UPDATED: Tapes Don't Lie: Shakira Allegedly Rocked Yacht With Two Dudes And A Camera

Posted by Bryan Christian


Former employees of Alejandro Sanz are currently being prosecuted for, among other things, attempting to extort money from the hugely succesful Spanish recording artist with, it has been alleged, a tape showing him in an MFM-threeway with a certain other Latin-language superstar. And no, we're not talking about either Gloria Estefan or anyone in the Miami Sound Machine. Click through for more details...

UPDATE: ... which are apparently totally fake since Radar is reporting that it's an April Fools prank by the DJ we refer to in the piece. Jerk!

A home-made tape could involve Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz, Colombian pop diva Shakira and her boyfriend, Antonio de la Rúa, in sexual intercourse together aboard a yacht owned by Sanz.

According to Internet portal Infobae.com, the tape is being held by the prosecutors evaluating the case against Carlos González and his wife, Sylvia Alzate, Sanz ex-employees who are accused of extortion against the artist.

This morning, People en Español released an article citing that both artists' agencies have denied the existence of such a tape.

However, that hasn't stopped radio DJ's from mentioning the tape on the air and getting rumor out there. Defamer points out that if the tape exists, and becomes part of the proceedings in the prosection of Sanz's would-be blackmailers, it would certainly make its way online -- but we're not so hopeful. Strike that: we're wayyyyyy hopeful; we're just not optimistic. Anyway, since you already know what Shakira looks like, have a gander at the two fellas who may have touched peepees or something.

Sanz, who it should be noted has won more Latin Grammy's than anyone else. [via]


Antonio de la Rúa, who it should be noted is no longer going out with Shakira, who it should be noted is standing next to him. [via]

yeah, one of those instances where i found it impossible to say things quickly without cribbing from the sources, which one never likes to do, got a little tongue-tied in the process.
