On May 10, 2019, the cumbia singer who pays his bills as Cecil Leiva Reyes, but who we know better as Leo Rey, was involved in a lawsuit signed by the trumpeter Víctor Oyarzún.
There, according to the site El Filtrador, the musician sued the producer of the ex-La Noche for unjustified dismissal, requesting the annulment of the dismissal and claiming benefits and compensation.
The aforementioned media ensures that the sentence issued by the 2nd Labor Court of Santiago, dated January 5 of this year, orders Leo Rey Producciones Spa and Wiki Producciones Spa, both companies represented by the singer’s wife, Lorca Cazares, to pay a small amount of money estimated at more than $10 million.
Leo Rey, according to the legal document released by the aforementioned medium, had to pay a sum of $10,171,492 to Oyarzún within 5 days, which, according to El Filtrador, has not yet been fulfilled.
Get out of my life
According to the legal document, the trumpeter Oyarzún began working at Leo Rey Producciones Spa in August 2016 at the express request of the popular singer, receiving a monthly salary of $666,667.
The King, who last March premiered new lookwould have released him in February 2019, according to the musician’s account “arbitrarily and unilaterally.”
“I performed my duties continuously and uninterruptedly for almost three years, learning from other colleagues that the defendant had fired me on February 28, 2019,” Oyarzún said in his statement.
Then he continued: “It was rumored among them that there would be changes in the formation of the band and I also learned through photos and videos (of) that he had been replaced by another trumpeter, being surprised by the way he had been fired, where he also did not pay me my severance pay and other employment benefits that corresponded to me.”
