In a recent revelation on the reality show “La Casa de los Famosos Colombia 3,” Lady Noriega discussed a traumatic event from her past involving notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. Noriega, known for her role in “Pasión de Gavilanes,” shared how Escobar was responsible for the murder of her boyfriend.
Tragic Loss at the Hands of Pablo Escobar
During her conversation with fellow contestants, Noriega recounted the day her boyfriend was murdered. At the time, she had been preparing for their upcoming wedding, scheduled just weeks later on August 15. “He was killed on July 3, and I was left with our wedding plans,” she said.
Details of the Incident
Noriega explained that she was not with her boyfriend when he was killed. Earlier that day, she had accompanied him to his workplace. The tragic event cut short their plans for a future together.
- Date of Murder: July 3
- Wedding Date: August 15
The Impact of Narcotrafficking
The impact of narcotrafficking on lives in Colombia has been profound. Lady Noriega’s life changed dramatically after she became aware of Escobar’s interest in her. Following her participation in the National Beauty Contest, Escobar, who was imprisoned at La Catedral, sought her out but was initially rejected by Noriega.
Fearful of repercussions, she made it clear to her family about the threat posed by the prominent drug lord. This ultimately led to her family’s exile, as they faced significant danger. “Saying no to someone like him could make you an enemy,” Noriega reflected on her decision at the time.
Personal Loss Amidst Violence
Noriega’s grief extends beyond her boyfriend. She revealed that many close to her lost their lives due to escalating violence linked to the drug trade. “I had to watch friends die in university,” she recalled, emphasizing the personal toll of the narcotrafic era in the 1990s.
Through sharing her story, Lady Noriega highlights the tragic consequences of violence associated with drug trafficking in Colombia, an issue that continues to resonate with many. Her experience serves as a reminder of the personal tragedies that often accompany such widespread societal problems.
