

I really fell in love with Selena's mother in the SELENA movie with JLO & In the series she is everything I just love her

Covert narcissist

Then change the channel dodo

🤣

Lol!! Yes!

😂😂

🤣

Totally agree!! Like really ?? The movie was not about him!!! It was about his daughter and this man was looking for some handsome actor to play him what a joke!

andrew he doesn’t seem like a particularly warm person

It's okay. Me either

Yeah, he always gave me a bad vibe.

Well he profits off his daughter. Many people have said he was rude. And he also hates chris and sued him bc chris wrote a book about their marriage together. Abarham is a bad man and money hungry. Selena had to elope for gods sake to prove to her stubborn father. Hes still mad about it

I'm pretty sure if selena was here, she wouldn't like you, or the rest of these disrespectful people talking down on her dad either 🤡🤡

@I miss my cat And neither do you . You know what you hear 👂 that is all . You know just as much as the rest of us do so stop speaking as if you slept over their house at some point or as of Selena told you all these things smh

I Agree He's a bitter Man No Wonder Selena Went Behind His Back. & Eloped With Chris

@I miss my cat I read Chris Perez book Selena would have her breakdown moments thanks to her father and also anxiety attacks thanks to him that tells you everything! Poor Selena

@@LEGENDPantherJennings I agree. I even think at times Selena was actually afraid of him and what he would say which was most likely no to her and Chris getting married. That's obviously why she did it. Also I feel Selena didn't have control over her career so this was a way of showing her independence and "breaking out" so to speak. I don't care what anyone says Abraham was and is very controlling and arrogant

@I miss my cat Relax

I was waiting for someone to say that 🙏

You gotta understand, these two men are from the same generation. They’re stubborn and very old school. In the end, Olmos was a great pick.

Yes he is

Edward got scared making american me maybe thats y he didn't want edward

Lol!! Very whack.

AGREED!

Facts

Totally agree!! And you know the Quintanilla family will never tell the real story. Selena’s dad was so controlling of her in every aspect of her life. They will not show how he would make her cry and pressure her she would get anxiety attacks thanks to her father. I read Chris Peres book and damn I felt sorry for Selena.

Agree

I wonder how he would’ve reacted if finding out that Selena wanted to settle down and start a family, putting the singing stuff on hold.

You never met him

@TheDelb4 I mean, Abraham did play a big role in a lot of things. Like if it weren’t for him, the world wouldn’t have Selena to look up to. Their whole family would’ve also been struggling to find work and put food on the table. Music became their way of making a living after the economy crashed, forcing them to move to Selena’s uncle’s crowded house.

How is the family supposed to make money after she died 🤔 I mean her museum is going to pay for it self lol.

In her own right Helen Hunt is a GREAT Actress 👍👍🤔🙌

Thats what she said... she didn't say she won

@@yolandaperez7009 I really liked Helen Hunt back in the day , but i guess they don't like people who prefer to grow old without surgery in Hollywood..

Of course Helen Hunt won. Who ever that is lol sorry just don’t know her. Jennifer Lopez didn’t have a chance against a white woman; especially around that time. White America 🇺🇸 at its finest.

@@el_towers what ever Helen won because she is a great actress if you knew her you would agree 🤨

Technically when they are doing biopics they normally go for a person who look more like the person the movie is about . That common sense!

@MD-iw9te I don’t care what anyone says! Jlo was amazing in this. She put her heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into this role.

Maybe because he’s a money hog that uses his daughters name for money and profit

People don't like him because he was an abusive father. He pushed those kids so hard to gain the fame he never could with his band Los Dinos....Happens all the time. I think its because he comes off as Narcissistic also.

And then said look at where she is now.... like she should be thanking him..smh

Have you not watched the movie ? Have you not watched the interviews? This man is full of himself

Thank you I agree

Man i said the same thing.

Nah he make joe look like a saint, mr joe didn’t get mad nor was he never rude to his fans

@@Ostine8333 nahhhh joe is way worse, at least this guy never called his kids ugly or beat them continuously. i don’t like abraham either but joe jackson was a different kind of bad

@@nicolahhh yea that’s true too

@@nicolahhh you don’t know that

Not Jennifer Lopez.

@@olgacantu4179 Jennifer was already famous at that point. She just wasn’t huge huge

@@datnigga9169 Not at all. She was just known as someone that was on the money train

@@olgacantu4179 she was one of the main characters in 3 movies before Selena. She was also known as a beautiful actres with a bright future in 95. With or without Selena she would of gotten as famous as she is now

@@datnigga9169 those movies aren’t even know today. Yea everybody gets that “bright future title” without Selena she wouldn’t had been where she is now 100% Selena was huge when she died everyone knew who Jennifer was after that movie

Tipical latino

Lmbo. Yup!

Actually, he’s not entirely wrong. Yes J Lo had started her career before the Selena movie, but she only had minor roles in films and television . Selena was the first time she ever got the lead role, it was what got her recognition. Then she started her music career not long after which increased her popularity. Say what you want, but J Lo owes a lot of her fame to Selena. J Lo herself has even acknowledge this.

@@TejanoBarrera JLO was destine to be a superstar with or without Selena .Selena was a step in stone.

the movie is what got jlo to blow up

@@reinaldojoselugo2682 Maybe, maybe not. Neither you nor I know how JLo’s life would’ve turned out had she not starred in Selena. All we know are the facts. Starring in Selena jump started her acting career, she started getting more lead roles and starring in bigger films. Selena also partly inspired her music career. After filming Selena, JLo was feeling her Latin roots, and recorded a demo in Spanish. Which eventually made it’s way to Tommy Mottola, who later signed her to his label. Not too long after she recorded “On the 6”. Selena played a huge part in JLo’s career. As I said before JLo said numerous times how grateful she is for that role. Even today, she continues to talk about and honor Selena

jlo was a back up dancer back than the movie indeed made her who she is today and lets not forget all the fraud from her and tommy matola made her career

I know so similar

Omg yu

Well what else do people wanna talk to him about

People are always going to ask questions & want to talk about Selena with him, that's her father & the only thing he's ever been known for. Plus with the public's extremely hungry appetite of still wanting to learn more about her (more so with this upcoming younger generation) he's never going to be able to turn it off by no means because Selena's obviously never going to be forgotten by anyone even after she's been gone now longer than she was even alive. I personally think Selena's watching over her family & making sure they're being taken care of.

He was her manager and if he didn’t run her legacy who would? A random person REALLY exploiting her?

lmao you’re clearly not a true Selena fan

I don't understand that attitude at all. She was his daughter. How is he exploiting her?

JLO did a good job but I think the movie would’ve been a success regardless; Selena was turned into an icon at the time of her death, JLO got a huge jumpstart on her career due to it

Wrong about the memory

Exactly! Many people didn't know Selena til the movie came out. JLo's portrayal was hair raising. No one else had the body and charisma to pull of Selena's role. Plus JLo already had an acting career and was coming up like foam just like Selena was in the music industry. People just want to envy her for doing such an excellent job, oh, and because she wasn't Mexican. Should've started with that one. Lol

@@Diaz08 Mexicans were in there feelings because JLo was Puerto Rican playing a Chicana tejano artist by Selena

@@ricanredru4760 really? I never heard that. Lol.... everyone loved JLo that I know of. They accused her of wanting to be like Selena, like her laugh and stuff. But Jlo actually is a lot like Selena. She wasn't faking it... I did hear lots of people wanted Olga Tanon, I think she's Puerto Rican too.

Totally agree plus you know the series is not going to show how controlling he was of Selena .....Selena would have anxiety attacks thanks to her father. Reading Chris Perez book gives you a glimpse of how mean mr.Q was with Selena

I thought that Chris was producing the series? I read that it was his idea. Bringing his book and side of the story to life.

@@lauralarrabee7870 damn that's messed up. They stole his idea and now they are getting sued by the producer of the movie.

@Gc Navejar I think you got them switched

Actually if you search for young Selena, you'll notice she looks like the actor. The series is fine.

He probably wanted Charlie Sheen or Tom Cruz to portray him lol

Im sorry but i heard some of that too. I heard Selena needed some blood transfusions bcus of all the blood she has loss. But bcusof there. Religion . Mr quintanilla did not accept it. Look for this interview s in you tube

@@j.padilla9366 I thought they had gone along with the blood transfusion and it still didn't work? Can you direct me to the exact interview?

@@j.padilla9366 The Doc had already done the blood transfusion but she was already dead,the famiy arrive at the hospital just to receive the news that there was nothing else to do.

Lol heck no. Their dad might be tough but he fought for his family

Eventually, yes. I agree. She would’ve wanted to blossom as a woman, wife, and maybe a mom. Her dad was too overbearing.

Didn't Beyoncé do that? I feel like if Britney Spears could go back she'd do the same.

She had the All-American next door attitude. Always saw the best in people

Omg tysm for commenting this

I think it's his delivery, straight shooter no chaser... sometimes it's hard to digest individuals like him..like Joe jackson 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@ymurray73yj Exactly, most people in situations like this beat around the bush and pretend to be more empathetic.

EXACTLY!!

Yeah, my white dad is just like that lol. Not arrogant or a Mexican theme only.

The FANS want that show. Get it right! Just because you don't like selena, doesn't mean others do too.

Is she from Florida?

It may come from pain. He probably felt he was going to make millions from selena until he died.

Salma hayek was considered for the role but she has a heavy accent and Selena spoke fluent English

@htownlithium Salma was among the actresses considered for the role, but English is not her native language and speaks with an accent, which is contrary to Selena, whose native language was English but struggled with Spanish.
