Selena’s former husband Chris Perez ends years-long legal battle with Quintanillas over documentary

Selena’s former husband Chris Perez posted a tweet on Tuesday claiming that his legal battle—which has lasted a half-decade—with the Quintanilla family has come to a mutual end. The legal battle was over a proposed Selena documentary. 

According to the former husband of the late Tejano idol, he and the Quintanilla family have “amicably resolved” their ongoing legal dispute over the proposed documentary on Selena’s life and music. 

Chris Perez’s tweet read:

Good news! I have amicably resolved my legal dispute with the Quintanilla family. Now that these issues are behind us, going forward, my hope, and the hope of the Quintanilla family, is for us to work together to continue to honor and celebrate the legacy of Selena. 

Selena’s father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., shared a similar message of reconciliation on Facebook shortly after Perez’s post.
