Noelia Lorenzo Monge


Noelia Lorenzo Monge was on born August 31, 1977 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, mostly known as Noelia, is a Puerto Rican pop singer who rose to fame in 1999. She is the first daughter of Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge and Alfredo Lorenzo.
Her self-titled debut album was certified as a gold album in the United States for 500,000 units sold. During her career she has had nine Latin Billboard Top 40 hits.

Recently People en Español named Noelia as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in 2008.

In June 2007, a hot video tape of Noelia and former boyfriend Yamil started circulating on the Internet, which caused a media hype around her person. In August of 2007, Noelia accused her step-father and former manager, Topy Mamery, of s3xually assaulting her back in 2003; she claimed to have filed a lawsuit, calling singer Ricardo Montaner as a witness. However, Mamery says he has not received any lawsuit, and Montaner says he has never been called to testify. During an interview with Primer Impacto Montaner was asked about this and he said, "I have never seen anything weird (between Noelia and Mamery). Mamery is a gentleman that has loved Noelia as her daughter".According to Mamery, he’s not the first person Noelia has accused of s3xual assault. He claims that in the last five years the singer has pointed the finger at Guillermo Santiso, former president of Fonovisa (her old record label), and singer Alejandro Montaner, son of Ricardo Montaner.

In October of 2007, Mamery went to the FBI with evidence that allegedly incriminated Jorge Reynoso with the distribution of Noelia's hot tape. Weeks later, Mamery sued Noelia and Jorge Reynoso in Federal Court for defamation and libel. In February of 2008, Noelia's lawyer decided to quit representing Noelia in the defamation lawsuit against her. In May of 2008, the judge José A. Fusté did an annotation of defiance to the singer Noelia and to his partner and manager, Jorge Reynoso, in favor of the petition presented by Mamery, who sued the couple for defamation for declaring knowingly that it is false that he sexually assaulted Noelia. However, on June 13, 2008, Fusté dismissed the case by declaring that there was no defamation and libel since Mamery is a public figure. Fusté concluded that "although it is true there might be some indication that Reynoso could be connected to the website where the video was sold, the court could not say for sure if he was the one that put it. Fusté also reprimanded both sides for airing publicly their personal issues.
